Staff Selection Commission (SSC) has officially released the SSC Selection Post Phase 14<\/a><\/strong> notification for 2026.

You can no longer spend 30 minutes just doing maths! If you are worried about this big change, do not worry. In this blog, we will break down the new timing rules and give you a solid step-by-step preparation plan to pass easily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is the New Sectional Timing Rule?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In previous years, you were given a total of 60 minutes for the whole paper. You could manage your own time. But in the 2026 Phase 14 exam, this freedom is gone. The computer will now automatically lock each section after exactly 15 minutes. Below, we have provided the new exam pattern you must understand:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Subject Name<\/strong><\/td>Total Questions<\/strong><\/td>Total Marks<\/strong><\/td>New Sectional Timer<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><\/thead>
General Intelligence (Reasoning)<\/strong><\/td>25<\/td>50<\/td>15 Minutes<\/td><\/tr>
General Awareness (GK)<\/strong><\/td>25<\/td>50<\/td>15 Minutes<\/td><\/tr>
Quantitative Aptitude (Maths)<\/strong><\/td>25<\/td>50<\/td>15 Minutes<\/td><\/tr>

Note: There is a heavy negative marking. You will lose exactly 0.50 marks for every wrong answer. Do not guess blindly.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
