📘 The Ultimate Guide to Computer-Based Tests (CBT) for Government Exams

🧠 What is CBT? Overview & Benefits

A Computer-Based Test (CBT) is an online exam format where students appear for tests using a computer instead of the traditional pen-paper method. These tests are conducted in a secure computer lab, with questions shown on-screen and answers selected using a mouse or keyboard.

📌 Key Features:

• Questions appear one by one on the screen.

• Timer counts down remaining time.

• Students can navigate, skip, and review questions.

• Answers are submitted electronically.

💡 Benefits of CBT:

• ✅ No OMR sheets – just click to answer!

• ✅ Instant result processing (in some exams)

• ✅ Equal and fair exam environment for all

• ✅ Auto-saving of answers

• ✅ Reduces paperwork and manual errors

🏛️ How CBT is Changing Government Exams (RRB, SSC, etc.)

Today, most major government exams in India are being conducted in CBT mode, such as:

• RRB NTPC / Group D

• SSC CHSL / CGL / MTS / GD

• State Police Exams

• Railway ALP / Technician

• CUET / CET and more

🚀 This shift from traditional to digital exams is a game-changer!
But here’s the problem: many students are not familiar with computers and lose marks not because they didn’t know the answer—but because they didn’t know how to use the system properly.

That’s where StepUP Education comes in.
