Spend the first 10 days on high-yield basics (percentage, ratio, profit and loss, Odia and English grammar, series and coding-decoding), the next 10 days on General Awareness, Odisha GK and remaining Maths topics, and the last 10 days on paper-wise mocks and revision. Keep 20 to 30 minutes daily for computer practical.
30 ଦିନରେ high-yield topics + mock test ଉପରେ focus କରନ୍ତୁ, ଏବଂ ପ୍ରତିଦିନ ଟିକେ computer practice ରଖନ୍ତୁ।
30 ଦିନରେ high-yield topics + mock test ଉପରେ focus କରନ୍ତୁ, ଏବଂ ପ୍ରତିଦିନ ଟିକେ computer practice ରଖନ୍ତୁ।
If you can, study 5 to 6 focused hours a day. Working candidates can prepare with 3 to 4 hours daily if the plan is consistent, mocks are not skipped and some time goes to computer practice.
Start with Mathematics and Odia grammar because they need time to build, then add English, Reasoning and General Awareness. Current affairs and computer practice can run in parallel in short daily slots.
As per the latest notification, the written exam is objective type for 400 marks with 0.25 negative marking. Paper 1 is General Awareness (100 marks), Paper 2 is Reasoning plus 10th-level Mathematics (100 marks), and Paper 3 is English plus Odia (200 marks). A practical Computer Skill Test of 50 marks is qualifying. Always match with the official notification.
Yes, the commission has fixed minimum qualifying marks for each written paper (35% for UR and 30% for SC/ST/PwD as per the latest notification). So do not neglect any paper while chasing high scores in another.
Aim for at least 15 to 20 mocks across all papers, plus topic-wise tests, and a full 400-marks set every week in the last month. Spend as much time analysing each mock as taking it, and keep an error log.
Yes. It is a qualifying practical test, so failing it ends your selection even with a high written score. Practise Word, Excel and typing regularly on a real computer instead of only reading theory.
There is no fixed official safe score because the cut-off depends on category, number of vacancies and paper difficulty. Aim to score consistently well above your own mock average and keep accuracy high in every paper.
Cut-off category, vacancy ଓ paper difficulty ଉପରେ ନିର୍ଭର କରେ - ତେଣୁ ଗୋଟିଏ fixed number ନାହିଁ।
