CG ADPO 2026 Answer Key (Set A): Answer Key, Exam Analysis and Expected Score

The CG ADPO 2026 examination has concluded, and candidates who appeared for Set A (Paper Code 260301) can now check the answer key and analyse their performance.

The paper consisted of 150 questions, covering General Knowledge and Law. The answer key has been prepared after solving the questions and checking the law-related answers against the relevant bare Acts.

CG ADPO 2026 Exam Analysis

The paper can broadly be divided into two sections:

1. General Knowledge – Questions 1 to 50

The GK section was relatively challenging, with several questions requiring precise factual knowledge rather than broad conceptual understanding.

Important areas included:

• Chhattisgarh’s share of manufacturing in the 2025–26 advance estimates
• Chhattisgarh’s share of national mineral production
• Udyam registration figures for micro industries
• Recorded Forest Area
• Chhattisgarh history
• Kandel Canal Satyagraha
• Bairagi rulers of princely states
• 1857 revolt in Sonakhan
• General knowledge-based questions such as the inventor of handball

The paper therefore placed considerable emphasis on Chhattisgarh-specific current affairs, economy, history and factual data.

2. Law – Questions 51 to 150

The Law section was more closely connected with the bare Acts, particularly the recently introduced criminal laws.

Major areas included:

• BNSS Section 105 – Audio-video recording of searches
• BNSS Section 230 – 14-day deadline for supplying documents
• BNSS Section 176(3) – Forensic investigation provisions for specified offences
• BSA Section 57 – Electronic primary evidence
• Chhattisgarh Ragging Act
• Tonhi Pratadna Nivaran Act
• Chhattisgarh Excise Act, 1915
• Vishesh Jan Suraksha Adhiniyam
• Chhattisgarh High Court Rules

The analysis indicates that candidates who had studied the bare Acts carefully could benefit from the Law section.

CG ADPO 2026 Answer Key: Questions That May Be Challenged

Three questions have been specifically identified for possible challenge:

Q22

The source notes that none of the options appears to match the current MSME Udyam dashboard figure for Chhattisgarh.

Q109

Chapter IV of the Protection of Human Rights Act, 1993 is titled “Procedure”, while none of the four options reportedly matches it.

Q2

Both options A and D are considered arguable.

Candidates should wait for the Commission’s provisional/final key and, where applicable, submit objections with supporting bare-act sections or official sources within the prescribed window.

Five Questions That Caught Candidates Off Guard

Q119: Food Sample Division

The question asked how many parts a food sample is divided into. The source identifies the answer as four, based on Section 47(1)(b) of the FSSA.

Q129: Economic Offence under BNS

Explanation (iii) of BNS Section 111 defines “economic offence.” Explanation (ii), in contrast, deals with “continuing unlawful activity.”

Q85: Certified Copies

The source identifies BSA Section 76 for proof of documents by certified copies, while Section 75 concerns issuing certified copies.

Q120: BSA Section Pairing

The correct pairing identified in the source is “questions lawful in cross-examination – Section 149.”

Q26: Mahmud Ghazni’s Invasions

The source notes that Narayanpur (1009) preceded Thaneshwar (1014), making the chronology an easy place for confusion.

How to Calculate Your CG ADPO 2026 Score

According to the source:

• Total questions: 150
• Marks per question: 2
• Maximum marks: 300

Candidates can calculate their estimated score by counting the correct answers and multiplying them by two. However, the official examination instructions should be checked for the applicable negative-marking rules before calculating the final score. Challenged questions should also be kept separate until the final answer key is released.

Score Formula

Estimated Score = Correct Answers × 2

The final score should be calculated only after considering the official answer key, objections and applicable marking rules.

CG ADPO 2026 Selection Process: What Comes Next?

The uploaded analysis states that CG ADPO has no Mains stage. After the written examination, candidates proceed to an interview carrying 30 marks, with the final merit list based on the written and interview scores. The source also notes that there are 15 posts.

• Conducting criminal trials

• Duties of a prosecutor

Revise the New Criminal Laws

Prepare the transition and important provisions of:
