SJVN JFE & FE study plan

Map the Technical syllabus into a one-page checklist of sub-areas (electrical machines, power systems, transmission and distribution, protection, thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, strength of materials, surveying, concrete and steel design, basic electronics, instrumentation and control) and rate your confidence 1-5 on each

Re-derive the core electrical fundamentals from memory: Ohm's law, Kirchhoff's laws, series-parallel networks, star-delta transformation, and single-phase and three-phase power relationships

Solve 30 numerical problems on DC circuits and AC single-phase RLC series and parallel circuits, timing each set and logging errors by cause (concept, formula, arithmetic, unit)

Build a formula sheet for domain 1 in your own handwriting covering the first four electrical sub-areas, limited to one side per sub-area

Work through transformer principles: EMF equation, equivalent circuit, losses, efficiency, regulation, and parallel operation, then solve 15 problems across those ideas

Explain the construction, torque production, slip, and starting methods of induction motors and the operating characteristics of DC machines and synchronous machines in writing, without notes

Calculate transmission line parameters (resistance, inductance, capacitance), voltage regulation, and efficiency for short and medium lines, solving 12 problems

Draw from memory the single-line diagram of a generation-transmission-distribution chain and label the standard voltage levels and equipment used at each stage

Solve 20 problems on protection and switchgear: relay types, CT and PT ratios, circuit breaker ratings, and fault current calculation for simple radial systems

Apply thermodynamic first and second laws to Rankine, Brayton, and Otto cycles, computing efficiency for each in at least 10 problems

Compute flow rate, head loss, and pump or turbine power using Bernoulli's equation and Darcy-Weisbach friction in 10 fluid mechanics problems

Compute stress, strain, bending moment, and deflection for simply supported and cantilever beams in 10 strength-of-materials problems

Complete 15 problems on surveying (leveling, traversing, bearings), concrete mix and steel design basics, and estimation, then list the standard code provisions you applied

Review basic electronics and instrumentation: diode circuits, rectifiers, transistor biasing, op-amp configurations, transducer types, and measurement error, solving 15 questions

Take a timed 60-question Technical mock test under exam conditions and analyze it by sub-area, recording time per question and the top five recurring mistakes

Start quantitative aptitude with ratios, percentages, averages, and profit and loss, solving 40 questions with a calculator-free time limit

Drill quantitative aptitude topics of time-speed-distance, time and work, mixtures, simple and compound interest, and mensuration, solving 60 questions in timed blocks of 10

Practice reasoning sets on series completion, coding-decoding, blood relations, direction sense, syllogisms, and seating arrangement, completing 50 questions

Revise English grammar rules for subject-verb agreement, tenses, articles, prepositions, and common confusions, then apply them to 40 error-spotting and fill-in-the-blank items

Build a personal vocabulary log of 60 words drawn from previous reading, each with meaning and one original sentence

Rework every sub-area flagged below 60 percent in week 4, solving 30 fresh problems and re-deriving the underlying formulas from first principles

Complete 40 data interpretation and simplification questions using approximation and elimination techniques under a 45-second-per-question cap

Practice non-verbal and logical reasoning: figure series, mirror and water images, paper folding, statement-conclusion, and assumption-based questions, 40 items

Take a second timed Technical mock of 60 questions and compare sub-area accuracy against the week 4 baseline

Consolidate general awareness in power sector and national current affairs: major hydro and thermal projects, renewable capacity trends, grid and transmission initiatives, and key appointments and schemes of the past 12 months

Review static general awareness on Indian polity, geography, history, and basic science, writing 80 one-line facts from memory

Complete 50 English reading comprehension and cloze-test questions with a strict eight-minute-per-passage limit

Take a full-length timed mock covering all three domains and record section-wise time allocation and attempt strategy

Re-solve every question missed across all previous mocks, without looking at solutions first, until each is correct unaided

Revise the hand-written formula sheets and fact logs at spaced intervals on days 1, 3, and 5, reciting each formula aloud from memory

Take two final full-length mocks on separate days and hold section-wise accuracy above your week 7 baseline in every domain

Finalize exam-day logistics: confirm the admit card, ID, reporting time, allowed items, and a written per-section time budget
