- Daily reasoning practice — puzzles, seating arrangements, coding-decoding.
Weeks 2–3: Practice & Mock Tests
- Start sectional mock tests twice a week.
- Analyse mistakes and maintain an error log for revision.
- Increase speed with timed quizzes and shortcuts for arithmetic.
Weeks 3–4: Revision & Full-Length Mocks
- Attempt full-length mock tests every 3–4 days.
- Focus revision on weak sections and high-weight topics.
Weeks 4–5: Final Touches
- Light revision, last-minute formula sheets, and mental conditioning.

Topic-wise Focus Areas

- Reasoning: Logical reasoning, puzzles, syllogism, coding-decoding, seating arrangements.
- Hindi/Language Proficiency: Comprehension, grammar, sentence correction, antonyms/synonyms.
PET / PST — What To Expect
PET and PST are qualifying in nature. Typical events include running (short-distance & long-distance), long jump, and high jump. Physical standards such as height and chest (for males) differ by category. Exact standards will be published in the official notification. Tips:

Common Mistakes to Avoid
