Exam Pattern
The phase 1 or the preliminary examination is qualifying in nature as the marks scored in this phase will not be counted in the final merit. A total of 100 questions will be asked from four subjects for which a duration of an hour will be given to the candidates. The detailed structure of the test is given in the table below.
| Subject | No. of Questions | Maximum Marks |
| General Intelligence and Reasoning | 25 | 50 |
| General Awareness | 25 | 50 |
| Quantitative Aptitude | 25 | 50 |
| English Comprehension | 25 | 50 |
| TOTAL | 100 | 200 |
Candidates must note that for every incorrect answer, one-fourth of the marks assigned to that question will be deducted. For phase 2, candidates will be shortlisted in the ratio of 1:10, i.e. 10 times the number of vacancies in each category as per their performance in the preliminary exam.
Previous Year Cut-off
ESIC has fixed minimum qualifying marks for each category. Candidates who will secure the minimum qualifying marks in phase 1 or the preliminary exam will be shortlisted for phase 2. Here are the category-wise minimum qualifying marks.
| Category | Minimum Qualifying Marks |
| UR | 45% |
| OBC/EWS | 40% |
| SC, ST and Ex-Servicemen | 35% |
| PWD | 30% |
However, the previous year cut-off marks can give some idea about the expected cut-off for 2022. As per sources, the previous year’s ESIC MTS cut-off marks are as follows.
| Category | Cut-off |
| UR | 119.25 |
| OBC | 104.25 |
| SC | 111.50 |
| ST | 70 |
| Ex-Servicemen | 39 |
| Visually Impaired | 56.25 |
| Orthopedically Challenged | 99.75 |
| Hearing Impaired | 80.50 |
This time, the expected cut-off marks for the UR category are likely to remain within 120-123. For the OBC category, it will be 104-107, SC – 112-115, ST – 70-75. The main examination will be held in an objective-type test format. A total of 200 questions will be asked for which candidates will be given a duration of 2 hours. The subjects, however, will remain the same as that of the preliminary exam.
