How to Prepare for DSSSB MTS Exam 2026

1. Start with the syllabus and marks split. Each of the five subjects carries equal marks (40 each), so no single subject should be left for the last weeks.
2. Build a weekly timetable by subject. Give fixed slots to arithmetic and reasoning, which need daily practice, and shorter daily slots to Hindi, English and general awareness.
3. Use the 0.25 negative marking to your advantage. Practise attempting only the questions you can answer with reasonable confidence, and track wrong attempts in every mock.
4. Solve previous year papers and full-length mocks. Practise finishing 200 questions in 120 minutes, since there is no separate time limit for each section.
5. Revise formulas and static topics regularly. Keep a short sheet for arithmetic formulas, Hindi grammar rules and general awareness facts for quick revision.
6. Do not ignore the language papers. The Hindi and English sections carry 80 marks together, so grammar and comprehension practice should be part of the daily routine.
