ESIC UDC study plan

ESIC UDC · Give each week a clear focus.

8 weeks · About 7 hours per week

Week 1

Quantitative Aptitude / Numerical Ability & General Intelligence and Reasoning Ability

  • Diagnose your baseline by taking one 50-question mixed mock of Quantitative Aptitude and Reasoning under a 45-minute timer, then tabulate accuracy by topic

  • Build a personal formula sheet covering percentages, ratio-proportion, averages, simple and compound interest, and time-speed-distance, writing each formula from memory once

  • Practise 60 percentage and ratio questions with a fixed 45-second-per-question cap, noting every question that crossed the cap

  • Set up a daily 20-minute mental-maths drill for tables up to 25, squares up to 30, and fraction-to-percentage conversions

Your checkpoint

A one-page error log listing your five weakest Quant and five weakest Reasoning topics with measured accuracy percentages

Week 2

Quantitative Aptitude / Numerical Ability & General Intelligence and Reasoning Ability

  • Solve 120 arithmetic word problems across profit-loss, partnership, mixtures and ages, grouping them by technique rather than by chapter

  • Learn and apply the three standard techniques for series completion, analogies and odd-one-out, then attempt 80 such items

  • Introduce diagram-based Reasoning by drawing Venn diagrams and seating arrangements from scratch for 40 puzzles

  • Review the week-1 error log and re-attempt every logged question without looking at the solution first

Your checkpoint

A timed 30-question sectional test on arithmetic and series/analogy scoring at least 70 percent accuracy

Week 3

Quantitative Aptitude / Numerical Ability & General Intelligence and Reasoning Ability

  • Cover time-work, pipes-cisterns, boats-streams and trains by deriving each shortcut once and then solving 15 questions per topic

  • Master syllogism using Venn-diagram validation, completing 50 items with zero rule-memorisation errors

  • Practise coding-decoding and blood-relations for 45 minutes twice this week, timing each set

  • Start a weekly 25-minute full Reasoning sectional to build sustained concentration

Your checkpoint

A handwritten shortcut card for all speed-maths topics plus a 25-question Reasoning sectional attempted at 85 percent accuracy

Week 4

Quantitative Aptitude / Numerical Ability & General Intelligence and Reasoning Ability

  • Complete data-interpretation practice on tables, bar graphs and pie charts, solving 8 sets of 5 questions each within 4 minutes per set

  • Practise direction-sense, ranking and order puzzles for 60 questions total

  • Revisit all error-log entries from weeks 1 to 3 and rewrite the correct method for each without prompts

  • Take a 60-minute combined Quant plus Reasoning mock and analyse every wrong answer for cause: concept, calculation or time

Your checkpoint

A full-length 100-question Quant plus Reasoning mock with a written cause-analysis for every incorrect answer

Week 5

English Language & General Awareness / General Knowledge

  • Revise English grammar fundamentals: subject-verb agreement, tenses, articles, prepositions and pronouns, doing 20 error-spotting questions per rule

  • Build a vocabulary notebook of 100 words with usage sentences, drawn from reading one English newspaper editorial daily

  • Create a dated timeline of major Indian constitutional developments, amendments and landmark judgments covering 60 entries

  • Memorise static-GK clusters for national parks, dance forms, currencies and capitals using self-made flashcards, 30 cards per day

Your checkpoint

A 100-word vocabulary notebook plus a 60-entry constitutional timeline written in your own words

Week 6

General Awareness / General Knowledge & Computer Knowledge / Computer Literacy

  • Consolidate Indian polity by summarising the fundamental rights, directive principles and the three lists into a single comparison chart

  • Cover modern Indian history and the freedom movement through 50 one-line factual notes you write yourself

  • Learn computer fundamentals: hardware versus software, input-output devices, memory hierarchy and number systems, practising 40 MCQs

  • Practise MS Word, Excel and PowerPoint operations hands-on for 90 minutes, focusing on shortcuts and menu locations likely to be asked

Your checkpoint

A two-page polity comparison chart plus a scored 50-question Computer Knowledge quiz at 80 percent or above

Week 7

Computer Knowledge / Computer Literacy & English Language

  • Cover networking basics, internet terminology, email protocols, browsers and cyber-safety, answering 60 MCQs and correcting every mistake

  • Learn shortcut keys for Windows and MS Office, then self-test on 50 of them from memory

  • Practise reading comprehension on two passages daily, answering 5 questions each within 6 minutes

  • Drill sentence rearrangement, cloze tests and fill-in-the-blanks for 60 questions total, tracking accuracy per type

Your checkpoint

A scored 50-question Computer Knowledge test and a reading-comprehension log showing per-passage time and accuracy

Week 8

General Awareness / General Knowledge & General Intelligence and Reasoning Ability & Quantitative Aptitude / Numerical Ability & English Language & Computer Knowledge / Computer Literacy

  • Take three full-length mocks on alternate days, replicating exam timing and section order exactly

  • Analyse each mock within 24 hours, listing every repeated error and the topic it belongs to

  • Revise only your own notes, formula sheet, flashcards and error log in the final two days, adding no new material

  • Rehearse section-wise time allocation and the order in which you will attempt questions

Your checkpoint

Three completed full-length mocks with a final one-page revision sheet and a documented attempt strategy

Milestones

Week 2: Score at least 65 percent on the timed arithmetic and series/analogy sectional, and confirm every week-1 error-log question has been re-attempted

Week 4: Complete a 100-question Quant plus Reasoning mock within the time limit with at least 60 percent accuracy and a written cause-analysis for each wrong answer

Week 6: Hold a 60-entry constitutional timeline, a 100-word vocabulary notebook and a polity comparison chart, and score 80 percent or above on the 50-question Computer Knowledge quiz

Week 8: Average at least 65 percent across the three full-length mocks with a stable, documented time-allocation strategy per section
