TSLPRB TGRTC MST Exam Analysis – 29 March 2026 (My Analysis & Expected Cutoff)

 Introduction

The Telangana State Level Police Recruitment Board conducted the TGRTC MST exam on 29 March 2026 in the afternoon session from 2:30 PM to 5:30 PM. As per the official information available, around 4,817 candidates appeared for this session.

In this post, I am sharing my personal analysis of the exam, based on my understanding of the question paper and feedback collected from candidates who attended the exam. This is not an official report, but a practical observation that may help you understand the difficulty level, competition, and expected cutoff trends.

Overall Difficulty – As Per My Analysis

As per my analysis, the overall paper can be categorised as moderate.

Now, when I say moderate, I don’t mean that the questions were very difficult or conceptually complex. In fact, most of the questions were quite basic, standard, and familiar to candidates who have prepared well.

However, the main issue in this paper was time consumption.

Many questions, especially in certain sections, required more time to:

• Read carefully
• Understand properly
• Solve step-by-step

So even though the questions were easy in nature, they were not something that could be answered instantly. Candidates had to spend a bit more time on each question, which created pressure during the exam.

Because of this, many candidates might have felt that the paper was slightly lengthy. So overall, I would clearly say:

The paper was moderate mainly because it was time-consuming, not because it was tough.

Section-wise Analysis (My View)

Supervisor Aptitude

Coming to Supervisor Aptitude, in my view, this section was moderate.

The questions in this section required:

• Logical thinking
• Step-by-step problem-solving
• Careful reading and interpretation

Even though the concepts were not very difficult, the time required to solve each question was comparatively higher. Many candidates might have spent more time in this section than expected.

Some questions needed a proper understanding before solving, which slowed down the overall speed. Because of this, candidates who were not careful with time management may have faced difficulty completing the paper.

So I feel this section was slightly time-consuming, and it played an important role in affecting the total attempt.

Engineering Aptitude

Now, coming to Engineering Aptitude.

As per my analysis, this section was easy.

Most of the questions were:

• Based on basic concepts
• Straightforward in nature
• Not lengthy or complicated

There were no highly advanced or tricky questions. Candidates who have a clear understanding of fundamentals could answer most of the questions without much difficulty.

In my opinion, this section would have been a major scoring area for many candidates. Those who prepared the basics properly could gain good marks here with less time.

Numerical Aptitude

Numerical Aptitude was also easy, as per my observation.

The questions were:

• Standard in nature
• Mostly formula-based
• Simple to calculate

There were no complicated or tricky problems. Candidates with regular practice in arithmetic and quantitative aptitude could solve these questions quickly.

This section was definitely one of the most scoring sections in the entire paper, and it also helped in saving time for other sections.

English

Coming to English, it was easy.

The questions included:

• Basic grammar
• Simple comprehension
• Common usage questions

There was no difficult vocabulary or lengthy passages. Even candidates with average preparation in English could attempt most of the questions without much trouble.

This section was straightforward and did not consume much time.

General Knowledge (GK)

The GK section was also easy.

• Questions were from general topics
• Mostly standard and expected areas
• No confusing or unexpected questions

Candidates who have basic awareness of general knowledge could answer these questions comfortably. This section was also less time-consuming compared to others.

One Important Observation

One important thing I want to share based on my analysis…

Even though most sections were easy, the real challenge in this paper was time management.

Many candidates may have started the exam confidently because the questions looked easy. But as the exam progressed, they might have realised that they were spending more time on each question.

If a candidate spent too much time on Supervisor Aptitude or any single section, it would become difficult to complete the entire paper.

So I strongly feel that candidates who:

• Maintained a good speed
• Avoided spending too much time on one question
• Attempted easier questions first
• Balanced all sections properly

…would have performed better in this exam.

Time management, along with accuracy, was the key deciding factor in this paper.

Competition Level

As per the data shared by the Telangana State Level Police Recruitment Board, around 4,817 candidates appeared for the exam.

As per my understanding, this number indicates a moderate level of competition.

It is not extremely high compared to large-scale competitive exams, but still, the competition cannot be taken lightly.

One important factor here is that the paper had multiple easy and scoring sections, which means many candidates might have scored well. Because of this, even a small difference in marks can affect the final ranking.

So the competition is not just about the number of candidates, but also about how well candidates performed in scoring sections.

Expected Cutoff Marks – As Per My Analysis

Now coming to the expected cutoff marks…

Based on:

• Difficulty level of the paper
• Number of candidates who appeared
• Overall nature of questions
• Feedback from candidates

I am estimating the cutoff range as follows:

• OC (Open Category): 120 – 130
• BC (Backwards Classes): 100 – 115
• SC (Scheduled Castes): 90 – 100
• ST (Scheduled Tribes): 80 – 90

Important Note

I want to clearly mention one thing…

These cutoff marks are not official. These are purely based on my personal analysis and understanding of the exam pattern.

So please:

 1. Do not take these numbers as final

2. Just consider them as a reference for understanding the trend

The actual cutoff may vary depending on:

• Overall performance of candidates
• Final evaluation process
• Category-wise vacancies
• Any normalisation (if applied)

So there may be slight variations in the final result.

Conclusion

Finally, as per my overall analysis:

• The paper was moderate in difficulty
• The difficulty was not great, but time consumption was the main challenge
• The engineering and Numerical sections were easy and scoring
• English and GK were also easy and manageable
• Supervisor Aptitude required more time and attention

Candidates who managed their time properly and maintained good accuracy are likely to get a decent score.

Overall, this was a well-balanced paper where success depended more on time management and smart attempts rather than just knowledge.
