Which teacher is best for this topic?

Hey there everyone, 23 M here. After multiple Conference outs in CDS and AFCAT SSBs, I'm now looking for financial independence and have chosen CGL as my path towards that objective. Finishing my MSc in Physics this month and ready to dedicate time towards CGL. What are the things I should know, mistakes to avoid and what is the average time required for this exam's prep. I'll be really glad if you people could help..cheers.

Problem in maths subject

I am a non-maths background student. When i decided to start the preparation for the ssc exam I took Gagan Pratap sir batch . But the problem is I did not understand anything .

Percentage chapter se start kiye par 5 class tak dekhe aur kuch bhi samjh nahi aaya .

Ab mujhe samjh nahi araha hai ke koi dusare teacher se padho ya phir mere m koi problem.

Like mera dimag maths ke liye nhi bana hai.. aur maths ek important subject hai kar paper m aata hai.

I’m currently preparing English vocab for SSC/RRB exams and I wanted some genuine advice from people who have already gone through this phase

Right now I am doing:

- OWS (One Word Substitution)

- Idioms & Phrases

But I feel very bored and overwhelmed while doing Synonyms & Antonyms because they feel endless and lengthy.

So I wanted to ask:

1. What is the best way to prepare Synonyms & Antonyms for SSC level exams?

2. Do you guys learn them randomly, topic-wise, root-wise, or alphabetically?

3. Is it okay to first focus on the most asked/top 100-200 words instead of trying to cover everything?

4. What is the smartest way to revise vocab so that words actually stay in memory?

5. Besides Synonyms, Antonyms, OWS, and Idioms, what other vocab topics should I prepare for SSC/RRB exams?

6. How do you manage such huge vocab portions without getting mentally exhausted?

You can answer in Hindi/Hinglish as well.

how to prepare for general awareness??
pls suggest books for :

1. history
   2.polity
2. geo
3. economics

I am currently wokring in an IT job 6-8LPA range and want to pursue mba from top B schools but my parents keep insisting me(mostly when they see my sometime work on weekends and night)to write govt exams especially ssc cgl and in their opinion private jobs at the end of the day are not stable and worthy....but I think the salary and benifits in govt jobs are not that impressive honestly especially B grade jobs.

Hi I wanted some honest guidance from you regarding career direction and SSC CGL preparation.

I’m from a tier-3 college and currently in my final year. I learned MERN stack, built full-stack projects, and prepared seriously for developer roles. But the current IT market feels very difficult for freshers, especially off-campus. Compared to earlier mass hiring periods, opportunities now seem much lower and getting interviews has become very difficult.

Because of this uncertainty, I’ve started thinking seriously about government exams like SSC CGL too. I belong to the EWS category, but before making any major decision, I wanted honest guidance from someone who has already gone through the SSC CGL journey.

I wanted to ask:

• how difficult is the journey realistically,
• how much consistency is needed,
• how long preparation usually takes,
• and whether switching now would be practical or not.

Would really appreciate your honest advice whenever you’re free.

Heyy I've just started my prep and I am very confused as to what to study, from where and most importantly I cannot figure out when the application will be open for the exam.

Hi everyone,

I’m preparing for SSC CGL and I already have lectures of Bhutesh Sir, but I’m confused about how to properly follow them for Prelims preparation

I wanted to ask:

Which batch/course of Bhutesh Sir is best specifically for SSC CGL Pre?

Should I follow full-length lectures or one-shot/revision classes first?

How do you guys make notes from his classes?

Do you solve questions side by side or complete lectures first?

Is it enough for Arithmetic + Advanced Maths for CGL Pre?

I sometimes feel lost because there’s so much content and I don’t know the correct sequence to follow.

If anyone has studied from him and scored well, please guide me with a proper approach/timetable

Would really appreciate honest advice from experienced aspirants. 🙏
