IPO Exam Preparation, Books, Study Plan & Strategies 2023 - LDCE IP Exam Preparation, Tips & Study Plan 2023

IPO Exam (LDCE IP) BOOKS, PREPARATION, STUDY PLAN & STRATEGIES FOR 2023 BY K PAVAN KUMAR, INSPECTOR POSTS, 2019 Batch Andrapradesh Circle.


Good evening, Friends, I am getting many messages and calls about books to be followed about How to Prepared for LDCE IP Exam 2023.So this Video is for such people. I am K Pavan Kumar, Inspector Posts, A.P Circle.

 

First thing is Books/materials to be followed to crack LDCE IP exam.

You might have not known that before 2019 notification, the most important thing in cracking the IP exam is collection of Books/material only, So if you could collect all materials then, 50% success over. But now because of social media all material in different varieties and its updates are in everybody’s Mobiles. But now the Problem is which material to choose and no time to study because of this social media only. 

Though I mainly study Raw materials (India post web site copies, Swamy Publications), but due to hype in whats app I too bought one material from Senior Publications but it is not at all useful for the present scenario. I tried one more short notes from a friend, it was useful in my revision. And I read some MCQ materials from publications of retd SPO’s. Referring to postal websites like Ramakrishnay & Postalstudy will help you for some extent. So I can say no material in the present market is complete except Raw materials and your notes.

Then What to Study and How to study for IPO Exam 2023?

Books for IPO (Inspector Post) Exam:

For Departmental Sections , I strongly recommend to study only Raw material like volumes and FHB 1 & FHB 2 from India Post Website or Swamy Publications. But if I say to read all above topics from raw materials then most aspirants may get a doubt that when to complete all these books. Remember , all most at least 40 % we knew about Departmental Subjects na So if you study with Planning and intensity it is not difficult to complete with in two months.

If you want, you may refer any private material for revision or for MCQ practise only. Don’t go for all materials and discussions in Social media, they may not having quality in their preparation, so if they typed wrongly or put wrong MCQs that Wrong answers will register in our mind, that will reflect in our performance in exam badly.

and review and change as per Progress


Then you will get know when your syllabus Over , if not how much more time you need to spend.

  1. Combined Study, Sharing of Knowledge will reduce Your time of Preparation. Ex if you two friends prepare FHB1 combinedly then you will study 1-50 rules in 1 Hr and Your friend read 50-100 rules in 1 Hr, Then You can exchange your understanding in 15-20 minutes so that 100 rules will complete in 1 to 1 ½ Hr and one Revision also Over.
  2. Split the Entire Syllabus into small Parts like keep Your Target to read Only 2 Chapters of Volume 5 on a day in 1 hr or so.
  3. Keep Daily Targets and review it Weekly for your progress in preparation and change your plan accordingly.
  4. Prepare your own notes so that all imp rules, list of Authorities, List of items involving Numbers (years, times, etc) will be with you in form of tables. This notes will become crucial in revision in last one or two days.
  5. Some friends may have doubts why to read all these Voluminous books and prepare notes, why can’t we prepare with material available in market ?? for those my answer is You shouldn’t prepare without missing  any point in your preparation and that Confidence makes you to write the exam without any tensions and minimum mistakes that finally makes you Inspector.

Ø  So you should read daily at least 15 minutes until the exam to keep all these numbers in your mind.

Ø  To remember all these numbers, you must prepare short cuts/ Stories of your own or search in you tube or Google.

Like  U Can Fly Directly From US to UP to Meet Child of Shyam and Ram; Fruits Taste Sweet To Eat So Only Eat Maggi As Tasty Snack (to remember all 25 parts of Constitution)

U – Union, C -Citizenship, F- Fundamental Rights ,D- Directive Principles of States etc.

Ø  For Current affairs depend on competitive exams website like adda 24X7, Bankers add etc for the last 2 Weeks only.

Ø  Aptitude and Reasoning – the Questions are Easy to Moderate only , so prepare any CHSL or CGL material like Kirans, Arihant etc.

Ø  English ---- it is a long process but what ever we can do all these do we should do without leaving to God, like preparing Grammar, Common Errors and some Vocabulary learning from books like English Comprehension by ARihant publications or by Prem Latha Suri etc. 

Ø  Noting and Drafting --- You will find many books on this topic form North India Book Stalls , I read one from BAHRI’s. or you can find DOPT material also you will find in internet.

 

How to Prepare

Ø  Those who have already prepared for some competitive exams, then to them, this section is easy, almost no preparation needed except in Current affairs but who are not prepared for any competitive exams must spend more time on Aptitude and reasoning , English too.

Ø   Noting and Drafting You must practice some Letters and Syntax of Letters and take care that the way some words uses in departmental Letter like “With above Cited reference”, “may be” etc . Better Hand writing gives Better marks.
