Staff Selection CommissionGraduate (BSc Physics/CS/IT/Electronics or Diploma Engineering) medium

Since SSC SA IMD is conducted irregularly, PYQ papers are available from 2017 and 2022 cycles. These are extremely valuable resources as they provide the only direct evidence of SSC's question style, difficulty calibration, and topic priorities for both Part A and Part B.

Why SSC SA IMD PYQs Are Critical

  • With only 2 cycles available, every past paper question is high-value – patterns and topic emphases are directly predictive
  • Part B Physics questions reveal the exact depth of BSc topics tested (beyond Class 12 but within BSc Year 2 scope)
  • Part B CS questions show which CS sub-topics SSC emphasises (Networking > Databases > OS > Programming)
  • Part A questions from SA IMD are similar to SSC CGL/CHSL but with slightly more technical science in GK

Frequently Asked Questions

Q.Are only 2 years of SSC SA IMD PYQs available?

Yes, as of 2024. SSC SA IMD was conducted in 2017 and 2022 – these are the only available PYQ sets. Solve both cycles fully (all Part B branches) to maximize your practice bank.

Q.Does SSC provide branch-wise separate question papers for SA IMD?

Yes. SSC publishes separate question papers for the Physics branch and the CS/Electronics branch for Part B. Part A is common for all branches. Download all available Part B papers (Physics and CS) to understand the cross-branch difficulty and topic emphasis.

Q.Can I challenge SSC SA IMD answer keys?

Yes. SSC provides an answer key challenge window after the CBT on ssc.gov.in. Candidates can submit objections with supporting references from standard textbooks for a fee per question. Final revised keys are published after SSC review.

Q.Are SSC SA IMD Part B questions formula-based or conceptual?

A mix of both. Physics Part B includes approximately 30–40% formula-based numerical questions (requiring calculation) and 60–70% conceptual/theory-based MCQs. CS Part B is predominantly conceptual with some SQL and logic gate questions requiring application.
