How to Actually Get Started (Without Losing Your Mind)
Let me give it to you straight: govt job exams are no joke. But if you start with a plan, you’re already ahead.
Step-by-step plan:
- Get Your Docs Ready: Scan your marksheets, Aadhaar, photo, and signature.
- Professional Email ID: Keep one just for job applications.
- Set Job Alerts: Use apps or sites that ONLY send official updates (avoid scammy forwards!).
- Choose One Exam: Download the syllabus, read it like you mean it, and start prep.
Let’s Talk About Reality (Yep, It’s Competitive)
You’re not the only one applying. But don’t let that scare you. Everyone starts somewhere. Focus on consistency. 2 hours daily beats 12 hours once a week.
Also—scams are real. Never pay money to anyone who promises you a job. All real applications happen on .gov.in or .nic.in sites.
