Indian Coast Guard CGEPT Exam Pattern & Syllabus

The Indian Coast Guard Coast Guard Enrolled Personnel Test (CGEPT) is conducted for recruitment to posts such as Navik (General Duty), Navik (Domestic Branch), Yantrik and other notified enrolled-person categories.

For the current CGEPT-01/2027 and CGEPT-02/2027 recruitment, candidates need to understand the examination structure before beginning preparation because the written examination is not identical for every post.

Navik (DB) candidates are required to appear for Section I, while Navik (GD) candidates appear for Sections I and II. Yantrik candidates have to qualify Section I along with the technical section corresponding to their engineering discipline. Previous official CGEPT examination schemes specify separate technical sections for Electrical, Electronics and Mechanical Engineering.

This guide explains the Indian Coast Guard CGEPT Exam Pattern and Syllabus in detail, including subject-wise topics, question distribution, qualifying marks, post-wise sections, selection stages and preparation strategy.

Indian Coast Guard CGEPT Recruitment 2026: Apply for 365 Posts

Important: Candidates should always compare their preparation with the latest official CGEPT notification and syllabus issued for their recruitment batch. The Indian Coast Guard has confirmed that CGEPT-01/27 and CGEPT-02/27 registration is being conducted through the Staff Selection Commission.

Indian Coast Guard CGEPT Exam Pattern 2026: Overview

The CGEPT examination is conducted in multiple stages. The first stage is the written/computer-based examination, followed by subsequent recruitment stages for candidates shortlisted on the basis of merit and applicable eligibility conditions.

The written examination pattern differs according to the post.

Post-Wise Written Examination

Post	Written Sections
Navik (Domestic Branch)	Section I
Navik (General Duty)	Section I + Section II
Yantrik (Electrical)	Section I + Technical Section
Yantrik (Electronics)	Section I + Technical Section
Yantrik (Mechanical)	Section I + Technical Section

The traditional CGEPT scheme specifies Section I as a 60-question, 60-mark paper of 45 minutes, while Section II and the technical sections contain 50 questions for 50 marks with 30 minutes allotted.

CGEPT Section I Exam Pattern

Section I is the common written section used for posts such as Navik (DB) and as the first section for Navik (GD) and Yantrik candidates.

Section I

Subject	Questions	Marks
Mathematics	20	20
Science	10	10
English	15	15
Reasoning	10	10
General Knowledge	5	5
Total	60	60

For Navik GD, candidates have to qualify Section I and Section II separately. Merely obtaining the combined qualifying score is not sufficient if a candidate fails one of the individual sections.

Navik (Domestic Branch) Exam Pattern

Navik DB candidates are required to appear for Section I.

Paper Structure

• Total Questions: 60
• Total Marks: 60
• Duration: 45 minutes

Electrical	Section III	50	50	30 minutes
Electronics	Section IV	50	50	30 minutes
Mechanical	Section V	50	50	30 minutes

The traditional qualifying mark for each technical section is:

• 20 marks: UR/EWS/OBC
• 17 marks: SC/ST

Candidates must qualify Section I as well as their respective technical section separately.

Is There Negative Marking in CGEPT?

Candidates should verify the marking scheme in the current batch’s official examination instructions before the examination.

The previous CGEPT examination scheme and recent examination references indicate that the objective written examination is conducted without negative marking.

Therefore, candidates should not automatically leave questions unanswered merely because they are uncertain. However, the latest official instructions should always prevail if the marking scheme is changed for a particular batch.

Indian Coast Guard CGEPT Syllabus

The syllabus depends on the post.

The major syllabus levels are:

• Section I: Class 10 level
• Section II: Class 12 Mathematics and Physics
• Yantrik technical sections: Diploma-level technical syllabus

This means that a Navik DB candidate does not need to prepare the same technical material as a Yantrik candidate, while a Navik GD candidate needs substantially deeper Mathematics and Physics preparation.

CGEPT Selection Process

The written examination is only the first major hurdle.

The Indian Coast Guard recruitment process involves multiple stages.

Stage I

Computer-Based Examination

Candidates appear for the applicable written examination based on their selected post.

The examination evaluates:

• General academic knowledge
• Mathematics
• Science
• English
• Reasoning
• General Knowledge
• Physics
• Technical knowledge, where applicable

Candidates who qualify the written examination and meet the prescribed merit requirements are shortlisted for the subsequent recruitment stage.

Stage II

Candidates shortlisted for Stage II undergo the prescribed recruitment assessments.

Depending on the recruitment notification and post, this stage can involve:

• Document verification
• Physical Fitness Test
• Assessment
• Medical examination
• Biometric verification

Candidates must bring the documents specified by the Indian Coast Guard.

Physical Fitness Test

Physical fitness is an important part of Coast Guard selection.

Candidates should start physical preparation well before the written examination.

The prescribed PFT requirements should always be checked in the latest batch notification because standards and instructions can change.

Typical preparation should include:

Running

Candidates should develop the ability to run continuously over the prescribed distance within the required time.

Squats

Regular bodyweight squats help candidates build lower-body strength and endurance.

Push-Ups

Candidates should progressively increase push-up repetitions while maintaining proper form.

Core Training

Planks, sit-ups and other core exercises can help improve overall physical performance.

Stage III

Candidates who qualify the earlier stages proceed to the prescribed final medical/selection stage.

The Indian Coast Guard conducts the required medical examination according to its service standards.

Medical fitness can include assessment of:

• Eyesight
• Hearing
• Height
• Weight
• Physical fitness
• Overall health
• Other service-specific requirements

Candidates should carefully read the medical standards applicable to their post.

Stage IV

The final stage involves the prescribed documentation and enrolment formalities.

Candidates must produce original documents as required by the Indian Coast Guard.

A candidate who fails to satisfy document, eligibility or medical requirements can lose candidature even after performing well in the written examination.

How to Prepare for Indian Coast Guard CGEPT

A successful CGEPT preparation strategy should balance written examination preparation and physical fitness.

Do not make the common mistake of preparing for the written test first and thinking about the PFT later.

90-Day CGEPT Preparation Strategy

Days 1–30: Build the Foundation

During the first month:

• Complete Class 10 Mathematics
• Revise basic Science
• Improve English grammar
• Start reasoning practice
• Read daily current affairs
• Begin physical training
• For Navik GD, start Class 12 Physics and Mathematics
• For Yantrik, revise diploma fundamentals

The objective should be understanding rather than speed.

Days 31–60: Increase Practice

During the second month:

• Solve topic-wise questions
• Start previous-year papers
• Practise Mathematics daily
• Complete important Physics chapters
• Revise technical subjects
• Take sectional tests
• Start full-length mock tests
• Increase running endurance
• Regularly practise push-ups and squats

Maintain a notebook for mistakes.

Every wrong answer should become a future correct answer.

Days 61–90: Mock-Test Phase

The final month should focus heavily on:

• Full-length mock tests
• Previous-year questions
• Revision
• Formula revision
• Current affairs
• Weak subjects
• Time management
• Physical fitness

Candidates should attempt mock tests under actual examination conditions.

Do not stop at checking the score.

Analyse:

• Which questions were wrong?
• Which questions took too long?
• Which topics repeatedly cause mistakes?
• Which questions were guessed?
• Which subjects have the lowest accuracy?

This analysis is where much of the score improvement happens.

Subject-Wise Preparation Strategy

Mathematics

Practise mathematics every day.

Focus on:

• Formula retention
• Calculation speed
• Percentage
• Ratio
• Algebra
• Geometry
• Mensuration
• Trigonometry

For Navik GD, move beyond basic arithmetic and devote significant time to Class 11/12 mathematics.

Science

Prepare Science from school textbooks first.

Focus on understanding basic concepts rather than memorising isolated facts.

English

Spend at least 20–30 minutes every day on:

• Grammar
• Vocabulary
• Reading comprehension
• Error detection

Reasoning

Reasoning improves through practice.

Solve questions involving:

• Series
• Analogy
• Coding-decoding
• Blood relations
• Directions
• Classification
• Logical reasoning

Track the time taken for each question type.

General Knowledge

Divide GK preparation into two parts:

Static GK + Current Affairs

Static GK should cover Indian history, geography, polity, economy, defence and general science.

Current affairs should focus on recent national and international developments.

Physics

Navik GD candidates should build Physics concepts chapter by chapter.

Do not rely entirely on memorisation.

Understand:

Concept → Formula → Application → Numerical

This is particularly important for mechanics, electricity, magnetism and modern physics.

Technical Subjects

Yantrik candidates should use their Diploma-level textbooks, class notes and previous technical questions as the foundation.

Technical preparation should not be mixed with generic reasoning-style preparation.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

1. Preparing for the wrong paper

A Navik DB candidate does not need the same preparation strategy as a Navik GD or Yantrik candidate.

Always identify your applicable sections first.

2. Ignoring Section-Wise Qualification

For posts requiring multiple sections, candidates must satisfy the prescribed qualifying requirement for the applicable sections.

3. Ignoring Current Affairs

General Knowledge may contain questions that require recent awareness.

4. Starting Physical Training Too Late

The PFT should be prepared alongside the written examination.

5. Solving Only Easy Questions

Mock tests should gradually become more challenging.

6. Not Analysing Mock Tests

Taking 30 mocks without analysing mistakes can be less useful than taking 15 mocks and thoroughly reviewing them.

7. Ignoring Medical Standards

A candidate can perform well in the written examination and still fail to qualify because of medical requirements.

CGEPT Exam Preparation: Daily Timetable

A candidate preparing full-time can use the following structure:

Activity	Suggested Time
Mathematics	1.5 hours
Science/Physics	1.5 hours
English	45 minutes
Reasoning	45 minutes
GK/Current Affairs	45 minutes
Technical subject, if Yantrik	1.5–2 hours
Mock/Previous Paper	1 hour
Physical Training	45–60 minutes

Candidates who are studying or working can reduce the duration while maintaining the same subject rotation.

Best Books and Resources for CGEPT Preparation

Candidates do not need a huge library.

A compact preparation set is generally more useful:

Mathematics

• NCERT Mathematics
• A standard competitive-examination mathematics book
• Previous CGEPT papers

Science

• NCERT Science
• Basic Physics/Chemistry/Biology notes

English

• High-school grammar book
• Vocabulary book
• Previous competitive-examination questions

Reasoning

• Standard verbal and non-verbal reasoning book
• Previous CGEPT questions

GK

• General knowledge reference book
• Current affairs notes
• Defence-related current affairs

Navik GD

• NCERT Class 11 and 12 Mathematics
• NCERT Class 11 and 12 Physics
• Previous CGEPT papers

Yantrik

• Diploma engineering textbooks
• Diploma notes
• Trade-specific objective questions
• Previous technical questions

CGEPT Previous Year Question Papers

Previous-year question papers are among the most useful resources for understanding the actual difficulty level.

Candidates should analyse previous papers for:

• Question difficulty
• Frequently tested chapters
• Calculation level
• English question types
• Reasoning patterns
• GK topics
• Physics concepts
• Technical topics

Instead of merely solving previous papers, maintain a topic-wise error notebook.

For example:

Topic	Questions Attempted	Wrong	Accuracy
Percentage	20	3	85%
Algebra	20	7	65%
Geometry	20	2	90%

This makes revision much more targeted.

CGEPT Exam Day Strategy

On examination day:

1. Reach the centre well before reporting time.
2. Carry the required admit card.
3. Carry the prescribed original identity document.
4. Follow the examination-centre instructions.
5. Read every question carefully.
6. Avoid spending excessive time on one question.
7. Attempt questions according to your strongest areas.
8. Keep track of the remaining time.
9. Follow the latest instructions regarding permitted items.

Candidates should not carry prohibited electronic devices or other restricted items into the examination centre.

Frequently Asked Questions

Final Words

The Indian Coast Guard CGEPT Exam Pattern and Syllabus should be understood before starting serious preparation because the examination is different for Navik DB, Navik GD and Yantrik candidates.

For Navik DB, the primary focus should be the Class 10-level Section I. Navik GD candidates need to prepare both the common section and the Class 12 Mathematics and Physics section. Yantrik candidates need to combine the common section with their diploma-level technical subject.

A practical preparation formula is:

Understand the syllabus → Build concepts → Practise topic-wise → Solve previous papers → Take mocks → Analyse mistakes → Revise → Prepare physically

Candidates should also regularly check the official Indian Coast Guard and Staff Selection Commission websites for examination notices, admit-card updates and any changes to the recruitment process. The SSC website currently lists the CGEPT-01/2027 and CGEPT-02/2027 notification on its notice board, while the Indian Coast Guard has directed candidates to SSC for registration.
