How many good attempts were there on 1 October 2026?
For Shift 1, about 79–83 out of 100. Shift 2 reports range from about 80 to 90, though some listings say lower. These are unofficial estimates.
Which Shift 1 General Awareness questions were asked on 1 October?
Candidates recalled questions on IMEC, Chapchar Kut, the Booker Prize, Articles 243 and 131A, the 97th Amendment, the BNS/BNSS and zero FIR, and the first Indian Grand Slam winner. These are memory-based and unofficial.
Is the 15-minute sectional timer still in force?
Yes. Each section locks after 15 minutes and you cannot return to it, so skipping long questions early is important, especially in Quant.
Will a tougher shift lower my final score?
No. SSC normalises scores across shifts, so candidates in a harder shift are not penalised compared with those in an easier one.
