JKSSB Class-IV and MTS 30-Day Study Plan: A Day-by-Day Schedule

The JKSSB Class-IV and Multi-Tasking Staff recruitments draw some of the largest numbers of applicants, so the written test is competitive even though the paper is set at a basic level. This 30-day plan is built around the paper's structure: basic mathematics, basic reasoning, basic English, and general awareness and science, which carries the most marks.

Before you start

• Plan for about three hours a day. If you have more time, add it to general awareness
• Take one diagnostic test on day 1 to see your starting point
• Keep one notebook for mistakes. Write each wrong question and the rule behind the right answer

Week 1 (days 1 to 7): Foundation

• Day 1: diagnostic test, then list your three weakest topics in each subject
• Days 2 and 3: J&K history, from the Dogra rule to 1947, with a short quiz each evening
• Day 4: J&K geography: mountain ranges, passes and climate
• Day 5: percentage and average, 20 questions
• Day 6: English: articles and prepositions, 20 questions
• Day 7: reasoning: analogy and classification, plus a revision of the week's mistakes

Week 2 (days 8 to 14): Broaden

• Day 8: J&K rivers and lakes and tourist places
• Day 9: J&K culture, festivals and handicrafts
• Day 10: ratio and proportion, and profit and loss
• Day 11: English: synonyms, antonyms and spotting errors
• Day 12: reasoning: series and coding-decoding
• Day 13: general science: energy, light, electricity and diseases
• Day 14: a sectional test on your weakest subject, then review

Week 3 (days 15 to 21): Strengthen

• Day 15: the Reorganisation Act 2019 and J&K administration
• Day 16: time and work, and speed, distance and time
• Day 17: English: sentence improvement and one-word substitution
• Day 18: reasoning: blood relations and direction sense
• Day 19: Indian history and the freedom movement basics
• Day 20: Indian geography and the Constitution basics
• Day 21: a full-length mock in the exam's time, then a long review

Week 4 (days 22 to 30): Practise and revise

• Days 22 and 23: revise J&K general awareness from your notes and retest the questions you got wrong
• Day 24: mensuration, LCM and HCF, and simplification
• Day 25: reasoning: ranking and Venn diagrams
• Day 26: English: idioms and vocabulary
• Days 27 and 28: a full-length mock on each day, with review
• Day 29: revise the mistake notebook and the formula sheet
• Day 30: rest, light revision and exam-day preparation, such as admit card, ID and route to the centre

General awareness carries the most marks

General awareness and science carries 40 of the 100 marks in the pattern we described. If you have spare hours, put them into J&K GK and general science. A few extra correct answers in this section can decide whether you qualify.

Weekly checks

• End of week 1: you can finish a 20-question arithmetic set in 20 minutes with at least 60% accuracy
• End of week 2: your J&K GK sets are above 60%
• End of week 3: your mock score is steady, with the lowest section within 5 marks of the highest
• End of week 4: you finish a full mock with time to review

If you fall behind

Do not double your hours. Remove one low-value topic and keep the daily mistake review. A plan that is 80% complete with daily retests beats a full plan that you abandon.

Start with the Class-IV and MTS diagnostic test, follow the syllabus guide, and use the full-length mocks.

Questions candidates ask

What if I work during the day? Study in two blocks of 90 minutes, one morning and one evening, and use weekends for mocks.

Which section should I put first? General awareness and science, since it carries 40 marks in the pattern described.

How do I stay consistent? Use a simple checklist and mark each day when you finish the plan.
