Smart Tips to Crack EMRS Staff Selection Exam 2025

1) Understand the Exam Pattern First

• Round 1 (Prelims): Simply qualifying. Don’t ignore it, but don’t overreact either.
• Round 2 (Main Subject Test): This is the most important test; your selection is dependent on it.
• Round 3 (Interview/Skill Test): Only for specific positions such as Principal and JSA.

2) Create a Study Plan (and plz stick to it).

• Divide your time between General Studies + Reasoning + ICT + Language Skills (for Prelims) and Subject Knowledge (for Mains).
• Give 60–70% time daily to your subject and 30–40% to common sections.

3) Practice Previous Year Papers and Mock Tests.

• Even if EMRS papers are new, try CTET, KVS, NVS, or DSSSB papers for practice.
• Time management is just as important as knowing the answers.
• You must revise your mistakes after each mock.

4) Improve Basics in Teaching Subjects

For TGT/PGT/Principal:

• Revise NCERT Books (Class 6-12) for your subject.
• Focus on problem-solving in math and science.
• For Social Science/Language, focus on concepts and factual clarity.

5) Focus on CTET-Style Preparation for TGTs.

• Since CTET Paper-II is required for TGTs, revise topics like:
  • Child Development and Pedagogy
  • Teaching methodology
  • Inclusive education

6) Do not ignore ICT and Reasoning.

Many candidates lose marks here because they focus only on their subjects.

• Basic ICT skills include MS Office, the Internet, and digital teaching tools.
• Reasoning: Practice daily (puzzles, coding-decoding, analogy, and series).

7) Revision Strategy

• The last two weeks have been spent just of revision and mock tests.
• Keep a short notebook filled with formulas, teaching theories, and facts.
• Revise daily before going to bed.

8) Interview/Skill Test Preparation

• For Principal: Improve communication skills, leadership, and educational policies.
• Typing practice is a must for JSA (30 WPM in Hindi and 35 WPM in English).

9) Stay Healthy During Preparation

• Take short breaks, eat light meals, and stay hydrated.
• Avoid late-night cramming right before the exam.

10) On Exam Day

• Arrive at the center early.
• Do not be nervous if the paper seems to be difficult, it is difficult for everyone.
• Start with easy questions and move to moderate/difficult ones.
