What do the TIFR GS sample papers contain?
The sample papers are short. They show the question style rather than a full-length test.
- Physics: the syllabus areas and a set of sample multiple-choice questions.
- Chemistry: a one-page syllabus with sample questions, and a reminder that wrong answers carry negative marks.
- Mathematics: the two-stage selection process, the Stage I syllabus and sample multiple-choice and true/false questions.
- Computer & Systems Sciences: the test instructions and sample questions for both parts.
Some rules have changed since GS-2023. Then you could attempt only one of the Computer Science and Systems Science parts; now Systems Science is called LIDS and you may attempt both. Check the latest rules on the TIFR GS 2027 syllabus page.
How should I use the TIFR GS sample papers?
- Read the syllabus part of the PDF and mark the topics you have not studied.
- Solve the sample questions without a calculator in the Mathematics and Computer Science papers, as in the real test.
- Check which questions you got wrong and revise those topics from your BSc or MSc textbooks.
- Move on to full past papers in 3-hour sittings.
- Take TIFR’s official mock test to practise the online screen.
