How to prepare (free, in order)

  1. GK is half the paper: daily current affairs from PIB plus NCERT static GK (history, geography, polity, economy, science).
  2. Reasoning (25) and arithmetic (15) next: practise from NCERT Class 6–10 maths and daily sets.
  3. Computer fundamentals (10): NCERT/computer-awareness module plus hands-on MS Word/Excel, email and browser basics.
  4. Mocks from official SSC question papers/answer keys on ssc.gov.in; the −0.25 penalty rewards accuracy.
  5. Start the 1600 m running practice on day one — PE&MT is qualifying but eliminatory.
