Overview
CWC 2026 in one table
CWC runs scientific storage for food grains and other notified commodities across India, plus logistics infrastructure - Container Freight Stations, Inland Container Depots, Land Customs Stations and air cargo complexes. That is why its technical posts lean so heavily on grain storage, fumigation and pest control.

Pass marks that can sink you
Professional / Subject Knowledge and the Descriptive Test each need 40% (UR) or 35% (OBC, EWS, SC, ST, PwBD, Ex-Servicemen). Every section also has a cut-off, then the total.
The descriptive test
2 questions, 30 marks, 30 minutes, in English - “Language & Comprehension Abilities”. It needs its own pass mark, so practise writing to time.
Scores are equated
If the exam runs in several sessions, scores are normalised by the equi-percentile method and reported to two decimals.

Negative marking: ¼ off per wrong answer
The 200 objective questions carry 1 mark each. Slide to see what wrong answers cost you. Blank answers cost nothing.
Syllabus
Professional knowledge syllabus
CWC calls this a broad, indicative syllabus that may change slightly in the exam. AM (General) and JE (General) have no professional paper - their exam is reasoning, quant, English, general awareness and the descriptive test.
