Sample NIELIT CCC Practice Questions

Try these sample questions to review concepts for the NIELIT CCC exam. Each question includes a detailed explanation. Start the interactive quiz above for the full 100+ question experience with AI tutoring.

1Which of the following is an input device?

A.Keyboard

B.Monitor

C.Speaker

D.Printer

Explanation: A keyboard sends data into the computer, so it is an input device. Monitors, speakers, and printers primarily present output to the user.

2RAM is best described as:

A.Permanent non-volatile storage

B.Volatile temporary working memory

C.Only used for printing

D.An optical disc format

Explanation: RAM (Random Access Memory) holds programs and data currently in use and loses its contents when power is removed, so it is volatile temporary working memory.

3Which unit is commonly used to measure CPU clock speed?

A.DPI

B.ppm

C.GHz

D.lux

Explanation: CPU clock speed is measured in hertz units such as MHz or GHz (gigahertz). DPI is print/screen resolution, ppm is pages per minute, and lux measures illuminance.

4Which of the following is an example of system software?

A.LibreOffice Writer

B.Web browser

C.Media player

D.Operating system

Explanation: An operating system manages hardware and provides services for applications, so it is system software. Writer, browsers, and media players are application software.

51 gigabyte (GB) is equal to:

A.1024 megabytes

B.1024 bytes

C.1024 kilobytes

D.1000 bits

Explanation: In binary storage notation commonly taught in CCC, 1 GB = 1024 MB, 1 MB = 1024 KB, and 1 KB = 1024 bytes.

6Which device is primarily used for long-term secondary storage?

A.CPU registers

B.Hard disk drive (HDD)

C.Cache memory

D.ALU

Explanation: Hard disk drives (and SSDs) provide large-capacity secondary storage that retains data without continuous power. Registers, cache, and the ALU are CPU components for processing, not bulk long-term storage.

7Binary number 1010 in decimal is:

A.8

B.9

C.10

D.12

Explanation: 1010₂ = 1×8 + 0×4 + 1×2 + 0×1 = 8 + 2 = 10 in decimal.

8Which generation of computers is associated with microprocessors?

A.First generation

B.Second generation

C.Third generation

D.Fourth generation

Explanation: Fourth-generation computers are characterized by microprocessors integrating CPU functions on a chip. Earlier generations used vacuum tubes, transistors, and ICs respectively.

9In digital computing, a bit is:

A.The smallest unit of data (0 or 1)

B.Eight bytes

C.Always equal to one character

D.A type of printer

Explanation: A bit (binary digit) is the smallest unit of digital data and takes the value 0 or 1. Eight bits make one byte; a character usually maps to one or more bytes depending on encoding.

10Which statement about ROM is correct?

A.It loses all contents every time the PC restarts

B.It is normally used to store firmware that is retained without power

C.It is identical to USB flash drives in purpose

D.It is only found in printers

Explanation: ROM (Read-Only Memory) typically stores firmware/boot instructions and is non-volatile. RAM loses contents on power loss; USB flash is rewritable secondary storage.

NIELIT CCC: Suggested Study Strategy

1Practice LibreOffice Writer, Calc, and Impress hands-on—many candidates lose marks by preparing only on MS Office.

2Memorize high-frequency facts: .odt/.ods/.odp extensions, SUM/AVERAGE, email CC vs BCC, UPI/BHIM, phishing vs ransomware.

3Because there is no negative marking, attempt all 100 questions; still aim for 65–70+ if recruitments ask for grade B.

4Use timed 90-minute full mocks after chapter-wise drills covering Internet, DigiLocker/UMANG, and digital payments.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the NIELIT CCC exam pattern?

CCC is an online CBT with 100 objective questions for 100 marks in 90 minutes. There is no negative marking. You need at least 50 marks to pass. Certificates show letter grades S/A/B/C/D/F based on score bands.

Is CCC based on MS Office or LibreOffice?

Current NIELIT CCC materials and many recent papers use LibreOffice (Writer, Calc, Impress) as the reference office suite. Prepare on LibreOffice menus, shortcuts, and OpenDocument formats (.odt/.ods/.odp), not only Microsoft Office.

Where do I register for CCC and what is the fee?

Direct candidates register on https://student.nielit.gov.in. NIELIT’s Digital Literacy Courses fee table lists the CCC Examination and Certification fee as ₹500; always confirm the live fee, any GST, and session dates on the student portal before payment. Accredited institutes may charge separate course/training fees.

Does the CCC certificate expire?

NIELIT CCC is widely treated as a lifetime certificate once issued (unlike some state computer tests with fixed validity). Always download/verify your certificate from NIELIT’s certificate services and check any job notification for grade requirements.
