RSMSSB LDC has three components that must be prepared simultaneously: a written GK exam, a typing test, and a computer efficiency test. Most candidates focus almost entirely on GK and discover — a week before the exam — that their typing speed is 10 WPM short of the cutoff. This 6-week plan distributes preparation across all three so no component catches you off guard.
What You Are Preparing For
Written exam (GK):
- Paper I: Rajasthan-specific GK — History, Geography, Polity, Economy, Art and Culture; plus General Science, Indian History, Indian GK, Current Affairs, Computer Basics
- Paper II: Hindi language — Grammar (व्याकरण), Comprehension, Composition
Qualifying tests (pass/fail — not counted in merit):
- Hindi typing: 25 WPM minimum (Krutidev or Mangal/Unicode layout)
- English typing: 35 WPM minimum (QWERTY)
- Computer efficiency (MS Word): Timed formatting tasks — bold, tables, styles, headers, find & replace
Failing any qualifying test eliminates you regardless of your written score. The plan below treats typing and MS Word as equal priorities to GK, not afterthoughts.
The Core Principle: Fixed Daily Slots
Before looking at the week-by-week plan, establish three daily slots and protect them:
| Slot | Duration | What it covers |
|---|---|---|
| Morning | 90 minutes | GK study (subject rotation) |
| Afternoon/Evening | 30 minutes | Typing practice (timed) |
| Evening | 20 minutes | MS Word practice (one task category) |
Total: ~140 minutes per day. If you have more time, extend the morning GK slot — not the other two. Typing and MS Word require consistent short sessions, not cramming.
Week 1 — Foundation and Baseline
GK focus: Rajasthan History overview (dynasties, battles table) + NCERT Class 10 Science basics
Typing:
- Assess your current speed: take a 5-minute timed test each in Hindi and English
- If English is below 25 WPM: spend Week 1 on touch-typing form only (no speed targets)
- If English is already 30+ WPM: work on accuracy (target 98%+)
MS Word:
- Learn 4 things this week: Bold/Italic/Underline shortcuts, font change, font size, paragraph alignment (Ctrl+L, Ctrl+E, Ctrl+R, Ctrl+J)
- Do not move to tables yet
Weekly target: Complete one full Rajasthan History topic test on MedhaV; English typing at 25+ WPM with 97%+ accuracy
Week 2 — Rajasthan Core Subjects
GK focus: Rajasthan Geography (rivers, lakes, minerals, wildlife) + Hindi Vyakaran (Sandhi, Samas, Muhavare)
Rajasthan History and Geography together carry the highest weight in Paper I. Spend 60 minutes on each this week — use topic-test mode to drill chapter by chapter.
Typing:
- Hindi: focus on Krutidev layout if that is your choice; practice common word pairs (frequent errors: 'क' vs 'ख' transpositions)
- English: add 5 minutes of speed drills (familiar passages) after accuracy practice
- Target by end of week: English 30 WPM, Hindi 20 WPM
MS Word:
- This week: line spacing (1.5, double), indentation, paragraph borders
- Practice: open Word, type 3 paragraphs, apply each formatting item without menus — shortcuts only
Weekly target: Geography topic test score above 60%; English typing net 30+ WPM
Week 3 — Indian GK + Build Typing Speed
GK focus: Indian History (Mughal period, freedom movement, modern India) + Indian Constitution (Fundamental Rights, writs, key articles)
Indian GK questions typically make up 20-30% of Paper I. Constitution questions repeat reliably — the five writs, Article 32 vs 226, and emergency provisions appear in almost every paper.
Typing:
- English: introduce unfamiliar passages (not the same text you have been practicing)
- Hindi: start timed 3-minute tests; track net speed (gross minus errors)
- Target by end of week: English 33 WPM, Hindi 22 WPM
MS Word:
- This week: tables (insert, merge cells, apply borders and shading)
- Practice: create a 4x3 table, merge the top row, apply outer border only, shade the header row
Weekly target: Constitution mock score above 65%; English typing net 33+ WPM; table tasks completed in under 3 minutes
Week 4 — General Science + Styles + Current Affairs
GK focus: NCERT Class 10 Science (Electricity, Chemistry basics, Biology) + Rajasthan Current Affairs
General Science (20% of GK questions) draws heavily from Class 10 — Ohm's Law, pH scale, common chemical names, photosynthesis, food chains. Spend 45 minutes per day this week.
Current Affairs is the variable component — focus on the last 12 months (Rajasthan state events, major national policy, sports, awards).
Typing:
- English: daily 5-minute timed tests on fresh passages. If net WPM is not consistently above 32, slow down by 5 WPM and rebuild accuracy before trying to push speed
- Hindi: introduce Mangal layout practice if your exam requires Unicode Hindi typing
- Target by end of week: English 35 WPM, Hindi 24 WPM
MS Word:
- This week: Styles (Heading 1, Heading 2, Normal, Title) and headers/footers with page numbers
- Practice: apply Heading 1 to a line, add a footer with page number — do it in under 2 minutes
Weekly target: Science topic test above 60%; typing at or above cutoff for both languages
Week 5 — Mock Tests + Weak Area Reinforcement
Stop introducing new topics this week. Everything now is practice and retrieval:
GK:
- Take 2 full mixed-subject mock tests (simulate exam conditions: timed, no breaks)
- Identify your 3 weakest subjects from your last 5 tests and spend 30 minutes per day on those only
- Do not re-read chapters — do topic tests, check explanations, and note wrong answers
Typing:
- English: 2 timed tests daily. If you are hitting 35+ WPM consistently, switch to maintaining accuracy. If still below, add a third session focusing on your top 5 error words
- Hindi: same approach
MS Word:
- This week: Find & Replace (Ctrl+H), page setup (margins, orientation, paper size)
- Do a full simulation: open a blank document, complete a 10-task list within 12 minutes
Weekly target: 2 full mock tests completed; both typing speeds at or above cutoff; full 10-task MS Word simulation done under 12 minutes
Week 6 — Final Revision and Exam Readiness
GK:
- One topic-test per subject per day — rotating through all subjects
- Review your error notebook (wrong answers from Weeks 1-5)
- No new topics. No new books. Only revision of what you already know
Typing:
- One 5-minute timed test daily each in Hindi and English — not more
- Stop trying to push speed this week; maintain what you have built
MS Word:
- One full-simulation session at the start of the week
- After that: 10 minutes daily on whichever task category is weakest
Day before exam:
- Review 10 high-frequency GK facts from each of your weaker subjects
- Do not type. Rest your hands.
- Check exam requirements: which Hindi typing layout is accepted, what version of MS Word will be on the computers
Quick Reference — What Matters Most
| Component | Minimum to clear | Key preparation |
|---|---|---|
| Hindi typing | 25 WPM net | Touch typing accuracy first; speed second |
| English typing | 35 WPM net | Accuracy before speed; unfamiliar passages |
| MS Word | Pass all tasks | Learn keyboard shortcuts; practice under timer |
| GK Paper I | Competitive score | Rajasthan History/Geography highest priority |
| GK Paper II | Competitive score | Sandhi, Samas, Muhavare for Hindi grammar |
All three tools on one platform — practice GK, typing, and MS Word without leaving your browser.
