The SSC MTS Computer-Based Examination consists of 90 objective multiple-choice questions for 270 marks, divided into two mandatory sessions held in a single continuous 90-minute sitting:
- Session 1 Numerical Ability & Reasoning: 40 questions (120 marks) in 45 minutes. No negative marking is applied in Session 1. This session is strictly qualifying in nature.
- Session 2 General Awareness & English Language: 50 questions (150 marks) in 45 minutes. Negative marking of 1 mark (-1) is penalized for each incorrect response. Marks scored in Session 2 solely decide final selection merit.
