Kerala PSC Degree Level study plan

Kerala PSC Degree Level · Give each week a clear focus.

8 weeks · About 7 hours per week

Week 1

General Knowledge and Current Affairs & Malayalam Language (regional language option)

  • Set up a daily 20-minute current-affairs routine using one newspaper editorial page plus one monthly compilation, and log every item under six fixed headings: polity, economy, science, sports, awards and Kerala.

  • Take a 100-question mixed diagnostic covering domains 1 to 5 and tabulate accuracy separately for each domain so later weeks target the weakest area first.

  • Condense Malayalam sandhi, samasam and padas into a single A4 sheet written in your own words, with two examples each.

  • Collect 15 Malayalam administrative and PSC-style terms from a notification or editorial and write one-line meanings for each.

Your checkpoint

A one-page GK syllabus map plus a scored diagnostic report listing accuracy percentage for each of domains 1 to 5.

Week 2

General Knowledge and Current Affairs & Mental Ability and Reasoning

  • Drill the static GK blocks that repeat across question papers: awards and honours, books and authors, sports championships, national symbols and space or defence missions.

  • Solve 120 reasoning questions on series (number and letter), coding-decoding, blood relations and direction sense, timing each set.

  • Learn 25 current affairs items specific to Kerala: state schemes launched, appointments and infrastructure projects of the past 12 months.

Fifty reasoning questions solved in 40 minutes at 70% or higher accuracy, with a written error log of every miss.

  • Work through time and work, pipes and cisterns, speed and distance, trains and boats, profit and loss, and mensuration with timed 10-question sets.

Your checkpoint

A timed 25-question aptitude plus 25-question computer mock, both scored, with subtopic accuracy recorded.
