Strategy to Qualify
Prioritize by weightage — Computers (30) and the three 24-mark sections should get the most study time; Quant (18) is smallest but often quickest to score if fundamentals are solid.
J&K-specific GK is non-negotiable — Focus hard on J&K History, Geography, the Reorganization Act 2019, and centrally sponsored schemes (MGNREGA, PMAY, SBM). This is a common weak spot for outside candidates and a common scoring area for local ones.
English — Drill error spotting, sentence correction, and fill-in-the-blanks daily; these are fast, high-accuracy question types under time pressure.
Reasoning — Practice figural/symbolic sections (Venn diagrams, folding, classification) separately from verbal reasoning, since they need different skills.
Quant — Master basics (percentages, ratio, time & work, mensuration) before geometry/trigonometry — basics carry more marks in this weightage.
Computers — Since it's the highest-weighted section, go beyond definitions: know MS Office practical use, hardware/software distinctions, and IT-in-governance examples.
Timed mock tests — With 120 marks in 2 hours, speed matters. Simulate full-length tests weekly to build pacing (roughly 1 minute/question).
Revise, don't just read — Make short notes for GK/Computers (easy to forget) and do repeated practice sets for English/Reasoning/Quant (skill-based, needs repetition).
