Syllabus:
The syllabus is categorized into two. The first test
is on mathematics and the second examines the candidate’s general knowledge.
Out of the 900 marks, one has to obtain at least 500 to be eligible for the
next round. Thus, one has to learn to study methodically and should devote 4-5
hours every day. It’s better to consult the papers of the previous year to find
out the topics which will be given more weight-age.
For the mathematics paper, one has to study NCERT
books. They have to be proficient in the 11th and 12th
syllabus as concepts like trigonometry, calculus, probability, integration,
differentiation and matrices will be asked. These are the concepts where most
of the marks will be concentrated on.
Solving at least 50-60 questions on each topic
The general knowledge paper is subdivided further to
incorporate three more subjects. The first paper tests the Basic English of an individual.
One has to have a rich vocabulary of at least 2000 words. Antonyms, synonyms
and grammar are the three most emphasized areas of the test. One has to read
the dictionary everyday and build those words in their sentences. The
difficulty level of the paper is average and it consists of 200 marks.
Next comes the General Science section, where the
papers attempted will be physics, chemistry, biology and few general facts of
science. Being up-to-date with the 11th and 12th syllabus is
sufficient to skive through this section effortlessly.
The final section is on geography, history and current
affairs. For this, one should not confine themselves to books but religiously
read newspapers every day. The chief topics in the geography section are longitudes
and latitudes, tropical forests, folk
music and folk dances. Being well versed about the Indian revolt of
1857 and the freedom struggle is very important. In addition to this, one
should have a brief knowledge of the Indian Constitution.
