📚 How to Prepare for SSC Exams Based on This Calendar
Now that the dates are officially out, here are some tips to plan your preparation:
1. Divide the Year by Exam Goals

- April to July: CGL, CHSL, Steno
- August to November: MTS, JE, Delhi Police
- October to March: GD Constable, Departmental Exams
2. Start Mock Tests at Least 3 Months Before

3. Follow a Tiered Preparation Approach
- Tier I (CGL/CHSL): Emphasize on reasoning, math, English and GK.
- Tier II (CGL): Focus on deeper numerical ability and statistics.
- Skill Tests: Start typing practice for CHSL/SSC Steno 2–3 months ahead.
4. Join Telegram & WhatsApp Groups
Stay updated with exam news, study materials and discussion channels.
