JK Police SI study plan
JK Police SI · Give each week a clear focus.
8 weeks · About 7 hours per week
General Awareness and Current Affairs & Reasoning and Analytical Ability
Start a dated current-affairs log and record 30 entries in week 1: 10 national, 6 Jammu and Kashmir, 5 international, 4 appointments/awards, 5 sports and defence items, each with a one-line context note.
Drill 100 reasoning questions across number/letter series, analogy, coding-decoding and blood relations, working in timed sets of 25 at roughly one minute per question.
Take a 20-question diagnostic on syllogism and linear seating arrangement, score it honestly, and list the three subtypes where accuracy fell below 60%.
Review every wrong reasoning answer on the same day and write the underlying rule beside it in an error log, so week 2 starts from named gaps.
Your checkpoint
A dated 30-entry current-affairs log plus a reasoning error log naming the three weakest question subtypes with their diagnostic scores.
General Awareness and Current Affairs & Reasoning and Analytical Ability
Memorise 60 static-GK facts this week, split evenly across Indian polity, geography, economy and basic science, and self-test them with 30 recall questions.
Build a table of 20 government schemes with launch year, ministry and one-line objective, including at least five that are Jammu and Kashmir specific.
Solve 100 puzzle-type reasoning questions covering floor arrangement, scheduling, data sufficiency, inequality and direction sense, timing each set of 25 under 20 minutes.
Keep the daily current-affairs habit by adding 5 entries per day and re-reading the previous week's log every Sunday.
Attempt one 30-question mixed reasoning sectional and record topic-wise accuracy to compare against the week 1 diagnostic.
Your checkpoint
A completed 20-scheme reference table and a scored 30-question reasoning sectional showing improvement over the week 1 diagnostic.
General English & Reasoning and Analytical Ability
Revise and apply grammar rules for subject-verb agreement, tense sequence, articles, prepositions and pronouns across 200 error-spotting and sentence-correction questions.
Compile 50 exam-level words with meaning, synonym, antonym and one original sentence each, and test yourself on 25 of them at week's end.
Practise six reading-comprehension passages with a strict 8-minute cap per passage and mark the evidence line for every answer chosen.
Work through 60 reasoning questions on statement-assumption, statement-argument, inference and cause-effect, writing a one-line justification for each rejection.
Log the recurring error types from both domains into one page so revision in week 8 is targeted rather than general.
Your checkpoint
A timed sectional of 30 English and 20 reasoning questions with a topic-wise accuracy report and a one-page list of recurring error types.
General English & Indian Constitution, Policing and Law
Complete 100 questions on idioms and phrases, synonyms, antonyms, cloze test and para jumbles, then re-attempt only the missed ones after two days.
Study the Preamble, Fundamental Rights, Directive Principles, Fundamental Duties, writs and the main constitutional amendments, and test retention with 100 MCQs.
Sit one full English sectional of 50 questions in 45 minutes under exam conditions and analyse the time spent per section.
Write short notes linking each writ and each Fundamental Right to one current example so the article numbers stick.
Read one monthly current-affairs digest cover to cover to close gaps in the first three weeks' log.
Your checkpoint
A full-length mock covering current affairs, reasoning and English, scored against your target cut-off with a section-wise time breakdown.
Indian Constitution, Policing and Law & Numerical Ability / Quantitative Aptitude
Map the Union and State executive, Parliament, Supreme Court and High Court, federalism, the Schedules and emergency provisions, then answer 80 MCQs on them.
Learn policing essentials: the new criminal law framework replacing the IPC, CrPC and Evidence Act, plus NDPS, POCSO, Juvenile Justice, human rights and cybercrime basics, and write a one-line summary of each Act.
Solve 150 arithmetic questions on percentage, ratio, average, profit and loss, time-work and time-speed-distance, with a 60-second-per-question clock.
Maintain a formula sheet and an error log that names the exact step where each arithmetic attempt broke down.
Re-read the week 3 English error page and re-solve 20 of the previously wrong questions.
Your checkpoint
A 50-question law-and-policing mock at 75% or above plus a 25-question arithmetic set finished in 25 minutes at 80% accuracy.
Numerical Ability / Quantitative Aptitude & Jammu and Kashmir Specific Knowledge (history, geography, culture, polity)
Practise data interpretation on tables, bar charts, pie charts and line graphs, completing 10 sets of 5 questions each within 30 minutes.
Cover simple and compound interest, mixtures, pipes and cisterns, boats and streams, mensuration and basic trigonometry, solving 120 questions across the week.
Learn Jammu and Kashmir geography: the Indus, Jhelum, Chenab and Tawi rivers, the Pir Panjal, Karakoram and Zanskar ranges, and the main passes and lakes.
Memorise all districts, both divisions and the major crops and crafts of each region, testing yourself with a blank map.
Note five numerical topics where accuracy stays below 70% for extra drilling in week 8.
Your checkpoint
A hand-drawn Jammu and Kashmir map labelling the four main rivers, eight passes, five lakes and all districts, plus a 30-question arithmetic and data-interpretation set scored and dated.
Jammu and Kashmir Specific Knowledge (history, geography, culture, polity) & Computer Awareness and Basic IT
Study Jammu and Kashmir history, culture and polity: Dogra rule, the 1947 accession, the 2019 reorganisation and change of status, the legislative assembly, the Lieutenant Governor and the High Court.
List 15 cultural markers of the region, including festivals, Sufi and saint traditions, languages, Pashmina, papier-mache and the major pilgrimage sites, with a one-line note on each.
Cover computer fundamentals: hardware and software, input and output devices, memory types, number systems, operating-system basics and common shortcuts.
Practise Word, Excel and PowerPoint tasks, and revise internet, email, browser, networking and cyber-security and virus basics with 60 MCQs.
Take a combined 40-question test of 30 Jammu and Kashmir questions and 10 computer questions.
Your checkpoint
A combined 40-question Jammu and Kashmir and computer test scored at 80% or above, with a one-page corrections sheet.
General Awareness and Current Affairs & Reasoning and Analytical Ability
Revise the full eight-week current-affairs log in three passes, one for national, one for Jammu and Kashmir, and one for schemes, appointments and awards.
Solve 200 mixed reasoning questions under a 45-second average, prioritising the subtypes still weakest after week 2 and week 3.
Sit three full-length mocks covering all seven domains on alternate days, each followed by a two-hour analysis of every wrong answer.
Re-solve all logged errors from English, law, arithmetic and Jammu and Kashmir, ticking off only those answered correctly twice.
Reduce revision to the formula sheet, the error page and the current-affairs log in the final two days, and fix a sleep and exam-day routine.
Your checkpoint
Three completed full-length mocks with a scored trend line showing the final attempt at or above your target cut-off.
Milestones
Week 2: Reasoning sectional score logged and at least 10 percentage points above the week 1 diagnostic, with the error log naming specific subtypes rather than topics.
Week 4: First full-length mock across current affairs, reasoning and English completed under timed conditions, with section-wise accuracy recorded against the target cut-off.
Week 6: Arithmetic and data-interpretation accuracy holding at 80% or better with an average under 60 seconds per question, and the Jammu and Kashmir map test passed without notes.
Week 8: Third full-length mock scored at or above the target cut-off in every section, with all logged errors re-solved correctly twice.
