What is the capital of Mizoram?

The correct answer is Aizawl, the capital of Mizoram. Aizawl serves as the administrative and legislative headquarters of Mizoram, housing the state secretariat, the Legislative Assembly, and the offices of the Governor and Chief Minister. Notably, Aizawl is built along a ridge at an average elevation of over 1,100 metres, and Mizoram has one of the highest literacy rates among Indian states. The other options given in this Mizoram question are capitals of different Indian states, and candidates often confuse them because Static GK questions on state capitals are frequently tested together in a single set. Kohima is the capital of Nagaland, not Mizoram. Kolkata is the capital of West Bengal, not Mizoram. Chandigarh is the capital of Punjab and Haryana, not Mizoram. None of these cities administers Mizoram; only Aizawl holds that constitutional status. Competitive exams such as SSC CGL, SSC CHSL, State PSC, and Railway exams often feature a Mizoram question like this one on Aizawl, which shows why questions on Indian state capitals are considered high-scoring, since they test direct factual recall rather than complex reasoning. Remember Aizawl as the capital of Mizoram, and clearly distinguish it from the distractor capitals used here — Kohima, Kolkata, Chandigarh — to avoid marking the wrong answer under exam-time pressure.
