Coast Guard Navik (GD) Mock Tests, Syllabus & Complete Exam Guide

The Indian Coast Guard Navik (General Duty) recruitment selects sailors for the Indian Coast Guard, an armed force of the Union under the Ministry of Defence that patrols India's maritime zones, carries out search and rescue at sea, protects the marine environment and enforces maritime law. Navik (GD) is the general-duty sailor entry, open to candidates who have passed 10+2 with Mathematics and Physics, which is why the written examination is pitched at the 10+2 level in these two subjects.

Selection runs in stages: a computer-based written examination (Stage I) covering 10+2 Maths and Physics along with English, Reasoning and General Knowledge; a Physical Fitness Test (Stage II) with running, squat ups and push ups; and a Medical Examination (Stage III), followed by document verification. Because the written stage sets the merit and the physical and medical stages are qualifying, strong, accurate performance in the written examination is what carries a candidate forward.

The written examination rewards a firm grip on 10+2 Mathematics and Physics, so build accuracy in algebra, trigonometry, calculus and coordinate geometry, and in mechanics, electricity, heat, optics and waves. These two subjects reward practice more than memorisation — work through problems until the standard question types are quick and automatic. English and Reasoning add reliable marks with basic grammar, vocabulary, analogy, series and coding-decoding.

General Knowledge is high-return and stable: learn static GK, Indian defence and Coast Guard facts, geography and current affairs a little at a time. Take full-length timed mocks to build speed and section balance, and review the worked solution for every question you miss. After the written stage, a steady running and fitness routine turns the Physical Fitness Test into a formality rather than a fresh hurdle.
