How to use previous year papers
Attempt
Sit the paper in 2 hours. No peeking at the key. Same discipline as the Recruitment Test.
Analyse
Mark with the answer key or solved paper. Count misses by official topic i–ix, not by “GS vs optional”.
Identify
Labour Codes, EPF/ESI, accountancy and insurance misses usually decide rank more than recycled culture facts.
Revise
Open only the note that matches the miss. Then take a free mock on the 120-question pattern.
Tag every PYQ miss to one official topic
The notification names nine heads. The lists inside each dropdown are a study breakup of that head — used to classify previous-year questions. They are not a second official notification.
i. General English
ii. Indian Culture, Heritage and Freedom Movements
iii. Developmental Issues and Present Trends in Indian Economy
iv. Governance and Constitution of India
v. General Science and Basic Knowledge of Computer Applications
vi. Elementary Mathematics, Statistics and General Mental Ability
vii. Industrial Relations, Labour Codes and Social Security in India
viii. Principles of Accountancy, Auditing and Insurance
ix. Current Events of National and International Importance
Same-pattern practice
The live APFC Recruitment Test is 120 objective questions, 2 hours, English and Hindi, 1/3 negative marking.
Attempt. Analyse. Identify. Revise.
