Old vs New Pattern — Decoder (Warning!)
The old 150-question pattern is NOT the 2026 pattern. That pattern was linked to older posts such as JTA / Accountant / AE / Superintendent.
The new 2026 pattern is different: the online exam has a total of 202 questions, 230 marks, 3 hours (180 minutes) — 200 objective questions (200 marks) + the descriptive Language & Comprehension test of 2 questions (30 marks).
Candidates preparing from old 150-question pages are preparing for the wrong pattern. Read the new post-wise pattern below for 2026.
The application deadline is near: Apply by 15 November 2026. For full recruitment details, also see our CWC Recruitment 2026 post.
