Learner's licence test — questions people actually ask

How many questions are in the learner's licence test, and how many do I need right to pass?

The Telangana Transport Department states the computerised LL test gives you about 20 questions drawn at random, in 10 minutes, and you must answer 12 of them correctly to pass. That is the 60% rule, and Delhi's Transport Department words it the same way: "whoever correctly answers sixty percent questions put to him is declared pass". The count itself is set by each state RTO and ranges from 10 to 20, so treat 20/12 as the strictest common case — if you can clear that, you clear the shorter versions too.

Where do these questions come from?

All 431 of them come from STALL_QB_ENGLISH_NEW.pdf, the learner's licence question bank published by the Ministry of Road Transport & Highways on parivahan.gov.in. Nothing here is rewritten or invented: the question wording, the three options, the answer key and the 95 road-sign images are reproduced exactly as the Ministry published them. Several states — Delhi, Rajasthan, Telangana — publish their own bank derived from the same central file.

What age do I need to be, and how long is a learner's licence valid?

Under the Motor Vehicles Act 1988, you must have completed 18 years to apply for a learner's licence for a car or a geared motorcycle. Section 4 allows 16-year-olds to get one for a motorcycle without gears up to 50cc, with a parent's or guardian's consent. A learner's licence is valid for six months from the date of issue, which is the window you have to pass the driving test and convert it.

What is actually tested?

Rule 11 of the Central Motor Vehicles Rules 1989 sets the syllabus: traffic signs, traffic signals and the rules of the road. In the official bank that works out as road signs and markings, speed limits and overtaking, junctions and right of way, parking, signals and horn use, sharing the road with pedestrians and cyclists, vehicle and load rules, licensing and legal duties, and what to do at the scene of an accident. Before the written test the RTO also checks colour blindness and limb movement.

What happens if I fail?

You can take the test again — Delhi lists a learner's licence retest fee of ₹50. Practise mode here keeps every question you got wrong in a wrong-answer book with a per-topic breakdown, so you can go back to the two or three areas that are actually costing you marks instead of re-reading all 431 questions.

Is this the same test in every state?

The syllabus and the 60% pass rule are national, set by the Motor Vehicles Act and the Central Motor Vehicles Rules. What varies by state is the number of questions, the exact time allowed, and whether your RTO adds regional-language versions. This bank is the central English one, so it is the common core wherever you apply.
