Sarkari Parcha is an exam preparation platform. We are not linked to SSC, RRB, IBPS, UPSC or any Public Service Commission. Always apply only on the official website. Looking for NEET, JEE or CUET? See Entrance exams.
Where these facts come from
official notices and exam calendars are linked from these pages. We do not copy dates from other job sites.
When a commission gives only a month, we show the month and mark it tentative. We never guess a day.
When nothing is announced, the exam says so. It stays listed so you can open its page and see the last cycle.
Questions about exam categories
Which government exam categories are on Sarkari Parcha?
Eight: SSC, Railways, Banking, UPSC, State PSC, Defence, Police and Teaching. Each category is run by a different recruiting body, with its own notice, pattern and calendar.
What is the difference between SSC and UPSC?
SSC recruits for Group B and C posts in central ministries and forces. UPSC conducts the Civil Services and other Group A exams. Both are central, but the posts and the papers are different.
What is a State PSC?
Each state has a Public Service Commission that recruits for that state’s own services, such as SDM and DSP. Age relaxation is mainly for that state’s residents. SSC posts, by contrast, are all-India.
How do I pick a category?
Start with who you want to work for: a central ministry (SSC), Indian Railways, a public sector bank, the civil services (UPSC or your State PSC), the armed forces, the police, or a school. The filter on this page narrows every category to the exams you can apply for, and Compare exams puts any three side by side.
How do I know which exam forms are open?
The exam calendar lists forms open today, exams in progress and steps that just finished, and each category here shows its next dated step. Every date comes from the official notice or calendar, or from the exam’s page on this site.
Where do I apply?
Only on the commission’s own site, linked from each category. Sarkari Parcha is for preparation: previous year papers and practice. We do not take applications.
Are the previous year papers free?
Yes. Every previous year paper on Sarkari Parcha is free to attempt, with your score as soon as you submit.
