📅 70 Days Study Plan
🔹 Phase 1: (Day 1–30) – Foundation + Syllabus Covering
4–6 hours daily
Morning: 2 hr Math + 1 hr Reasoning
Afternoon: 1.5 hr Science
Evening: 1 hr GK/CA
Night: 1 Mock test (30 min) + Review
🔹 Phase 2: (Day 31–50) – Advance Practice + PYQs
Daily 1 full mock test (90 min)
Analysis of weak topics
Revise formulas, tricks, science facts
Current Affairs update
🔹 Phase 3: (Day 51–70) – Revision + Test Series
Daily 2 Mock Tests (1 morning, 1 evening)
Only revision + practice
Short notes revise (formulas, GK, CA)
Focus on accuracy + speed
✅ Best Approach to Crack
1. Start from PYQs – Railway exams repeat questions.
2. Make Formula/Trick Copy – Maths & Reasoning ke liye.
3. NCERT Science (6–10) quick revision – factual questions aate hain.
4. Daily Current Affairs – last 6 months ka strong hold.
5. Mock Tests = Game Changer – har test ke baad analysis.
6. Time Management in Exam – Pehle Maths + Reasoning, fir Science + GK attempt.

Reasoning (30%) — sabse zyada weightage
Science (25%) & Maths (25%) — dono moderate weightage
GA/CA (20%) — comparatively thoda kam, par overall important hai
2. Topic-wise Weightage (Expected, Based on Analysis)
2A. Mathematics
Arithmetic & basic topics dominate:
Arithmetic (Percentage, Profit-Loss, T&S, Time-Work, SI-CI, etc.): 30-40%
Algebra: 25-30%
Geometry & Mensuration: 10-12%
Trigonometry: 10-15%
Data Interpretation: 15-20%
Alternate breakdown (topic-wise):
Profit/Loss: 3-4, Time-Speed-Distance: 2-4, SI/CI: 1-2, Time-Work: 2-3, Geometry: 1-2, DI:
2-3, Ages: 1-2, Percentage: 2-3, Miscellaneous: 5-6 Prepp
2B. General Intelligence & Reasoning
Key topics aur inka expected weightage:
Analogy: 7-8 (sabse zyada)
Syllogism: 4-5
Odd One Out: 3-4
Coding-Decoding: 2-3
Venn Diagram: 2-3
Mathematical Calculation: 2-3
Mirror Image: 1-2
Directions: 1-2
Series / Statement & Conclusion: around 1-2 each
Miscellaneous: baaki coverage Prepp
2C. General Science
Class 10 level science topics:
Physics: 9-11 marks
Biology: 8-11 marks
Chemistry: 7-9 marks Prepp
2D. General Awareness & Current Affairs
Expected weightage:
Current Affairs: 8-9
Miscellaneous (Polity, Awards, etc.): 4-5
History & Geography: 2-3 each
Sports: 2-3
Economy / Appointments: 1-2 each Prepp
3. Previous Year Trends – Most Asked Chapters
Based on analysis of past papers:
Mathematics: Number System, Percentage, Time & Work, Profit & Loss, Algebra,
Geometry frequently appear
Reasoning: Analogies, Coding-Decoding, Syllogism, Blood Relations, Venn Diagrams
often recur
General Science: Physics (motion, laws), Chemistry (reactions, acids-bases), Biology
(human systems) are common topics
GA/CA: Mostly Current Affairs, followed by History, Polity, Geography, Economics
TestbookShiksha
Example from section-wise analysis:
Maths topics: Number System, Percentage, Time & Work, etc.
Reasoning topics: Coding-Decoding, Blood Relation, Series
Science topics: Electricity, Chemical Reactions, etc.
GA: IPL winners, Finance Commission, environment topics, etc. Shiksha+1
4. Strategy Based on Weightage & PYQs
1. Daily Focus on High-Yield Topics
Maths: Arithmetic (especially Profit/Loss, Time-Speed, SI-CI) + Algebra + DI
Reasoning: Analogies, Coding-Decoding, Syllogism, Venn Diagram
2. Science: Balanced prep for all three. Focus slightly more on Physics & Biology given
higher marks.
3. Current Affairs: Daily CA reading (last 6-8 months, Railway-specific, awards, sports).
4. Mock Tests + Topic Revision
Weekly mock test + analyze mistakes
Revise formulas, reasoning shortcuts, science facts, GK notes before exam.
