Chandigarh Police Constable study plan

Chandigarh Police Constable · Give each week a clear focus.

8 weeks · About 7 hours per week

Week 1

Numerical Ability and Quantitative Aptitude & General Knowledge and Current Affairs

  • Diagnose baseline accuracy in arithmetic and current affairs by taking one untimed 40-question mixed set and logging every error by cause (concept gap, calculation slip, misread).

  • Memorise tables up to 20, squares up to 30 and cubes up to 15, then recite them daily in 10-minute bursts until recall is instant.

  • Drill percentage, ratio and average conversions until you can move between fraction, decimal and percentage forms without writing intermediate steps.

  • Set up a single current-affairs notebook split into national, Punjab/Chandigarh-local, sports, awards and appointments, and start a daily 15-minute newspaper or app review.

Your checkpoint

A one-page error log listing your three weakest numerical sub-topics with counts, plus 7 dated current-affairs entries in the notebook.

Week 2

Numerical Ability and Quantitative Aptitude & General Knowledge and Current Affairs

  • Solve profit-and-loss, simple interest and compound interest problems using a fixed three-step template (identify given, choose base, apply formula) for 30 questions.

  • Complete 40 time-speed-distance and time-and-work questions, timing each set at 45 seconds per question to build exam pace.

  • Build a current-affairs timeline of the last three months covering major central government schemes and appointments, and link each to a one-line recall cue.

  • Review last week's error log and re-solve every missed question without looking at the solution.

Your checkpoint

A timed 30-question arithmetic test scored and corrected, with accuracy recorded and compared against week 1.

Week 3

Numerical Ability and Quantitative Aptitude & General Awareness and Reasoning

  • Master simplification and approximation using BODMAS, surds and indices across 60 rapid-fire questions.

  • Complete 50 number series and analogy questions, writing the underlying rule next to each solved item.

  • Solve 30 data-interpretation sets based on tables and bar graphs, practising approximation instead of exact calculation.

  • Start a reasoning rule sheet covering coding-decoding, blood relations and direction sense with worked examples you write yourself.

Your checkpoint

A hand-written reasoning rule sheet of at least 15 rules, each with one original example and one solved practice question.

Week 4

General Awareness and Reasoning & Numerical Ability and Quantitative Aptitude

  • Complete 60 seating-arrangement and puzzle questions, starting with linear arrangements before moving to circular and floor-based puzzles.

  • Drill syllogism and inequality questions using Venn diagrams until you can solve 20 in under 15 minutes.

  • Revise all arithmetic formulas from weeks 1-3 into a single condensed formula card.

  • Take one full-length mock of Domain 3 under exam timing and analyse every wrong answer.

Your checkpoint

A full-length numerical-ability mock completed under timing with a written analysis of every error and a revised formula card.

Week 5

General Awareness and Reasoning & General Knowledge and Current Affairs

  • Solve 50 non-verbal reasoning items covering mirror images, paper folding, embedded figures and figure series.

  • Complete 40 statement-conclusion, assumption and cause-effect questions, noting the exact wording that makes an option wrong.

  • Consolidate current affairs from weeks 1-4 into 100 one-line facts and self-test them with flashcards.

  • Cover static general knowledge on Indian polity basics, the Constitution and Punjab and Chandigarh geography, writing short notes.

Your checkpoint

A 100-fact current-affairs and static-GK flashcard deck, self-tested with at least 80 percent recall.

Week 6

Language (English and Punjabi/Hindi) and Basic Computer Knowledge & General Knowledge and Current Affairs

  • Revise English grammar rules for error spotting, sentence improvement, articles, prepositions and subject-verb agreement, then apply them to 60 questions.

  • Build a vocabulary list of 100 words with synonyms, antonyms and one original sentence each.

  • Practise Punjabi or Hindi passages and grammar items for 45 minutes daily, matching the language you will attempt in the exam.

  • Complete basic computer knowledge notes on hardware, software, memory units, shortcuts and internet terminology, then answer 40 questions.

Your checkpoint

A language and computer cheat sheet of 4 pages with 100 vocabulary words, 20 keyboard shortcuts and 15 computer abbreviations.

Week 7

Language (English and Punjabi/Hindi) and Basic Computer Knowledge & General Awareness and Reasoning

  • Complete 30 reading-comprehension passages across English and your chosen language, timing each at 6 minutes.

  • Practise 50 computer-awareness questions on MS Office, file extensions and networking basics until accuracy exceeds 80 percent.

  • Revisit the reasoning rule sheet and solve 40 mixed reasoning questions drawn only from rules you previously got wrong.

  • Write 5 short letters or précis exercises to internalise format and conciseness.

Your checkpoint

A mixed 50-question language and computer test scored at 80 percent or above, with corrections written out.

Week 8

General Awareness and Reasoning & General Knowledge and Current Affairs & Numerical Ability and Quantitative Aptitude & Language (English and Punjabi/Hindi) and Basic Computer Knowledge

  • Take three full-length mocks across all four domains on alternate days, each followed by a same-day error review.

  • Reduce per-question time in Domain 3 to 40 seconds by practising skip-and-return strategy on two timed sets.

  • Revise only your own notes, formula card, rule sheet and flashcards, avoiding new material.

  • Simulate exam-day conditions once, including sleep timing, to fix your section order and attempt strategy.

Your checkpoint

Three completed full-length mocks with scores trending upward, plus a final one-page exam-day strategy sheet covering section order and time allocation.

Milestones

Week 4: Score at least 60 percent on the timed Domain 3 mock and show that arithmetic accuracy has improved over the week 1 baseline.

Week 6: Recall at least 80 of 100 current-affairs and static-GK flashcards correctly and finish the language and computer cheat sheet.

Week 8: Achieve a rising trend across three full-length mocks, with the final mock at or above 65 percent overall and no domain below 50 percent.
