DFCCIL MTS · Give each week a clear focus.

8 weeks · About 7 hours per week

Week 1

Quantitative Aptitude / Elementary Mathematics & General Intelligence & Reasoning

Solve 60 elementary arithmetic questions (percentages, ratio-proportion, averages) and log every wrong answer with the exact rule that failed
Memorise tables up to 20 and squares up to 30, and recite them aloud in two timed 10-minute drills
Build a one-page formula sheet for percentage, profit-loss and simple interest, and rewrite it from memory at week's end
Complete 40 reasoning questions on number series and letter/alphabet series, noting the pattern type for each

A handwritten error log of at least 30 arithmetic and series mistakes, each tagged with its topic and the corrected rule

Week 2

Work through 50 time-work, time-speed-distance and train problems, timing each set to 90 seconds per question
Drill 40 coding-decoding and blood-relation questions, writing the family tree or code table before answering
Practise 30 simplification and approximation questions using BODMAS without a calculator
Review week 1 error log and re-solve every logged question cold, marking any repeat failure

A timed 30-question arithmetic-reasoning mock scored and analysed, with accuracy per topic recorded

Week 3

Solve 40 mensuration and geometry questions (area, perimeter, volume of standard shapes) with diagrams drawn for each
Complete 40 seating-arrangement and direction-sense puzzles, drawing the layout for every one
Practise 30 data-interpretation sets (tables and bar charts) reading values directly off given numbers
Re-attempt all week 2 errors and confirm each is now solved correctly twice in a row

A topic-wise accuracy table covering all quantitative topics attempted so far, with your three weakest topics named

Week 4

Compile and memorise 100 static-GK facts (Indian polity, geography, national symbols, important dates) in a self-made table
Read one current-affairs digest daily for 14 days and note 5 items per day in your own words
Solve 50 reasoning questions on syllogism, ranking and order, and mathematical operations
Take a 25-question general-awareness mock and classify every miss as static GK or current affairs

A 100-fact static-GK sheet plus a 14-day current-affairs log, both self-written and dated

Week 5

Revise the 100-fact GK sheet daily and add 50 new facts on Indian history, economy and sports
Complete 40 English questions on synonyms, antonyms and one-word substitutions, recording each new word in a vocabulary notebook
Do 30 Hindi questions on paryayvachi, vilom and muhavare, and write each idiom with a sample sentence
Solve 30 error-spotting and sentence-improvement questions, naming the grammar rule broken in each

A bilingual vocabulary notebook of 80 words and 25 idioms, each with meaning and one original sentence

Week 6

Practise 25 reading-comprehension passages in English and Hindi, timing each to 4 minutes
Complete 40 fill-in-the-blank and cloze-test questions using context clues rather than guesswork
Revise all current-affairs notes from weeks 4-5 and self-quiz 50 items without looking
Write 10 short paragraphs in English and 10 in Hindi on exam-style topics to build sentence fluency

A comprehension log of 25 passages with time taken, correct answers, and the reason for each wrong option chosen

Week 7

Take two full-length sectional mocks for quantitative aptitude and reasoning, each under exam timing
Analyse both mocks question by question and rewrite the solution for every incorrect answer
Complete 60 mixed English and Hindi language questions covering grammar, vocabulary and comprehension
Revise the formula sheet and error log, re-solving 20 previously failed questions

Two sectional mocks with written post-mortems listing error causes (concept, calculation, misread, time)

Week 8

Take three full-length mock tests covering all four domains under strict exam conditions
Revise the static-GK sheet, current-affairs log and bilingual vocabulary notebook twice
Re-solve every question still marked wrong in the error log until each is correct without hints
Practise a time-allocation strategy in each mock and record minutes spent per section

Three completed full-length mocks with scores, section-wise timing, and a final one-page revision sheet for exam day

Week 2: Score at least 60% on the timed 30-question arithmetic-reasoning mock and show a written error log of 30+ entries

Week 4: Recall 80 of 100 static-GK facts unaided and score at least 60% on the 25-question general-awareness mock

Week 6: Finish 25 comprehension passages within the 4-minute-per-passage limit and self-quiz 40 of 50 current-affairs items correctly

Week 8: Average at least 65% across three full-length mocks with no section left unattempted and a completed error log
