DSSSB Pharmacist study plan

DSSSB Pharmacist · Give each week a clear focus.

8 weeks · About 6 hours per week

Week 1

General Awareness & Arithmetical & Numerical Ability

  • Map the full General Awareness syllabus into 6 thematic blocks (Indian polity, modern Indian history, geography, general science, static GK/economy, current affairs) and allot a fixed revision slot to each

  • Build a dated one-page timeline of key Indian polity milestones (1857 to present) and recite it aloud twice from memory

  • Drill percentage, ratio and average conversions by solving 40 mixed numerical problems under a 40-minute timer

  • Create a personal error log with three columns (question type, mistake made, correction rule) and enter every wrong answer from this week

  • Read one week of current affairs from a single reliable daily source and write 15 one-line facts in your own words

Your checkpoint

A completed error log with at least 50 entries plus a one-page polity timeline reproduced from memory without notes

Week 2

General Awareness & Arithmetical & Numerical Ability

  • Memorise the constitutional articles, fundamental rights and directive principles most frequently tested, and self-quiz 60 of them

  • Solve 30 time-and-work and 30 time-speed-distance problems, timing each set separately

  • Summarise Indian geography (rivers, mountain passes, soil types, national parks) into a two-page fact sheet written from memory first, then corrected

  • Convert 40 current-affairs items into question-and-answer flashcards and review them on two separate days

  • Re-attempt every numerical question missed in week 1 and confirm at least 80 percent are now correct

Your checkpoint

A two-page self-written geography fact sheet and a timed numerical set scored at 70 percent or above

Week 3

General Awareness & Arithmetical & Numerical Ability

  • Cover general science (human body, nutrition, common diseases, basic physics and chemistry units) and produce 50 short recall cues

  • Solve 40 profit-and-loss and 40 simple/compound interest problems, recording the formula used for each

  • Practice 20 data-interpretation sets (tables, bar graphs, pie charts) with a strict two-minute-per-set cap

  • Revise the week 1 and week 2 current-affairs flashcards and retire the ones you now answer instantly

  • Take one 30-question mixed General Awareness mock and analyse every wrong option

Your checkpoint

A scored 30-question General Awareness mock with a written analysis of each incorrect option

Week 4

General Awareness & Arithmetical & Numerical Ability

  • Complete a full-length timed numerical sectional test and log the time spent per question type

  • Consolidate static GK (books and authors, awards, dances, festivals, important days) into 100 flashcards

  • Re-solve the entire error log from weeks 1 to 3 without consulting notes

  • Write a one-page summary of Indian economy basics (budget terms, banking institutions, key schemes) from memory

  • Identify your three weakest numerical topics and schedule extra drill blocks for them in weeks 5 and 6

Your checkpoint

A full-length numerical sectional test completed within the time limit, with a topic-wise accuracy table

Week 5

General Intelligence & Reasoning Ability & English Language & Comprehension

  • Learn and apply the standard reasoning families (series, analogy, coding-decoding, blood relations, direction sense) by solving 25 questions per family

  • Practice 20 seating-arrangement and 20 syllogism sets, drawing diagrams for each rather than guessing

  • Complete 30 English grammar drills on subject-verb agreement, tenses and articles, and rewrite each incorrect sentence correctly

  • Build a vocabulary log of 60 words with meaning, usage and one synonym each, reviewed on three separate days

  • Do one 25-question English comprehension passage set and mark where each answer is supported in the passage

Your checkpoint

A reasoning accuracy sheet showing per-family scores plus a 60-word vocabulary log with original usage sentences

Week 6

General Intelligence & Reasoning Ability & English Language & Comprehension

  • Solve 40 non-verbal reasoning items (figure series, mirror images, paper folding, embedded figures) and note the rule behind each

  • Practice 30 error-spotting and 30 sentence-improvement questions, classifying each error by grammar category

  • Write two short paraphrases and two précis passages in English and compare them against the originals for accuracy

  • Revise the vocabulary log and test yourself on all 60 words without looking at meanings

  • Take a timed 50-question combined reasoning and English mock and review it the same day

Your checkpoint

A timed 50-question reasoning plus English mock with a category-wise error breakdown

Week 7

Hindi Language & Comprehension & General Intelligence & Reasoning Ability

  • Revise Hindi grammar essentials (संधि, समास, उपसर्ग, प्रत्यय, मुहावरे, पर्यायवाची, विलोम) and complete 100 practice items across them

  • Practice 15 Hindi comprehension passages and 10 Hindi-to-Hindi correction exercises, timing each passage

  • Re-drill the two weakest reasoning families identified in week 6 with 20 fresh questions each

  • Complete 20 mixed arithmetic questions daily for four days to keep numerical skills warm

  • Review the error log and rewrite every rule you keep forgetting into a single one-page cheat sheet

Your checkpoint

A one-page Hindi grammar cheat sheet plus a scored Hindi comprehension set of 15 passages

Week 8

General Awareness & General Intelligence & Reasoning Ability & Arithmetical & Numerical Ability & Hindi Language & Comprehension & English Language & Comprehension

  • Take three full-length mixed mocks on separate days, each under exam conditions with no pauses

  • Analyse each mock within 24 hours and rank your five weakest question types across all domains

  • Re-attempt every question missed across all three mocks and confirm 85 percent or higher accuracy

  • Run two rapid revision passes over the polity timeline, geography sheet, science cues, static GK flashcards, vocabulary log and Hindi cheat sheet

  • Rehearse exam-day logistics: section order, per-section time budget and a skip-and-return rule

Your checkpoint

Three completed full-length mocks with a final accuracy report and a written exam-day time-allocation plan

Milestones

Week 2: You can reproduce the polity timeline and 60 constitutional facts from memory, and your timed numerical sets are scoring at least 65 percent.

Week 4: You have finished the General Awareness and Numerical phases with a full-length sectional test completed in time and an error log of at least 150 reviewed entries.

Week 6: Your combined reasoning and English mock shows at least 60 percent accuracy, and every reasoning family has a documented solving rule in your notes.

Week 8: All three full-length mocks are complete, the final accuracy report is written, and every domain has been revised at least twice in the final week.
