THDC JE study plan
THDC JE · Give each week a clear focus.
8 weeks · About 7 hours per week
Engineering Discipline (Civil / Electrical / Mechanical / Electronics & Instrumentation) - technical core
Map the full Domain 1 syllabus for your chosen discipline branch and rate each subtopic as strong, weak, or unknown before studying anything
Build a one-page formula and standard-value sheet for your branch (e.g. bending moment and shear formulas, cable sizing and voltage drop, thermal efficiency, sensor transfer functions)
Solve 20 core numericals from your strongest subtopic to calibrate difficulty and timing per question
Start a mistake log with columns for topic, error type, and the corrected rule
Your checkpoint
A completed self-rating sheet covering every Domain 1 subtopic plus a formula sheet you can revise from in under 10 minutes
Engineering Discipline (Civil / Electrical / Mechanical / Electronics & Instrumentation) - technical core
Work through the two weakest Domain 1 subtopics using worked examples before attempting unsolved problems
Practice 30 mixed Domain 1 questions under a 35-minute timer to build exam pace
Re-derive rather than memorize the five formulas you got wrong most often in week 1
Explain three key concepts aloud in plain language to confirm real understanding
Your checkpoint
A timed 30-question Domain 1 set scored and fully corrected, with every error traced to a named concept gap
Engineering Discipline (Civil / Electrical / Mechanical / Electronics & Instrumentation) - technical core
Cover the remaining Domain 1 subtopics, prioritizing ones that appear in both theory and numerical form
Solve 15 design or estimation style problems that combine two concepts in a single question
Review the mistake log and re-solve every logged question without looking at the solution
Draft a 20-line summary of standards, codes, and typical values you keep forgetting
Your checkpoint
Full first pass through Domain 1 complete, with at least 80 percent of logged week-1 errors re-solved correctly
Engineering Discipline (Civil / Electrical / Mechanical / Electronics & Instrumentation) - technical core & Quantitative Aptitude and Numerical Ability
Take a 60-question Domain 1 mock and analyze it by subtopic to find residual weak areas
Learn and drill shortcut methods for percentages, ratios, averages, and time-work problems
Solve 40 aptitude questions with a strict 45-second average per question
Memorize the squares to 30, cubes to 15, and fraction-to-percentage conversions you use most
Your checkpoint
A Domain 1 mock score plus a written list of the three subtopics that still cost you the most marks, with a fix plan for each
Quantitative Aptitude and Numerical Ability & Reasoning and General Intelligence
Drill arithmetic word problems in timed blocks of 10 to build accuracy before speed
Practice series completion, coding-decoding, and blood-relation reasoning in alternating sets
Learn to solve seating arrangement and puzzle sets with a diagram-first method
Review every wrong aptitude and reasoning answer and classify it as concept gap, misread, or time pressure
Your checkpoint
Two timed 25-question sets, one aptitude and one reasoning, each scored above 70 percent with corrections written out
Reasoning and General Intelligence & General Awareness, Current Affairs and General Knowledge
Work through non-verbal reasoning types including figure series, mirror images, and embedded figures using a rule checklist
Build a current-affairs timeline covering the last 12 months of national infrastructure, power, and policy news relevant to THDC's sector
Revise static general knowledge on Indian geography, rivers, dams, and major power projects
Take a 30-question mixed reasoning and awareness quiz and log recurring weak areas
Your checkpoint
A one-page current-affairs and static-GK revision sheet plus a scored mixed quiz with weak areas flagged
English Language and Comprehension & Basic Computer Knowledge and Awareness
Practice grammar and error-spotting sets covering subject-verb agreement, tenses, prepositions, and articles
Complete reading comprehension passages under a 6-minute-per-passage limit and note where you lose time
Revise computer fundamentals: hardware, operating systems, MS Office basics, internet and email, and common shortcuts
Take a 20-question computer awareness quiz and correct every miss
Your checkpoint
A scored English and computer combined set plus a personal list of the 15 grammar rules and 15 computer facts you most often forget
Engineering Discipline (Civil / Electrical / Mechanical / Electronics & Instrumentation) - technical core & Quantitative Aptitude and Numerical Ability & Reasoning and General Intelligence
Take two full-length mocks in exam conditions and analyze section-wise accuracy and time allocation
Re-solve every question in your mistake log one final time without hints
Revise only your formula sheet, current-affairs sheet, and grammar and computer lists in the final three days
Fix your exam-day order of attempting sections based on mock performance data
Your checkpoint
Two full-length mock scores with a written section-order strategy and a final one-page revision sheet for exam eve
Milestones
Week 2: You can solve a mixed 30-question Domain 1 set at exam pace with at least 60 percent accuracy and every error logged
Week 4: Domain 1 first pass is complete and a 60-question mock shows no subtopic below 40 percent accuracy
Week 6: Aptitude and reasoning timed sets both score above 70 percent, and your current-affairs sheet covers the last 12 months
Week 8: Full-length mocks show steady improvement over week 4, and you have a fixed section-order strategy plus a one-page exam-eve revision sheet
