Exam Pattern — What CG PPT Looks Like
| Detail | Information |
|---|---|
| Mode | Offline — pen and paper |
| Duration | 3 hours (180 minutes) |
| Total questions | 150 MCQs |
| Total marks | 150 |
| Marks per correct answer | +1 |
| Negative marking | None |
| Language | Hindi and English |
| Question type | Multiple Choice — 4 options, 1 correct |
No negative marking is a significant advantage. Every question you attempt — even if you are unsure — gives you a 25% chance of scoring 1 mark. There is no logical reason to leave any question blank. In 180 minutes for 150 questions, you have 72 seconds per question on average. That is generous. A steady pace gets you through the full paper with time to review.
Subject-Wise Distribution
CG PPT covers three subjects, all at Class 10 level:
| Subject | Questions | Marks |
|---|---|---|
| Mathematics | 50 | 50 |
| Physics | 50 | 50 |
| Chemistry | 50 | 50 |
| Total | 150 | 150 |
Unlike most polytechnic entrance exams (JEECUP, AP POLYCET, TS POLYCET) where Mathematics dominates with 40–60% of the paper, CG PPT divides all three subjects equally. This is good news for students stronger in Science than Maths — you have equal opportunity across all three.
Syllabus — Chapter by Chapter
All questions are based on Chhattisgarh Board (CGBSE) Class 10 curriculum. Students from CBSE and other boards cover the same core content at Class 10 — the topics are largely identical.
Mathematics — 50 Questions
Algebra (highest priority — 15–18 questions expected): Polynomials, Linear Equations in Two Variables, Quadratic Equations, Arithmetic Progressions. These four chapters together produce the most questions in CG PPT papers. Quadratic equations — know the discriminant (b²-4ac), nature of roots, and factorisation method by heart.
Trigonometry (8–10 questions): Standard values of sin, cos, tan for 0°, 30°, 45°, 60°, 90°. Trigonometric identities (sin²θ + cos²θ = 1 and its derivations). Heights and distances problems.
Geometry (6–8 questions): Basic proportionality theorem, angle-angle similarity, Pythagoras theorem and its converse, circle theorems, tangent properties.
Mensuration (6–8 questions): Surface area and volume of sphere, hemisphere, cylinder, cone, frustum of cone, cube. Formula-heavy chapter — make a one-page formula sheet and revise it daily.
Coordinate Geometry (5–6 questions): Distance formula, section formula, midpoint formula, area of triangle using coordinates.
Statistics and Probability (4–5 questions): Mean, median, mode of grouped data, cumulative frequency curves, basic probability calculations.
Real Numbers (3–4 questions): Euclid’s division algorithm, HCF and LCM, irrational numbers, decimal expansions.
Physics — 50 Questions
Electricity (most important — 12–15 questions): Ohm’s Law (V = IR), resistance in series and parallel circuits, electric power (P = VI, P = I²R, P = V²/R), Joule’s heating effect, household circuits and fuses. This single chapter can yield 12–15 marks if mastered. Work through at least 20 numerical problems on Ohm’s Law and parallel/series resistance.
Light — Reflection and Refraction (10–12 questions): Laws of reflection, image formation in plane and spherical mirrors, mirror formula (1/v + 1/u = 1/f), sign convention, lens formula, power of lens (P = 1/f), human eye defects (myopia, hypermetropia) and correction.
Motion and Force (8–10 questions): Three equations of motion (v = u + at, s = ut + ½at², v² = u² + 2as), Newton’s three laws, gravitational force, free fall, pressure.
Magnetic Effects (5–6 questions): Magnetic field, Fleming’s left-hand rule, right-hand thumb rule, electromagnetic induction, electric motor and generator principles.
Sound (4–5 questions): Wave properties, frequency, amplitude, echo, reverberation, range of hearing.
Chemistry — 50 Questions
Chemical Reactions and Equations (8–10 questions): Types of reactions (combination, decomposition, displacement, double displacement, redox), balancing chemical equations. Balancing is a skill — practice 25 equations and the approach becomes automatic.
Acids, Bases and Salts (8–10 questions): Properties of acids and bases, pH scale (0–14), neutralisation, important salts and their uses (NaHCO₃, Na₂CO₃, Ca(OCl)Cl, CaSO₄·½H₂O and their common names).
Metals and Non-Metals (6–8 questions): Physical and chemical properties, reactivity series, extraction of metals, corrosion and its prevention, alloys.
Carbon and Its Compounds (6–8 questions): Covalent bonding, functional groups (alcohol, aldehyde, ketone, carboxylic acid), homologous series, IUPAC naming basics, properties of ethanol and ethanoic acid, soaps and detergents.
Periodic Table and Classification (5–6 questions): Mendeleev’s periodic law, Modern periodic table, periods and groups, trends in atomic size, ionisation energy, metallic character.
Our Environment (3–4 questions): Ecosystems, food chains, ozone layer, biodegradable and non-biodegradable substances.
19-Day Preparation Plan — April 18 to May 6
Days 1–4 (April 18–21): Electricity + Algebra These two areas together account for approximately 30 marks of the 150-mark paper. Electricity numerical practice (minimum 20 problems). Algebra: quadratic equations and linear equations mastery.
Days 5–8 (April 22–25): Light + Trigonometry + Chemical Reactions Mirror formula and lens formula with sign convention — work through 15 numericals. Trigonometry standard values and identity applications. Chemical equation balancing — practice 25 equations.
Days 9–12 (April 26–29): Motion + Coordinate Geometry + Acids/Bases/Salts April 27 — Download admit card. Confirm exam centre on Google Maps. Motion equations practice. Coordinate Geometry formula revision. Acids and Bases: pH scale and named salts memorised.
Days 13–15 (April 30 – May 2): Mensuration + Metals + Magnetic Effects Surface area and volume formulae — write them from memory each morning. Metals: reactivity series by heart. Magnetic Effects: rules and working principles of motor/generator.
Days 16–17 (May 3–4): Full Mock Test + Weak Area Review Sit with a 150-question practice paper for exactly 180 minutes. No breaks. Score yourself. Identify your three weakest chapters. Spend Day 17 exclusively on those three chapters.
Day 18 (May 5): Light Revision Only Formula sheet review only. No new chapters. 2–3 hours maximum. Rest by afternoon.
Day 19 (May 6 — Night Before): Read through your formula sheet once. Pack your bag — admit card (2 copies), Aadhaar/ID, two black/blue ballpoint pens, transparent water bottle. Look up your exam centre one more time. Sleep by 10 PM. A rested mind on exam morning is worth more than two hours of late-night revision.
Time Strategy Inside the Exam Hall
180 minutes. 150 questions. That is 72 seconds per question.
Recommended subject order: Chemistry → Physics → Mathematics
Time targets:
- Chemistry (50 questions): 45–50 minutes
- Physics (50 questions): 55–60 minutes
- Mathematics (50 questions): 65–70 minutes
- Review: 10–15 minutes
Chemistry questions are mostly recall-based — definitions, properties, reactions. Starting here builds momentum quickly. Physics has numericals that require calculation time — tackle these after you are warmed up. Mathematics gets the maximum time because it needs the most working-out, especially geometry and mensuration problems.
No negative marking — attempt everything. Even if you are completely unsure about a question, click any option. A random guess on a 4-option question gives 25% probability of scoring 1 mark. Across 15 uncertain questions, you statistically get 3–4 marks for free. That can mean 3–4 rank positions in a competitive paper.
What to Carry on May 7
Mandatory — no entry without:
- Printed CG PPT 2026 admit card (physical copy — not phone screenshot)
- One original photo ID — Aadhaar card, school ID, or government-issued ID
Carry for the exam:
- Two blue or black ballpoint pens
- Transparent water bottle (no labels)
Leave completely outside:
- Mobile phone (any phone found inside the exam hall = candidature cancelled)

After the Exam — Answer Key and Result
Provisional answer key: Released within 1–2 weeks after May 7 exam at vyapam.cgstate.gov.in. Download it, check your answers, calculate your estimated score.
Objections: If you believe any answer in the provisional key is incorrect, you can raise an objection through the official portal. Objections must be filed within the announced window with supporting evidence from your Class 10 textbook. After reviewing all objections, the final answer key is published.
Result: Expected May–June 2026 at vyapam.cgstate.gov.in. The result comes as a merit list showing your marks and rank. Download your scorecard immediately — it is needed for counselling.
Qualifying marks: You must score more than zero (at least 1 mark) to be included in the merit list. There is no category-specific minimum beyond this.
Counselling — How Seats Are Allotted
CG PPT 2026 counselling is expected in July 2026, conducted by DTE (Directorate of Technical Education) Chhattisgarh. It runs in multiple rounds.
Process:
- Online registration for counselling at the DTE portal
- Choice filling — select polytechnic colleges and branches in order of preference. Fill as many choices as possible. More choices = better chance of getting a seat.
- Seat allotment — based on your CG PPT rank, category, and choices
- Document verification — offline, at the allotted institution with original documents
- Admission confirmation — pay fees and complete enrollment
Documents for counselling:
- CG PPT 2026 scorecard/merit list printout
- Class 10 marks memo (original and photocopy)
- Class 10 certificate
- Chhattisgarh domicile certificate
- Caste certificate (if applicable — OBC/SC/ST)
- Income certificate for EWS category
- Aadhaar card
- Passport photographs (4 copies)
Important: Counselling registration is separate from the exam application. Even if your rank is good, you must actively register for counselling — it is not automatic.
Top Government Polytechnic Colleges in Chhattisgarh
Government polytechnic colleges in Chhattisgarh are administered by DTE and offer diploma courses at regulated fees — significantly lower than private colleges. The most sought-after:
Government Polytechnic College, Raipur — The most competitive institution in the state. Computer Science and Electronics Engineering branches close at very low ranks. Strong industry connections in the capital city.
Government Polytechnic College, Bhilai — Located in the heart of Chhattisgarh’s industrial belt. Mechanical Engineering is particularly strong here given proximity to SAIL Bhilai Steel Plant — one of India’s largest steel facilities. Students with Mechanical diploma from Bhilai polytechnic find strong employment opportunities locally.
Government Polytechnic College, Bilaspur — Strong for Electrical Engineering and Civil Engineering. Good placement record in SECL (South Eastern Coalfields Limited) and state infrastructure projects.
Government Polytechnic College, Durg — Well-regarded for Electronics and Computer Science. Close to Bhilai industrial area.
Government Polytechnic College, Jagdalpur — Serves students from Bastar region. Civil and Mechanical branches are popular choices for students targeting construction and infrastructure careers in tribal areas.
Beyond government colleges, Chhattisgarh has several government-aided polytechnics that participate in the same CG PPT counselling — these have regulated fees and decent placement outcomes, particularly in mining, power, and construction sectors that are major employers in Chhattisgarh.
What Diploma from a Chhattisgarh Polytechnic Opens For You
A 3-year diploma from a CGPEB-affiliated polytechnic qualifies you for:
Government employment: Junior Engineer (JE) posts in Chhattisgarh state departments — PWD, CSPDCL (Chhattisgarh State Power Distribution Company Limited), SECL, NLC, and other central PSUs with significant presence in CG. Diploma is the minimum qualification for most JE technical posts.
ECET/Lateral entry to B.Tech: After completing your diploma, you can apply for Chhattisgarh’s lateral entry examination and join B.Tech in 2nd year directly — completing your engineering degree in 3 years instead of 4.
Industrial training and apprenticeship: Government polytechnics in Chhattisgarh have mandatory industry training programmes. Bhilai Steel Plant, SECL, NTPC Sipat, and other large employers in the state regularly take polytechnic students for apprenticeship — many get permanent roles from there.
