How to Prepare a Study Plan for Government Exams?

The plan is a must to achieve anything. Things will go in a bizzare way if you do not plan. So a Study Plan is also required to succeed for Government Job. The plan always does not go as planned in execution. Analyze where the plan failed and revise the plan once a month.

How Much Can You Study in a Year?

The plan is divided into 3 parts of a year. Each part has 4 months duration (about 121.5 days). Each part is considered to have only 100 days of study to account for after discounting 21.5 days for unexpected emergencies, depression, entertainment.

You have about 300 days to study in a year. If you can study 10 hours per day, then you can study for 3,000 hours. That means you can read 30,000 pages assuming you can read 10 pages per hour. This is more than enough to crack any government job.

If you can study only 5 hours per day, then you can study 1500 hours per year. That implies you can read 15,000 pages. This is also sufficient to crack any government job. However, you need to study with more concentration and pick only a limited set of books.

First Part of Your Time: Foundation: 100 Days

1) Start listening to All India Radio News and spotlight from 9 PM to 9:30 PM. This gives an overview of what’s happening around you.

2) Start reading NCERT/SCERT Books. These are available online to download in PDF and textbook format. Since you have sufficient time, it is better to make revision notes. Then you no need to read NCERT/SCERT books again. This saves a lot of time in the future.

Second Part of Your Time: Standardisation: 100 Days

1) Start reading Hindu or any other relevant paper. You can skip politics and other unimportant news.

2) Read Standard Books as specified on our website. Try to make notes for revision. If you are unable to make notes, then at least highlight the important points so that you can revise them easily.

Third Part of Your Time: Practice and Revision: 100 Days

1) By this time, You have completed reading all books and resources. Now comes the most important part of your preparation. That is nothing but practice. You can practice either previous question papers or Test Series. This evaluates your preparation level.

2) Revise all books and resources again and again. Revise the notes you have prepared. Finetune your revision notes.

Daily Study Schedule

You should consider all study requirements, revision, practice, and office constraints before preparing a daily plan. This is not a fixed plan. You should change it to your needs. For example, If you cannot study different subjects in a single day, then read one subject completely.
