Follow it week by week: speed base, reasoning scoring topics, arithmetic, puzzles, DI, then three weeks of mocks and repair. Start Mains topics (banking, current affairs, computer) by week 5, and stretch the plan if you have more time.
The plan is built for Prelims first, then widened for Mains. It puts the highest-scoring topics early and leaves the last three weeks for mocks.
The eight weeks at a glance
| Week | Focus |
|---|---|
| 1 | Speed base: squares to 30, cubes to 20, percentage-fraction table; simplification and approximation daily; 1 RC a day |
| 2 | Reasoning scoring set: inequality, syllogism, alphanumeric series, coding; start linear seating |
| 3 | Arithmetic core (percentage, ratio, profit and loss, SI/CI, average); error detection and fillers |
| 4 | Puzzles (circular, floor, box) timed at 5-6 minutes; number series; first mini mock |
| 5 | DI types and remaining arithmetic; para jumbles and cloze |
| 6 | Three full Prelims mocks; redo mistakes before each next mock |
| 7 | Fix weak spots from the dashboard; mock every other day |
| 8 | Mock a day at your exam slot; light revision; sleep well |
Adjusting it
- More than 8 weeks: make each of weeks 1-5 last 10-14 days.
- Less than 8 weeks: merge weeks 1-2 and 3-5, and start mocks by week 3.
- Working: treat each "week" as 10 days.
Mains topics
From week 5, add static banking and RBI (20 minutes a day), current affairs of the last six months from a monthly source, MS Office, networking and security, and logical reasoning. After Prelims, these take the larger share of your day.
A day inside the plan
A typical day while following the plan: about 2 hours Quant, 2 hours Reasoning, 1 hour English, and from week 5 one hour of GA or computer. On mock days, the mock and its analysis replace the morning topic block.
