DSSSB PGT study plan

DSSSB PGT · Give each week a clear focus.

8 weeks · About 7 hours per week

Week 1

Section B - Post-specific subject knowledge for the PGT discipline (indicative syllabus)

  • Map the PGT subject syllabus into 12 topic clusters and rank them by how many marks each draws in previous papers.

  • Complete the three highest-weight clusters, writing your own one-page summary of formulas, definitions and derivations for each.

  • Solve 40 previous-year-style MCQs from those clusters untimed, tagging every wrong answer by cause (concept gap, misread, speed, guess).

  • Open a single error log with columns for topic, cause, correction rule and re-test date.

Your checkpoint

Three cluster summary sheets plus a 40-question attempt scored and fully tagged in the error log.

Week 2

Section B - Post-specific subject knowledge for the PGT discipline (indicative syllabus) & Section A - General Awareness, General Intelligence & Reasoning, Arithmetic & Numerical Ability, Hindi & English (indicative syllabus)

  • Finish three more subject clusters and re-derive the five most-used formulas from memory before checking your sheet.

  • Solve 100 arithmetic questions across percentage, ratio-proportion, average and time-speed-distance, in sets of 25.

  • Re-attempt every question tagged as wrong in week 1 without looking at the solution first.

  • Memorise 20 speed shortcuts for arithmetic and note where each one fails.

Your checkpoint

A 25-question arithmetic set completed in 25 minutes at 65% accuracy or above.

Week 3

Section B - Post-specific subject knowledge for the PGT discipline (indicative syllabus) & Section A - General Awareness, General Intelligence & Reasoning, Arithmetic & Numerical Ability, Hindi & English (indicative syllabus)

  • Complete three further subject clusters, prioritising ones that generate numerical or application questions.

  • Drill 120 reasoning questions across series, coding-decoding, syllogism, blood relations, direction sense and seating arrangement.

  • Impose a 60-second per-question cap on reasoning and practise leaving a question behind without regret.

  • Solve 30 Hindi grammar items (संधि, समास, मुहावरे, वाक्यशुद्धि) in the bilingual format Section A uses.

Your checkpoint

A 30-question reasoning sectional finished in 30 minutes at 70% accuracy or above.

Week 4

Section B - Post-specific subject knowledge for the PGT discipline (indicative syllabus) & Section A - General Awareness, General Intelligence & Reasoning, Arithmetic & Numerical Ability, Hindi & English (indicative syllabus)

  • Revise the five highest-yield subject clusters using only your own summary sheets, no textbook re-reading.

  • Sit one full Section B (subject) mock under strict exam timing with no breaks.

  • Analyse the mock and convert every lost mark into a single-line correction rule in the error log.

  • Solve 30 English questions on error spotting, synonyms and idioms to keep Section A alive.

Your checkpoint

Section B mock scored at 60% or above, with a written post-mortem of every wrong answer.

Week 5

Section A - General Awareness, General Intelligence & Reasoning, Arithmetic & Numerical Ability, Hindi & English (indicative syllabus)

  • Compress twelve months of current affairs into ten pages: schemes, appointments, awards, sports, science and defence.

  • Cover static general awareness blocks - polity and constitutional articles, Indian geography, economy basics - through 60 questions.

  • Solve 50 Hindi grammar and 50 English grammar and vocabulary questions, splitting them across the week.

  • Turn the 20 facts you keep forgetting into flashcards and self-test them twice.

Your checkpoint

A 50-question Section A mixed sectional (general awareness plus language) scored at 70%, with the flashcard deck complete.

Week 6

Section B - Post-specific subject knowledge for the PGT discipline (indicative syllabus) & Section A - General Awareness, General Intelligence & Reasoning, Arithmetic & Numerical Ability, Hindi & English (indicative syllabus)

  • Finish all remaining subject clusters and label anything still unread as a risk with a fixed revision date.

  • Practise four Hindi and four English comprehension passages with a six-minute cap per passage.

  • Sit the second full Section B mock and compare the sectional breakdown against week 4.

  • Re-attempt the week-4 mock questions you got wrong, cold, and confirm each correction rule now holds.

Your checkpoint

Section B mock 2 scored at 70% or above with no subject cluster left unread.

Week 7

Section A - General Awareness, General Intelligence & Reasoning, Arithmetic & Numerical Ability, Hindi & English (indicative syllabus) & Section B - Post-specific subject knowledge for the PGT discipline (indicative syllabus)

  • Sit two full-length mocks, both sections together at exam duration, on separate days with a full night's sleep between them.

  • Rebuild the error log so it keeps only the rules that are still failing, deleting the resolved ones.

  • Revise the arithmetic and reasoning formula sheets in two 45-minute blocks.

  • Run a 100-question rapid sprint over general awareness and language, marking answers in under 40 seconds each.

Your checkpoint

Two full-length mock scorecards with sectional cut-off analysis and a one-page fix list.

Week 8

Section A - General Awareness, General Intelligence & Reasoning, Arithmetic & Numerical Ability, Hindi & English (indicative syllabus) & Section B - Post-specific subject knowledge for the PGT discipline (indicative syllabus)

  • Work the one-page fix list daily for the first four days, then stop all new learning.

  • Sit one final full-length mock starting at the same clock time as your real exam slot.

  • Recite subject formula and definition sheets plus 200 general awareness facts in spaced cycles rather than one long read.

  • Prepare exam-day logistics: admit card, photo ID, reporting time, centre route and permitted items.

Your checkpoint

Final mock at or above your target score, with every item on the fix list marked resolved.

Milestones

Week 2: Six of twelve subject clusters closed out, arithmetic set cleared at 65%, and the error log shows at least 25 tagged entries with no repeat of the same cause twice running.

Week 4: Section B mock at 60% or above, half the subject syllabus summarised, and Section A arithmetic plus reasoning both at 65% or better.

Week 6: Full subject syllabus covered, Section B mock at 70% or above, and language sectionals stable at 70% without extra time.

Week 8: Three or more full-length mocks completed, upward score trend across them, no unresolved fix-list items, and Section A held above 60% while Section B stays above 70%.
