Tips To Prepare For Clerk Written Exam
Now that you know the clerk exam pattern and syllabus, it’s time for you to begin your preparations. Here are some tips to get you started:-
Study from NCERT
Since the questions will come from the CBSE syllabus, therefore, it is very important to study from the NCERT books. Instead of investing your time and money in other books, you should first try to complete the NCERT books.
Not all the books of all the classes, but class 9th and 10th books will be more than enough if you do prepare them well. But, if you are running out of time, then you can just prepare from class 10th books. If you do prepare the NCERT well, then you will not need to read other books except for the GK part.
Study according to plan
Our minds work better when things are organized. So, it is crucial to have a study plan for yourself. Make a proper timetable according to which you should study.
First of all, you will need to become habitual to studying until the written exam. If you can’t sit to study for a long time period, then don’t! just sit for short intervals like 30 to 45 minutes. But do it regularly, when you start getting comfortable with it, then you can increase the time limit. Taking things slow is the best way to get control over yourself.
Set a particular time to study, when you do one thing at the same time regularly, then your body and mind adjust themselves to that routine and this will help you focus better.
Read newspaper
Newspapers are a great source of knowledge, not only do they make you aware of what’s happening around you, but also add to general knowledge, and benefits you in lots of other ways. All successful people start their day by reading the newspaper.
50% of your general knowledge topics will be covered if you read the newspaper daily. So, make it a habit of reading the newspaper every day (preferably English). It’s not important that you should do it in the morning, but any time of the day.
Prepare for English
Having a good grip on English is very important to crack the written exam of the clerk, because as you must have seen above, 1 part of the written exam is entirely dedicated to English, and it carries 100 marks. So, make sure that you do practice for English, pay special attention to it.
Add to your sources of knowledge
Books are not the only sources of knowledge, you can gain knowledge from so many different things. Internet is the ultimate free source of learning and adding to your knowledge. So, instead of just using it for social networks, use is it to gain knowledge.
If there is any subject that you don’t find interesting or which is giving you the hard time to understand, then look for it on the internet, you will find tons of website, explaining things in an interesting and easy way. Be a smart learner, and use the internet for your benefit.
Do not procrastinate
procrastination is the main reason behind the failure of most people. The more you put the work on tomorrow, the more are your chances of failure. Live with the rule of now or never, if you do not study today, then you will never be able to get into the Indian army. Give priority to your studies first.
Try to follow these points on daily basis, and you will surely crack CEE with good marks and get your name on the merit list.

Hello Murali,
first of all you are underweight as per your height. You must at least be 45 kg (if you are less than 17 years old) to be eligible to apply for NDA (Army). And if you want to join army as soldier, then you do not have the height and weight to become a soldier. So i will advice you to prepare for NDA and meanwhile work on your weight.
