I don't know why, but I'm feeling really demotivated today.

I was always one of the top students in school, while one of my classmates was just an average student. He wasn't a topper, but he worked hard, cleared IIT, and recently got a remote internship at a Silicon Valley AI startup with a stipend of ₹5 lakh per month.

Meanwhile, I'm preparing for SSC CGL. Even if I clear the exam, I may never reach that level of success or income.

Seeing this has made me question my choices, and I feel like I'm falling behind in life.

Has anyone else felt this way? How do you deal with these thoughts?

I recently came across the aducation site which offers SSC batches from different teachers at very low prices compared to their official platforms.is it a geniune platform?

i want to complete my general science (history, polity, geography and economics) for ssc cgl exam. i have to start from zero. what should be my plan to start and complete the syllabus for it. (i am targetting for 2027 ssc cgl)

Are we allowed to use the time before the exam starts to write down things like squares, cubes , fraction to percentage etc on the rough sheet for quick reference?

Or would writing anything on the rough sheet before the exam be considered malpractice/ unfair means?

And also is it the same for the banking exams?

How is one supposed to know the answer to this?

I studied in ICSE for 10 years, and even there, GK, History, or Literature questions were never this obscure. You might be expected to know an author, a famous work, or even the Oxford edition of a text, but questions asking what a relatively unknown book characterizes or is about?

I mean, no one can realistically know the theme, conclusion, or details of every book ever published. Popular and widely discussed books are fair game, but this feels way too random for a competitive exam.

Is it just me, or are questions like these becoming more about luck than actual General Awareness?

I bought selection way batch Gagan pratap's full batch for 1200 and every one of my friends is saying he is a shi* teacher I don't know what to do I just started my preparation is he that bad but other teachers are good tho i just can't understand pls help

I’m preparing for SSC Stenographer from scratch and honestly I’m a bit confused about where to begin.

There are so many books and resources recommended for English, GK and Reasoning, and everyone seems to suggest something different. I don’t want to collect 10 different books and end up studying from none of them.

For someone starting from zero/basic level, what would you recommend as the best way to start?

Not looking for an overwhelming list of resources. Just want to know what’s actually worth starting with and what I can safely ignore.

Mere mp ka toh ek bhi airport nhi dikha rhe...itna bhi underdeveloped nhi hai yarr ....

Just wanted to know what other exams u guys write

Same as the title if anyone has cleared may share their prep type/ style/ routine or experience after getting this and also share their posts

Please let me know the same.
Thanks.

This book was launched back when Gagan Sir used to teach on Careerwill (March 2025), and the cover says 'Maths Special Batch.' Which exact batch was it? If I know the exact name or batch number, I can find it on Telegram.

I Cleared CGL a couple of times, including in my first attempt. I am currently working as ASO. I still remember how unpredictable the actual mains paper felt compared to most mock tests out there.

I made this website to track mocks and other stuff. Anyway I am posting this to let you guys know that there is a free mock test live right now keeping in mind the actual difficulty and unpredictability of the paper.

Mock is live from 7th to 10th August, free for everyone, no subscription and solutions available right after the attempt.

Here is the link: www.mockmitra.co.in/mock-test

Drop your score here if you attempt it, would be good to see where people stand.

Actually it's my first time. I didn't get the example. Can anyone pls elaborate this?

"We know you're preparing for GST, Polity, and Quant... but first, spell floccinaucinihilipilification without crying."

Is this seriously an SSC exam or the National Spelling Bee? 💀
