Aiming for a government job? Success isn’t just about working hard - it’s about working smart. There are seven key strategies that significantly boost your chances across written, physical and medical selection stages.

First, build a strong foundation by focusing on core subjects like maths, English, reasoning and general awareness. Solve previous years’ papers to pick up patterns. Next, effective time management is vital: prepare a realistic study plan and minimise distractions such as social media. Then, frequent mock tests help you identify weak spots and reduce exam-day anxiety.

For roles that include physical tests (like police or defence), include running, strength training and a healthy diet. Finding the right mental framing is also key - stay optimistic, persistent and resilient through setbacks. Lastly, stay updated with current affairs, make concise weekly revision routines, and consistently analyse your performance to improve. 

By integrating these habits - foundation, planning, practice, fitness, focus, awareness and revision - you strengthen not just your knowledge, but your endurance and mindset for the rigours of government-job exams.
