The approach for PCS paper has to be strategically different from IAS. PCS Prelimins an objective type exam with GS & CSAT. Each paper has 150 questions & there is no negative marking. The cut off is combined & in 2012 the cut off was around 197, so the candidate should aim at 200 marks which is very attainable.
The General Studies Paper asked is very conventional type & thrust areas are History, Geography, Polity, Economy, Science & Punjab. Some questions of Computer are also added. Small part of Current Affairs related to Punjab are also asked. The conventional Subjects should be prepared from basic books. Notes provided at SNM are more than enough to attempt the conventional portion. This part can alternatively be prepared from NCERTs of 10+1 & 10+2. Science part is only of 10th level. However, one should thoroughly & deeply read the study material provided to them. The questions asked are from deep lying facts in the chapters.
In Geography, stress on Indian & Physical Geography is laid. In History, Modern History & History of Punjab is asked more than Ancient & Medieval History. In Economy, basic concepts & section of International Organizations is asked. The Polity questions are totally covered from SNM Study Material. General questions like Current Summits & other events are also asked. A student can easily attempt more than 100 questions. Candidate should not leave even a single question unattempted as there is no negative marking.
CSAT is comparatively easier than GS. Emphasis is more on Reading Comprehension & Reasoning Ability. About two third questions are asked from above two topics & some questions from Punjabi are also asked. Basically, CSAT is a test of speed more than test of skill. The aspirant should practice four or five Mock Tests within stipulated time limit. Again students should not leave any question unattempted as there is no negative marking. Attempting combined Mock Tests will certainly help.
