The SSC CGL Exam is conducted by the STAFF SELECTION COMMISSION in 4 Tiers and the SSC CGL Exam Tier 3 is a descriptive paper. All entrants who have qualified in Tier 1 and 2 can appear for the SSC CGL tier 3 exam. We will have a look into the Tier 3 exam here, however, it is important to first qualify in Tier 1 and 2 exams. Check the SSC CGL Syllabus and SSC CGL Exam Pattern for all the tiers of the SSC CGL exam to ensure you are prepared for other Tiers as well. As we already discussed Tier 3 of SSC CGL is a descriptive exam, entrants may have to write essays, precis, letters, etc. The language in which the SSC CGL Tier 3 Descriptive Paper is written, is either English or Hindi. Entrants must read newspapers and magazines to be aware of various topics on which they may have to write.

The emphasis is generally on politics and Government policies, however, there are other equally important topics that can help entrants to fetch good marks. This is also important to know the correct letter and essay writing pattern. Letters’ wrong pattern will not fetch good marks. So let’s have a look at the correct pattern of Essay and Letter writing before we jump into the topics:

SSC CGL Tier 3 Descriptive Paper- Essay Writing Guide:

The essay should be a description of the topic you intend to write. The essay should talk about the details of the topic. Entrants should make the essay an informative one rather than too descriptive. Too much description also may lead to exceeding of word limit. The essay should be broken into three parts. The introduction, the body and the conclusion. The introduction should be an overview of the topic you want to write about. The main body will be the paragraph consisting of maximum info and its description. If you are covering more than one topic in your essay make sure you make separate paragraphs for each topic. The conclusion should have a satisfactory ending or resolution if you are talking about an issue. The conclusion must do paraphrase of the topics you have covered in your essay.

SSC CGL Tier 3 Descriptive Paper – Letter Writing Guide:

The key to writing letters correctly is to write them in the right format. There could be complaint letters or normal official letters. The format and addressing should be right. Let’s have a look at what are the things that should be part of official or formal letter writing:

  • On the left side, top first write to whom you want to address the letter.
  • Underneath that write the full physical address of the office or venue where the letter should be delivered.
  • Mention the full name of the recipient and landmark. Mention if there is any contact number.
  • On the write site top mention the date of writing the letter.
  • Mention the subject of the letter.
  • Greet the official or person in authority correctly.
  • Introduce yourself, in 1st one or two lines.
  • Write the details of the issue or subject for which you are writing a letter.
  • Give all relevant info keeping in mind the word limit.
  • Write to the point lines.
  • The last paragraph should describe your expectation for writing the letter.
  • End your letter with the correct closing statement, for example, yours faithfully, yours sincerely or convey your regards and your signature.
  • If you are writing an informal letter addressing your friend or relative you may omit writing subject it the beginning of the letter.
  • You may address them accordingly as well.

ssc cgl descriptive exam essay writing

Most students go for the Descriptive Paper for Tier 3 unprepared. And here is where the essay writing goes all wrong and they are not able to qualify it. Tier II and III play a decisive role in cracking SSC CGL in achieving your dream role. Hence, only those candidates who are securing at least the minimum qualifying marks in the written examination are eligible to appear in the Skill Test.

SSC CGL Descriptive Paper for Tier 3

The interview or the personality test has been replaced by the descriptive exam. It aims to test the aspirant’s proficiency in the language. This offline, pen and paper based exam aims to test on how a student formulates his or her ideas to form firm arguments and opinions on a certain topic. This essay writing carries the maximum weightage of around 40-60 marks.

The descriptive paper evaluates a student’s writing or communication skills. It determines how effectively a candidate conveys his or her ideas in a precise manner.

To qualify Tier III a candidate needs to score at least 33 marks. But without a proper strategy for essay writing, you could ruin your exam.

Essay Writing

Candidates often are in a dilemma while giving an informational and impressive touch to their essay in the exam. They stuck in a situation when they instantly try to represent all the related ideas that pop up into their mind. There is a set format that is required for the exam. It should be a composition that is summarized after drawing keywords and information regarding the given topic.

For instance, you need to cover topics like Demonetization, Caste Based Reservation in India, Climate Catastrophe, Social Media etc. and all the Current affairs based trending topics like the Doklam Issue, Bullet Train, or the Challenges After GST Implementation etc.

Practicing essay writing having a word limit is 250 words will not only boost your confidence but also makes you abound in words.

Prepare tips for the Essay Writing

  • Read newspapers, articles, and magazines related to political issues. This would significantly increase your vocabulary and teaches your mind to form concrete ideas quickly. A good reading habit always improves writing skills.
  • Hindi medium students should go for newspapers like Hindustan or Dainik Jagran and English medium students must read The Hindu, The Indian Express, Economic Times, etc.
  • Reading editorials will teach you to get ideas and how to approach an essay.
  • Read a good essay book, especially which is designed for this exam.

Tips for a better Performance in the Exam

  • You need to be neat in your presentation or avoid cutting or overwriting. Your handwriting must be readable. If the marks allotter doesn’t know what you’ve written he would hardly allow you the marks.
  • While writing the descriptive paper you need to avoid grammatical errors. Reading books like Wren and Martin can supply you with basic grammar rules. You can also go for books like Word Power Made Easy by Norman Lewis.
  • If vocabulary is not very good, use simple words and phrases to properly explain your ideas. Pay heed to grammar and see that your language is correct.
  • Don’t mention a quote by any famous personality to validate your points or point of view, if you don’t remember it properly. Also, use relevant examples.
  • Practice is the key to your success. It will give you a control over the language, but also allow you to form comprehensive ideas. Follow some of these instructions to bring efficiency to your writing skills. For the sake of practice, select topics of your choice and write them with a limited time frame.

Two Points to keep in Mind

  • You need to prepare an outline or diagram of your ideas, the body, and the introduction. W
  • Write the conclusion and add the finishing touches.

A candidate would not be allowed to write any of details in the inner pages. He/she would not have to write the essay on a plain paper.  Instead, the boxes will be provided. He/ she will be needed to fill the boxes with each of a single word forming the essay.

Note: Put in the Name, Roll No. Ticket No. and Signature in the required boxes. 250 words are the most accepted limit in an essay writing.

SSC CGL Tier III will be a descriptive paper that will put your writing skills to the test. Here are some helpful hints for preparing for the writing the Important Essay Topics For SSC CGL Exam in Round 3:

1. There will be no overwriting

The most important factor to remember when taking the SSC CGL Tier III exam is to avoid overwriting at all costs. This means that you must write the essay within the word limit specified. Exceeding the word limit set by the SSC can result in a significant loss of marks. As a result, it is advised that you keep your essay crisp, clear, and brief, keeping the word limit in mind. 

2. Essay Sentence Structures

Never write long, complex sentences. This may cause the sentence’s main point to be lost. Try expressing yourself by writing short, crisp sentences. Simpler sentences are more appealing and leave a positive impression.

3. Essay Organization

The essay’s introduction should be extremely eye-catching. It should begin with a detailed discussion of the topic’s various components and aspects, and it should end with an authentic and balanced conclusion.

4. Consistent Writing Practice

Remember that only practice will lead to perfection. So, begin writing more frequently and consistently. Regular practice will help you improve your writing skills.

5. Application of Phrasal Verbs and Idioms.

Candidates must use a catchy quote/phrase at the beginning and end of their essay. This will make your essay stand out and will undoubtedly earn you some extra points.

6. Choose a Neutral Tone

Candidates must be as impartial as possible, refraining from expressing personal opinions or favouring one party over another.

7. Use of Plain and Simple Language

A good essay does not always necessitate the use of extensive English vocabulary. Candidates must use simple and clear language so that the points that they make are understood.
