Exam Analysis & Strategy for 342 Posts
Now that you have seen the level of the exam, here is a quick analysis to help you prepare for the upcoming 2025 exam:
1. Computer Section is the Game Changer As you noticed in the paper above, the “Basic Concepts of Computers” section is relatively straightforward. For 20 marks, questions often revolve around MS Office shortcuts (Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V), Input/Output devices, and basic internet terminology. Scoring 18+ here is essential.
2. Focus on J&K General Awareness Out of the 20 marks in the GK section, usually 10-12 questions are directly related to J&K History, Geography, and the J&K Reorganization Act. Do not ignore the “District-wise” GK of J&K.
3. Speed in Reasoning The Numerical and Reasoning section is not about knowing the answer, but finding it quickly. Topics like Number Series, Coding-Decoding, and Blood Relations appeared frequently in the paper above. Practice these daily to improve your speed.
