• Salary: Set by each state’s pay matrix, so check the notification.

• Selection: State PSCs usually run Prelims, Mains and an interview. Police recruitment adds physical tests. TETs are eligibility tests, and the final recruitment is separate.

How to Prepare Smartly

• Let’s start with the common core: Quantitative Aptitude, Reasoning, English and General Awareness can be found in SSC, Banking, Railway and State examinations. One good base can cater to several examinations.

• Focus on one primary and one or two secondary examinations: Like, for instance, taking up CSE only is very risky; while CSE along with State PSC makes up for a back-up with the same syllabus.

• Do timed mocks: It’s more important to be accurate within the time limit rather than completing the entire syllabus.

• Study current affairs daily, consider Dedicate 30 to 45 minutes every day and take notes. 

• Be sure about your eligibility considering You may be disqualified on age, attempts, or educational grounds in the later stages of the examination process.
