Age Limit and Relaxation

Persons with Benchmark Disability (40% or more)	As per the advertisement (up to 45 years of age)

Selection Process and Exam Pattern

The selection has two stages: a written exam and document verification.

	Paper I	Paper II

Type	Conventional (descriptive)	Objective MCQs on OMR sheet
Marks	50	200 (200 questions of 1 mark)
Duration	1 hour	2 hours 30 minutes
Nature	Qualifying	Decides merit
Negative marking	None reported	0.25 mark for each wrong answer

Key rules:

You must score at least 30% in Paper I (15 out of 50) or your Paper II will not be evaluated.
The final merit list is made only from Paper II marks.
In a tie in Paper II marks, the older candidate gets preference.
Survey Engineering is the biggest section, so it needs the most preparation time.

Check the exact section-wise marks and syllabus in the official advertisement, as secondary websites show them in different formats.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Applying on the last day. The portal gets slow near 3:00 PM on 9 November.
Paying the fee late. A form without a successful fee payment is not complete.
Using the wrong age cut-off. It is 1 January 2024, not 2026.
Wrong date of birth. It must match the Madhyamik certificate.
Ignoring the experience clause on the ITI route.
Choosing the wrong category, which can lead to rejection at verification.
Trusting rumours. Rely only on psc.wb.gov.in for dates and notices.

Preparation Tips

Start with Survey Engineering. It is the core technical section and the main scoring area of Paper II.
Revise Elementary Mathematics: arithmetic, algebra, geometry, trigonometry and mensuration.
Practise English grammar and comprehension for the English section.
Prepare Paper I (Bengali or Nepali) so you comfortably cross the 15-mark qualifying line. Practise writing, because it is a descriptive paper.
Solve previous year papers, including the 2023 Sub-Surveyor papers, to understand the level.
Practise OMR-style mock tests with a 2.5-hour timer.
Avoid blind guessing, because each wrong answer costs 0.25 mark.
