8 weeks · About 6 hours per week

Week 1

Quantitative Aptitude / Numerical Ability & Reasoning Ability

  • Diagnose baseline by taking one timed sectional test each in quantitative aptitude and reasoning, and log accuracy plus time-per-question.

  • Build a personal formula sheet for percentages, ratio-proportion, averages, and number series, writing each formula from memory before checking.

  • Drill 40 simplification and approximation questions under a 20-minute timer to raise calculation speed.

  • Practise 30 seating-arrangement and puzzle sets using a fixed notation system for layouts.

  • Set up an error log with columns for topic, cause of error, and corrective rule.

Your checkpoint

A dated baseline scorecard for Domains 2 and 3 plus a one-page formula sheet and an error-log file with at least 40 entries.

Week 2

Quantitative Aptitude / Numerical Ability & Reasoning Ability

  • Solve 60 arithmetic word problems on time-work, pipes-cisterns, and speed-distance, targeting 75 percent accuracy.

  • Complete 50 data-interpretation questions across tabular, bar, and pie charts within 45 minutes total.

  • Work through 40 syllogism and inequality questions, writing the Venn or line diagram for each before answering.

  • Memorise squares to 40, cubes to 25, and fraction-to-percentage equivalents to cut computation time.

  • Review the error log and re-solve every question missed so far without notes.

Your checkpoint

A 50-question mixed mini-test in Domains 2 and 3 scored at or above 70 percent, with a re-solve sheet for all missed items.

Week 3

Quantitative Aptitude / Numerical Ability & Reasoning Ability

  • Cover mensuration and geometry basics: area, perimeter, volume of standard solids, and Pythagoras applications.

  • Practise 30 permutation-combination and probability questions at easy-to-moderate difficulty.

  • Drill 40 blood-relation, direction-sense, and ranking-order questions with diagram-first method.

  • Attempt one 35-minute sectional test in each of Domains 2 and 3 and record sectional percentile estimates.

  • Classify remaining weak topics into keep, revise, and drop lists based on score evidence.

Your checkpoint

A written weak-topic triage list with the exact number of questions to attempt per topic in later weeks.

Week 4

English Language & Reasoning Ability

  • Read one editorial daily and extract 10 words with meaning, usage, and one synonym and antonym each.

  • Complete 60 error-detection and sentence-correction questions, noting recurring grammar traps such as subject-verb agreement and prepositions.

  • Practise 5 reading-comprehension passages under 8 minutes each, answering inference questions before detail questions.

  • Solve 40 coding-decoding and alphanumeric-series questions to lock in pattern recognition.

  • Revise the error log and retire topics where accuracy has crossed 85 percent twice.

Your checkpoint

A vocabulary notebook of 70 new words with usage sentences plus a reading-comprehension accuracy figure from 5 timed passages.

Week 5

English Language & General Awareness / Current Affairs

  • Complete 50 cloze-test and fill-in-the-blank items, prioritising contextual fit over isolated word meaning.

  • Write 2 short letters or emails in a formal banking register and self-check tone, structure, and grammar.

  • Build a current-affairs note system by month covering national, international, sports, awards, and appointments.

  • Revise static general awareness: important days, organisations, and abbreviations, 30 items per sitting.

  • Take one 25-question English sectional test and one 25-question current-affairs quiz, both timed.

Your checkpoint

A two-month current-affairs digest of at least 120 dated bullet points plus one graded writing sample.

Week 6

Computer Knowledge / Computer Aptitude & Banking Awareness / Financial Awareness

  • Map computer fundamentals: hardware, software, memory units, input-output devices, and number systems with conversions.

  • Practise shortcuts and basic functions in word processing and spreadsheets relevant to daily banking work.

  • Explain networking and security basics in own words: LAN, WAN, IP address, firewall, malware, phishing, and OTP safety.

  • Revise banking structure and regulation: RBI functions, monetary policy tools, types of accounts, and cheque and payment instruments.

  • Memorise key financial-awareness facts: negotiable instruments, NEFT, RTGS, UPI, and basic insurance and pension terms.

Your checkpoint

A one-page-per-domain cheat sheet for Domains 5 and 6, each verified against a standard reference and scored on a 20-question self-quiz.

Week 7

Regional / State Awareness (Chhattisgarh) & Banking Awareness / Financial Awareness & General Awareness / Current Affairs

  • Compile a Chhattisgarh fact sheet: districts, capital, major rivers, dams, minerals, forests, and state symbols.

  • List state-specific institutions, major industries, and flagship welfare or rural schemes with launch context.

  • Revise the current-affairs digest for the last 90 days and flag items with a state or banking angle.

  • Answer 40 mixed questions across Domains 4, 6, and 7 in 30 minutes and review every miss.

A Chhattisgarh state-awareness one-pager of at least 60 verified facts plus a mixed-quiz score above 65 percent.

Week 8

Professional / Technical Knowledge (Post-specific) & Quantitative Aptitude / Numerical Ability & Reasoning Ability

  • Consolidate post-specific technical material into a 10-point summary and rehearse it aloud for clarity.

  • Take 2 full-length mock tests under exam timing and analyse section-wise time allocation.

  • Re-solve the entire error log and confirm each corrective rule is now automatic.

  • Run 3 short speed drills on quant and reasoning to protect accuracy under fatigue.
