Agniveer GD 2025 — Full Preparation Guide (Step-by-Step)
Crack General Duty in your first attempt with a realistic plan: structured syllabus coverage, daily habits, fitness routine, and clean exam-hall tactics.
Part 1 — Exam Snapshot, Eligibility & Mindset
Agniveer General Duty focuses on clear fundamentals and disciplined physical readiness. The written paper rewards speed with accuracy. Build a repeatable routine and protect revision time; last-minute cramming does not win consistent ranks.
1.1 Exam Snapshot
- Pattern: Objective type. Negative marking may apply per latest notification—hence clean attempts matter.
- Core Areas: GK & Current, Mathematics, Reasoning, and basic English usage.
- Target: 80–90% accuracy with full paper completion is a safe zone across difficulty levels.
1.2 Eligibility & Documents (Quick Checklist)
- Educational qualification and age as per norms.
- Valid ID proofs, photos with correct dimensions.
- Certificates arranged in a clear folder; digital backup maintained.
1.3 Mindset That Wins
Champions follow three rules: consistency over intensity, short feedback loops, and structured revision. Your tools are a fixed daily schedule, micro-tests, and an error notebook.
Part 2 — Syllabus Deep Dive & 90-Day Study Plan
Convert the syllabus into daily, doable tasks. Use a register with three columns: concept, example, and error notes. This becomes your high-yield revision book.
2.1 General Knowledge & Current
Prioritize high-yield topics: Indian polity basics, geography essentials, freedom struggle timeline, science in daily life, defense awareness, awards, sports, and national schemes. For current affairs, revise weekly capsules on Sundays.
- Polity: Preamble, fundamental rights & duties, Parliament basics.
- Geography: India maps, rivers, states & capitals, soils, climate belts.
- History: Key movements and leaders; build a clean timeline.
- Science: Everyday physics/chemistry, human body systems.
- Defense: Ranks, commands, mottos, recent exercises.
2.2 Mathematics (Exam-Focused)
Keep a crisp list: number system, divisibility, HCF/LCM, percentage, profit–loss, ratio–proportion, averages, simple/compound interest basics, time–work, time–distance, basic algebra, and everyday geometry.
2.3 Reasoning (Accuracy Game)
Weightage often favors coding–decoding, analogies, classification, series, direction sense, blood relations, Venn diagrams, syllogism basics, and simple non-verbal patterns. Build instincts via small daily sets.
2.4 English Basics
Learn 100 core verbs, common prepositions, subject-verb agreement, articles, error spotting cues, and reading speed. Even low weightage English improves overall performance by reducing confusion.
2.5 90-Day Plan (Phase-Wise)
| Phase | Days | Focus | Daily Routine |
|---|---|---|---|
| Foundation | 1–30 | Concept clarity; GK maps/timelines | 3 hrs: 60m Maths + 60m Reasoning + 30m GK + 30m English + 30m revision |
| Practice | 31–60 | Topic tests; error notebook | 3.5 hrs: 45m mixed sets ×3 + 30m GK + 30m error fixes + 30m reading |
| Exam Mode | 61–90 | Full mocks; time discipline | 1 full mock (alt days) + 2 hrs targeted revision + 30m GK capsule |
2.6 Weekly Framework
- Mon–Fri: Core subjects + one 20-question booster.
- Saturday: Mixed topic test + error correction.
- Sunday: Current affairs weekly + formula recap + light reading.
Part 3 — Practice, Mock Strategy & Exam-Hall Tactics
Practice is feedback. Use the STAR loop: Solve → Track time → Analyze errors → Re-attempt. Every set is a small experiment to improve speed and accuracy.
3.1 Sample Drill — Mathematics (10 Quickies)
- LCM(24, 36) via prime factors.
- Marked 25% above cost, discount 20% → net profit%?
- Ratio A:B = 3:5; A +20% → new ratio?
- Train 200 m crosses pole in 10 s → speed?
- Simple interest on ₹5000 @ 8% for 2 years.
- A 12 days, B 18 days → together?
- Avg of 6 is 15; remove one → avg 14 → removed number?
- If x + 1/x = 5 → x² + 1/x² = ?
- Interior angle of regular pentagon?
- Area of triangle (b=12 cm, h=7 cm)?
3.2 Sample Drill — Reasoning (Mixed)
- Coding: if HAND = 8174 and NEST = 5739, code for DENT?
- Series: 3, 9, 27, ?, 243.
- Directions: N → right 5 → left 3 → left 5 → final facing?
- Relations: P brother of Q; Q daughter of R; R wife of S → P to S?
- Venn idea: Actors, Cricketers, Indians — basic overlaps.
3.3 GK Rapid Fire
- Father of Indian Constitution?
- Longest river in India by length within India?
- First battle of Panipat year?
- HQ of Southern Command?
- Vitamin for blood clotting?
3.4 Mock Test Strategy
- Pass 1 (15–20 min): Sitters and speed questions for base score.
- Pass 2 (20–25 min): Medium items you marked.
- Pass 3 (last 10 min): Leftovers; guess only if negative marking allows.
- After mock: Write three recurring mistakes and fix the same day.
3.5 Time Templates
| Section | Target Qs | Ideal Time | Accuracy |
|---|---|---|---|
| Maths | 15–18 | 20–22 min | 85%+ |
| Reasoning | 15–20 | 18–20 min | 90%+ |
| GK & Current | 20+ | 15–18 min | 80%+ |
| English Basics | 10–12 | 10–12 min | 90%+ |
3.6 Error Notebook
Three columns: Question Snapshot, Root Cause, Fix. Tag fixes with F (formula), R (reading), S (speed). Review twice a week.
3.7 Exam-Hall Discipline
- OMR bubbling neat; avoid overwriting.
- Use the same attempt order you drilled in mocks.
- Skip faster and return later; protect accuracy.
