Why track the Lok Sewa syllabus topic by topic?
Lok Sewa written exams are built directly from the syllabus. Every objective question in the preliminary paper maps to a unit in the पाठ्यक्रम, and the subjective papers ask from the same units. Aspirants who fail usually did not run out of motivation – they ran out of time with whole units untouched. A topic-level checklist makes the gaps visible weeks before the exam instead of the night before.
How to read your progress
- Overall % – topics ticked out of all topics for your exam.
- Per paper/section bars – the syllabus is grouped the way the commission groups it (for example General Knowledge, Intelligence Quotient, Constitution, Current Affairs). Balance these – the exam does.
- Unit counts – a unit with many topics deserves more days in your plan.
A simple weekly routine
- Pick two units with the lowest progress and study them this week.
- Practise their questions on topic-wise practice and tick the topics you scored well on.
- End the week with one full mock exam and the Friday live exam.
- Revise wrong answers in the Mistake Notebook.
Want the weeks laid out automatically? The Study Planner spreads your syllabus across the weeks left until your exam date using the official question weightage. Check upcoming exam dates on the PSC calendar, and read the full syllabus on the syllabus page.
Common mistakes
- Ticking a topic after reading once – tick only after you can answer its questions.
- Ignoring current affairs and IQ – they carry a fixed share of marks in most preliminary papers.
- Following an old syllabus – commissions revise syllabi; confirm the year printed on the official PDF.
