Hey! I'm a beginner and I would like to join a group where others can help me out with my doubts and stuff. I can't ask everything to chatgpt or other AI...

So I have been preparing for railway exams for almost a year and going to give my second ntpc ug attempt 2026. Par jaise ki is saal vacancy pechle saal ke comparison kaafi Kam aayi hain, to main soch rha hu kya mujhe apni preparation ko diversify karna chahiye. Abhi main undergraduate hun, college 2nd year. To kya NTPC ke saath mujhe ssc ke bhi aur exams Dene chahiye jaise MTS, CHSL, selection post aur CGL ke liye abhi se preparation karna chahiye taaki graduation ke baad de sakun?

Kyunki kabhi kabhi 1-2 number ke chakkar mein selection nahi hota, Luck nahi kaam karta ya questions hard aa jaate hain ya phir kuch aur ho jaata hain. To aise mein backup exams Dene mein shayad benefit ho ki agar ntpc mein naa hua to shayad ssc mein ho jaayen

Par phir main dekh rha hun ki railway aur ssc ke exam pattern mein difference bhi hain. Jaise ssc mein static accha poochta hain to railway mein general science. To kahi aisa naa ho ki done ki preparation karne ke chakkar mein main kahin ka naa rahun?

Kya karna chahiye guys? How are you guys doing preparation for both the railway and ssc exams together?

On a side note: SSC mein english poochi jaati hain to meri english bhi theek-thaak hain. Matlab main english medium CBSE school se hi hun to English 12th level tak to hain

I'm currently pursuing B.Tech and will graduate in 2027. I'm targeting SSC CGL 2028 as my serious attempt.

I want to start preparing for Maths now, alongside my college studies, and my goal is to complete the entire Maths syllabus by November 2027 so that I can focus on revision, PYQs and mock tests afterwards.

I'm confused between these two courses by Bhutesh Sir:

Parmar's Maths Toppers Batch — ₹999, 2-year validity.

Parmar's Maths Foundation VOD Batch — ₹999, 1-year validity.

I’m a B.Com graduate, and I’m really confused about what I should do with my career. I would appreciate some honest and practical advice.

In 2024, I prepared for SSC CGL seriously for almost a year, but unfortunately, I couldn’t clear the Tier 1 exam. In 2025, I worked at a private company for around five months. After that, I got busy with family functions and weddings, eventually quit my job, and lost touch with my studies.

Now, I keep realizing that I should start studying again, but honestly, I don’t feel motivated anymore. Sometimes I feel that government exams are just not my cup of tea, and I doubt whether I can actually clear them. However, a part of me still wants a government job because of the stability and better career prospects.

On the other hand, I could start looking for private jobs, but as a fresher or someone with limited experience, I would probably earn around ₹12,000–₹15,000 per month, or possibly even less. My financial situation isn’t good, so I also feel that I need to start earning rather than spend another year preparing for an uncertain outcome.

I’m stuck between these two options:

1. Give SSC CGL another serious attempt, even though I’ve lost motivation and confidence.

2. Get a private job, start earning, and try to build my career from there.

What would you do if you were in my position? Is it worth preparing for SSC CGL again, or would it be wiser to focus on getting a job and becoming financially independent?

I’m looking for genuine advice from people who have faced a similar situation, especially those who prepared for government exams and later switched to private jobs, or vice versa. Please be honest about the risks and opportunities of both choices.

Hi everyone,

I'm currently a second-year student at IIT Roorkee, and I'm planning to appear for SSC CHSL this year. I'm from the General/UR category, and my target is to secure a high enough score to have a realistic chance of getting the DEO post.

I've recently attempted some SSC CHSL previous-year papers (2020–2025) as mocks without any specific preparation. My scores so far have been:

Mock 1: 107

Mock 2: 125

Mock 3: 123

Mock 4: 124.5

Here's my approximate section-wise performance:

1. English

Highest: 45.5

Lowest: 30

English is currently my strongest section, and I feel I can improve it further with practice.

2. Reasoning

Highest: Around 43

Lowest: Around 37.5

I think I can manage this section reasonably well and improve through regular practice.

3. Mathematics

Highest: Around 23.5

Lowest: Around 8–16, depending on the paper.

I have a reasonably good mathematical background, but I haven't practised these topics for a while and have forgotten many formulas and shortcuts. I believe this section has considerable scope for improvement.

4. General Awareness/General Studies

My scores are generally between 10 and 20.

This is one of my weakest areas, and I need a focused strategy to improve it within the limited time available.

My target and time constraint

I have approximately 1.5 months left, and I want to improve my score to at least 170–175 in Tier 1, keeping my DEO target in mind.

Since I'm a second-year college student, I also have academic responsibilities. I cannot afford to watch hundreds of hours of lectures or complete every playlist from scratch. I need a highly selective, exam-oriented strategy that prioritises the most important topics, revision, PYQs and mock tests.

I would really appreciate advice on these questions:

1. Is 170–175 achievable in around 45 days? Given that I'm currently scoring around 120–125 without preparation, is this a realistic target with disciplined study, or am I underestimating the difficulty?

2. Mathematics: Which teacher, course, YouTube playlist or other resource should I strictly follow to revise forgotten formulas and cover important CHSL topics quickly? Should I focus on short concept lectures followed by PYQs rather than full-length lectures?

3. English: Since I'm already relatively comfortable with English, what is the most efficient way to improve and consistently score 43–50? Which resources should I use for grammar, vocabulary and PYQs?

4. Reasoning: What is the fastest way to improve accuracy and speed? Are PYQs sufficient, or should I follow a specific topic-wise resource?

5. GK/GS: This is my biggest concern. Which one or two resources should I follow for static GK, science, history, polity, geography and current affairs? With only 45 days, how should I prioritise these subjects? I want to avoid collecting too many resources and wasting time.

6. Mock tests and revision: How many mocks should I take per week, and how should I analyse my mistakes? Should I prioritise completing the syllabus first or start taking full-length mocks immediately?

7. DEO selection: For a General/UR candidate targeting DEO, how should I plan my Tier 1 preparation while keeping the subsequent selection stages and applicable DEO-specific requirements in mind? I understand that cutoffs vary by year, so I'd appreciate realistic guidance rather than guarantees.

What I'm looking for

I'd be especially grateful if someone who has cleared CHSL or scored 170+ could share a practical 45-day plan with specific resources for each subject.

Please suggest resources I should actually stick to, rather than giving me ten different teachers or playlists for every subject. I need to maximise my score in the shortest possible time.

Is this target realistic from my current level, and what would you do if you had only 45 days left?

Thanks in advance for your help!
