STRATEGIES AND TIPS

question
  • Know the Exam Pattern and Syllabus thoroughly…
  • Prepare a Timetable to Ease Your Preparations….
  • Give Utmost Importance to  Practices Previous year question Papers….
  • Never Overwork Yourself….
  • Refer to the Best Study Materials Available…

Is it easy to get a role of computer programmer under government ?

Yes. It all starts with a dream , a dream to become a government employee under  kerala government with the right preparations,  one can clear the exam for programmer in first attempt.  Work hard , practice previous year question papers  and cover the entire syllabus which makes your steps easier.

Will only  studying  the topics from the syllabus  enough to get a government job?

NO.  In previous years many questions are coming outside the syllabus for various technical exams.  So  give importance to practice more previous year question papers.
