The TG Police SI exam at a glance
The Telangana Police Sub-Inspector Preliminary Written Test is set by the Telangana State Level Police Recruitment Board (TSLPRB, www.tgprb.in). Its 2026 notification (29 July 2026, 275 SI and equivalent posts) sets one 3-hour paper of 200 objective questions for 200 marks: Arithmetic and Test of Reasoning / Mental Ability 100 and General Studies 100, including the Telangana Movement and State Formation. A wrong answer, or more than one bubble marked, costs 20% of the question's marks, and a blank scores zero. To qualify you need 30% (OC and EWS), 25% (BC) or 20% (SC, ST and Ex-Servicemen). Questions are set in English-Telugu and English-Urdu, with the English version final. The board has tentatively scheduled the SI test for 29 November 2026; qualifiers go on to the physical tests and a Final Written Examination of four papers.

How It Works
Drills by Subject
Nine drills cover the Preliminary Written Test syllabus: two in arithmetic, two in reasoning and mental ability, and one each for general science, history, geography, polity and economy, and the Telangana Movement. Questions you miss come back until you have mastered them.
Full Mock Tests
Two mock tests of 100 questions in 90 minutes, half the real paper at the same pace, split evenly between Arithmetic and Reasoning and General Studies. Move between questions and flag the ones to revisit. Practice Test 2 is held out of the drills, so it measures readiness.
Built on the TSLPRB Syllabus
The board's 2026 notification splits the 200-question paper into the two parts shown below, and every Tigertest mock keeps the same even split. General Studies here covers the syllabus's static areas: general science and the environment, history and the national movement, geography of India, polity and economy, and the Telangana Movement from 1948 to 2014. Current events, non-verbal figure items and visual memory are not modelled, nor are the physical tests and the Final Written Examination.

Share FeedbackHow to Prepare for the Telangana Police SI Exam
1. Know the Telangana Movement well
The syllabus names three phases: the idea of Telangana (1948 to 1970), the mobilisation phase (1971 to 1990) and the formation of the State (1991 to 2014). Learn the milestones in order: the Police Action, the Gentlemen's Agreement, the Mulki Rules, the 1969 agitation, the Six-Point Formula and Article 371D, G.O. 610, the Srikrishna Committee and the Andhra Pradesh Reorganisation Act, 2014. Then read the past year's news for current events, which this bank does not cover.
2. Make reasoning routine
Arithmetic and reasoning are half the paper. Series, analogies, coding-decoding, blood relations, directions, syllogisms and arrangements follow a few fixed patterns, so drill them until each takes well under a minute.
3. Learn the arithmetic shortcuts
Number system, percentages, profit and loss, interest, ratio, partnership, averages, time and work, work and wages, time and distance, clocks, calendars and mensuration are all named in the syllabus. Know conversions such as km/h to m/s (multiply by 5/18) and the formulas for compound interest and areas.
4. Know the cost of a wrong answer
The real paper gives you 200 questions in 3 hours, under a minute each, and a wrong answer costs a fifth of a mark. Because that penalty is small next to a full mark for a right answer, a question where you can rule out even one option is worth attempting. Take a full mock, see which part ate your time, and drill it.
Telangana Police SI Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Telangana Police SI Preliminary Written Test pattern?
The TSLPRB notification of 29 July 2026 sets one 3-hour paper of 200 objective questions for 200 marks: Arithmetic and Test of Reasoning / Mental Ability 100 and General Studies 100. Answers are marked on an OMR sheet. Tigertest's mock tests have 100 questions in 90 minutes, half the paper at the same pace, split 50 and 50 the same way.
Is there negative marking in the Telangana SI prelims?
Yes. For each question you get full marks for darkening the one right bubble and zero for leaving it blank; in every other case, a wrong bubble or more than one bubble, 20% of the question's marks is deducted. With four options a pure guess still gains a little on average (a quarter of a mark against three-quarters of a chance of losing a fifth), and ruling out even one option makes it clearly worth answering. Tigertest scores percent correct and does not deduct, so check how many marks your wrong answers would have cost.
What are the qualifying marks for the Preliminary Written Test?
The 2026 notification sets 30% for OCs (including EWS), 25% for BCs and 20% for SCs, STs and Ex-Servicemen. Only those who qualify go on to the Physical Measurement and Efficiency Tests and then the Final Written Examination of four papers, so aim well above the minimum.
When is the Telangana Police SI exam in 2026?
The board's press note of 17 September 2026 puts the SI Preliminary Written Test tentatively on 29 November 2026 (and the constable test on 20 December). Applications for the 2026 recruitment closed on 16 September 2026. Check www.tgprb.in for hall tickets and any change of date.
Is the Telangana SI exam in English or Telugu?
The notification says questions are set in English-Telugu and English-Urdu, and if a Telugu or Urdu version is unclear, the English version is final. Tigertest's questions are in English only, so they also help you read the English version quickly.
Are these previous year TSLPRB SI questions?
No. Every question is original, written to the syllabus in Annexure II of the notification, and none is copied from previous papers. General Studies covers static facts; current events of national and international importance, which the syllabus also lists, are not covered, so read the past year's news separately. It is free to start, with no account needed. Practice Test 1 and every drill but the last are free; the final drill and the final practice test are part of Tigertest Premium, one payment with no subscription.
I teach a Telangana Police SI coaching batch. Can my students use Tigertest?
Yes, for free. Make a class at tigertest.io/teach, post one link, and students join with just their name. You see who practiced, their test scores and the topics your class misses most.

- A.
16%
- B.
20%
- C.
25%
- D.
33%
Answer: B.Cost of one orange = 20 ÷ 6 = ₹10/3 and selling price = 16 ÷ 4 = ₹4. Gain = 4 - 10/3 = 2/3, and (2/3) ÷ (10/3) × 100 = 20%.

35 km/h
- B.
36 km/h
- C.
37.5 km/h
- D.
40 km/h
