33 cards. Read the term and the definition here. The deck at the top of this page is optional.

PWT negative marking

Each wrong answer in the Preliminary Written Test deducts one-fourth of a mark, while unattempted questions score zero. Four wrong answers therefore cancel one correct answer.

PWT total marks

The Preliminary Written Test paper carries 200 objective questions of one mark each, for a maximum of 200 marks, and functions as a screening stage rather than a merit stage.

PWT qualifying nature

Marks scored in the Preliminary Written Test are not added to the final merit list. Candidates only need to cross the category-wise cut-off to advance to the physical tests.

PWT language medium

The Preliminary Written Test question paper is printed bilingually in English and Telugu. Technical and scientific terms generally remain in English within the Telugu version.

Telangana Movement syllabus

A dedicated PWT section covers the Telangana statehood movement, including the 1969 agitation, the 1972 Jai Telangana movement, the 2001 formation of TRS, and the 2014 Andhra Pradesh Reorganisation Act.

PWT arithmetic high-yield topics

Percentages, ratio and proportion, profit and loss, time and work, time and distance, simple and compound interest, averages, and mensuration account for the bulk of numerical questions in the preliminary paper.

PWT reasoning question types

Recurring reasoning items include number and letter series, coding-decoding, blood relations, direction sense, syllogism, analogies, and non-verbal figure completion or series.

PWT current affairs window

Current affairs questions usually draw on events of roughly the preceding twelve months, weighted toward Telangana state schemes, appointments, awards, sports results, and central government initiatives.

PWT time per question

With 200 questions in a single sitting, the average allowance is about thirty to forty seconds per question, which makes accuracy and selective skipping more valuable than attempting everything.

PWT category cut-offs

Qualifying marks are fixed separately for General, BC, SC, ST and sub-quotas such as women and ex-servicemen, so the required raw score differs by category rather than being one uniform pass mark.

PWT polity weightage

Indian Polity questions cover the Constitution's framing, fundamental rights and duties, directive principles, Union and State legislature structure, judiciary, and Panchayati Raj institutions including the 73rd and 74th Amendments.

PMT qualifying status

The Physical Measurement Test is purely qualifying. A candidate failing any prescribed height, chest, or expansion standard is eliminated even with a high written-test score.

Male height standard

The general-category minimum height for male candidates is 167.6 centimetres, with relaxations prescribed for SC, ST, BC and certain other specified categories in the notification.

Female height standard

The general-category minimum height for women candidates is 152.5 centimetres, subject to the category-wise relaxations stated in the recruitment notification in force.

Male chest standard

Male candidates must show a minimum chest of 86.3 centimetres unexpanded with an expansion of at least 5 centimetres. Women candidates are exempt from any chest measurement.

Men's PET events

Male candidates perform three efficiency events: a 1600 metre run, a long jump, and a shot put with a 7.26 kilogram implement, each judged against a prescribed qualifying standard.

Women's PET events

Female candidates perform a 800 metre run, a long jump, and a shot put with a 4 kilogram implement, each evaluated against separately notified qualifying times and distances.

PET all-events rule

Every physical efficiency event must be cleared individually. Outstanding performance in one event does not offset failure in another, and the candidate is treated as not qualified.

PET single re-attempt

A candidate who fails a physical efficiency event is normally allowed one retest, conducted on a separately scheduled date. Absence without valid cause forfeits the candidature.

PMT before PET sequence

Measurement is completed before efficiency testing. Candidates who do not meet the measurement standards are not permitted to proceed to the run, jump, and shot put events.

1600 metre run standard

The male 1600 metre qualifying time is commonly set between about five minutes thirty seconds and six minutes thirty seconds, varying with category and the notification in force.

800 metre run standard

The female 800 metre qualifying time commonly falls between roughly three minutes forty-five seconds and four minutes thirty seconds, depending on category and the applicable notification.

Long jump standards

Qualifying long jump distances are commonly near 3.80 metres for men and 2.75 metres for women, measured from the take-off board and subject to the current notification.

Shot put standards

Qualifying shot put distances are commonly near 5.50 metres for men using a 7.26 kilogram shot and 4.00 metres for women using a 4 kilogram shot.

Physical fitness certificate

Candidates may be required to produce a medical fitness certificate from a registered medical practitioner at the physical test venue, in the format specified by the recruiting board.

FWE two-paper structure

The Final Written Examination consists of Paper I in English and Paper II in Telugu or Urdu, each containing 100 questions worth 100 marks with one-fourth negative marking.

FWE merit determination

Final selection is based on Final Written Examination performance together with notified weightages. Preliminary Written Test marks play no part in determining the merit rank.

Language paper qualifying

Candidates must secure the prescribed minimum in the language paper, commonly around forty percent with category relaxations, before their marks are considered for merit ranking.

English paper grammar focus

Paper I tests articles, tenses, subject-verb agreement, active and passive voice, direct and indirect speech, prepositions, degrees of comparison, and error detection in sentences.

English paper vocabulary focus

Vocabulary items include synonyms, antonyms, one-word substitutions, idioms and phrases, spelling correction, and fill-in-the-blank items testing contextual word choice.

Telugu paper grammar topics

Paper II covers the alphabet and sound system, sandhi, samasa, vibhakti, vocabulary, idioms and phrases, sentence correction, and comprehension or translation passages.

FWE tie-breaking rule

When total Final Written Examination marks are equal, rank is ordinarily decided by date of birth with the older candidate placed higher, subject to the rule stated in the notification.

FWE document verification

After the final written examination, candidates must prove educational qualifications, caste, local status, and any sports or NCC quota claims. A mismatch with the application is fatal.
