It consists of 3 papers i.e. English, General Knowledge and Maths.

Here is the CDS Exam structure :

Today, we will go through step by step planning to become familiar with the structure of exam and get to know the secrets of clearing the exam with ease.

Let’s Get started with Paper 1 which is English.

This is a scoring Paper and one should try his best to extract maximum marks out of it. Here is a look at the blueprint of English Paper

The only way of Scoring maximum in English is by following the Guidelines of FREE Ultimate English e-Book and consistent practicing.

Key is to have a book which not only provides practice questions and solutions but also provides Study material for the concerned section. In short, you need to be aware of Grammar logics before solving spotting errors and sentence improvement. Further, you need to be familiar with phrases, idioms before you start practicing them. You need to have a good knowledge of all the kinds before you start penning down the solutions.

You should have a target of attempting at least 110. Only then you can manage the aggregate required for paper 2. In short, you must score at least 60+ marks in English.

Now comes, Paper 2 which is General Knowledge.

The level of question paper is moderate to tough and it’s toughness is somewhat equivalent to the toughest UPSC exams. You cannot expect answering a single question confidently with a casual preparation for GK. Going through previous year papers alone won’t help you to clear the exam. This does not even mean that you should avoid them. They are definitely beneficial in understanding the structure, it’s just that you cannot expect lot of repeated question in CDSE GK.

There are many aspirants who in zeal of covering everything gets a book of 800-900 pages with fonts so small that it becomes a nuisance. They need to understand that humans cannot store everything in conscious mind, these books act as mini Wikipedia covering a lots of data ignoring the fact that whether or not they are relevant for exam.

Students later realize that it’s not only difficult preparing from these books but also time consuming. Even those who cover everything from these books later realize that they can hardly answer anything on the day of exam.

The sectional cut off for this paper is 20 Marks, In short you need to answer at least 28 questions correctly out of 120 to clear the sectional cutoff. But to everyone’s surprise only a small number manages to score 20+ marks.

HOW SHOULD YOU APPROACH PAPER 2 ?

Let’s take any instance such as History. While learning about Indus valley civilization, knowing about date of excavation, People involved in excavation, time taken to excavate is just farce. You are going to become OFFICERS in INDIAN ARMED FORCES and will be LEADING YOUR MEN, not historians debating with bunch of other historians. Your sole motive should be know enough of relevant history to clear your exam. Your objective should be to know

• WHICH sites were excavated and what were they famous for?
• WHAT were the findings in these civilization?
• WHAT metal did they used?
• WHICH animal were familiar to these people?
• WHAT was the religion of people?

Have a glance at these notes given below:

BINGO !

You have learnt every relevant thing in context to Indus Valley Civilisation. THIS IS CALLED SMART STUDY. Point to point approach is followed everywhere including Politics,Geography, Defence, Economics, Biology, Chemistry, Physics and practical science.
