SOF IGKO — Frequently asked questions

Is Shishya free for SOF IGKO preparation?
Yes. Every SOF IGKO mock test, PYQ-pattern paper and study tool on Shishya is completely free — no subscription and no credit card. Questions are written with AI to follow each exam's syllabus topics on Shishya, and re-checked whenever a student reports one.
How many SOF IGKO practice questions does Shishya have?
Shishya has 190 SOF IGKO practice questions, written with AI.

Are SOF IGKO previous year question papers available?
Shishya has free SOF IGKO previous year paper practice: PYQ-pattern papers covering 2021–2025 (5 years) — questions freshly worded in the pattern of each year's paper, not the paper itself; each year's page shows how many questions it holds against the real paper's count. Each is a timed practice set with full solutions.

Cutoffs change every cycle with paper difficulty and vacancies. Shishya maintains indicative score-to-rank bands and category-wise (General/EWS/OBC/SC/ST) expected cutoffs — not official figures — at https://shishya.in/exams/SOF_IGKO/cutoff
