IT Officer PK Paper (50 Q, older single-exam pattern)

A full Main-pattern Professional Knowledge (IT) paper: 50 questions, 100 marks, 40 minutes, with 0.5 marks deducted for each wrong answer. PK is the only Main paper that decides merit. Questions cover DBMS and SQL, networks and protocols, programming (including code-output questions), data structures and algorithms, information security, operating systems including Linux commands, and the smaller topics, at actual Main difficulty. Every answer comes with an explanation.

The complete objective Main paper in the real 2026 pattern: English 30 Q (25 min) · Reasoning 40 Q (35 min) · Quant 30 Q (25 min) · Professional Knowledge (IT) 50 Q × 2 marks (40 min). 150 questions, 200 marks, 125 minutes, each section on its own timer. Negative marking: 0.25 per wrong in English, Reasoning and Quant; 0.5 per wrong in PK. English, Reasoning and Quant only need to clear their cut-offs; your PK score decides merit. Clear each qualifying section with accuracy, then give PK your full 40 minutes. (The Descriptive English paper is not part of this test.)

Your starting point. This full-length mock follows the real Prelim blueprint — 100 questions across English, Reasoning, Quant and Professional Knowledge (IT), section-timed at 20 minutes each, 125 marks, negative marking 0.25. Set at true exam level (not too hard, not too easy) so your score here is an honest baseline. Sit it before you study more, note which section is weakest, and let that decide where your effort goes.

Exam-level full-length papers in the real Prelim pattern (100 Q · 125 marks · 80 min · section-timed 20 min each · negative 0.25 · PK 2 marks/Q). Question mix and difficulty are calibrated to the actual paper. Use these to lock in your section strategy: clear each cut-off with margin, protect accuracy against negative marking, and pace yourself so no section eats another's time.

Practise the section that decides your merit. This 25-question PK test spans every IT area in the real exam's proportion (DBMS and Networks lead, then Programming, DSA, Security, OS, and the rest), 50 marks, 20 minutes, negative 0.5 per wrong answer. Time-box it at 20 minutes with no notes, then read every explanation — PK is where ranks are made.

More reps on the merit section. Each is a fresh 25-question, full-syllabus PK test in the same exam-weighted proportion (DBMS 5 · Networks 5 · Programming 3 · DSA 3 · Security 2 · OS 2 · Fundamentals 2 · SE 1 · Emerging 1 · Misc 1), 50 marks, 20 minutes, negative 0.5. Concepts recur across tests (as in the real exam) but questions are distinct — build both speed and depth across all IT topics.

Timed Reasoning practice (25 Q · 25 marks · 20 min · negative 0.25) in the exam pattern, led by the high-weight blocks — one seating arrangement and one puzzle set — plus inequalities, syllogisms, blood relations, direction, coding-decoding and ranking. Reasoning is qualifying; the fastest route to the cut-off is mastering the puzzle/seating grid method, so start there.

Timed Quantitative Aptitude practice (25 Q · 25 marks · 20 min · negative 0.25) in the exam pattern, centred on Data Interpretation (the largest block) plus arithmetic, number series, approximation, quadratic comparison and data sufficiency. Quant is qualifying — build calculation speed and pick your attempts wisely to clear the cut-off without leaking marks to negative marking.

Covers the full mix — a Reading Comprehension set plus error-spotting, sentence-improvement, cloze, para-jumbles and fillers. English is qualifying, so aim for a confident clear of the cut-off: prioritise accuracy and don't lose marks to negative marking on guesses.
