How to prepare for government recruitment exams

Most recruitment tests have multiple stages — a preliminary screening, a main written exam, and an interview or skill round. The syllabus typically covers reasoning, quantitative aptitude, English language, and general awareness, with section-specific topics added for posts in banking, railways or defence. Standard preparation involves the official syllabus document, previous year question papers, and timed mock tests — all linked from each exam's page.
