PGVCL Vidyut Sahayak 2026 — Smart Preparation Strategy

  • Computer Knowledge (20 marks in Tier 1): Highest-weightage single section — cover MS Office, Internet basics, Computer fundamentals, hardware/software concepts thoroughly
  • English & Gujarati (20+20 marks each in both tiers): Together these carry 40 marks per tier (80 marks total across both tiers) — prioritize grammar, vocabulary, and Gujarati idioms/spelling rules
  • Reasoning & Quantitative Aptitude (Tier 1 only, 15+15 marks): Focus on basic-to-moderate level puzzles, series, simplification, and data interpretation — speed matters more than complexity here
  • Polity/RTI (20 marks in Tier 2): Study RTI Act basics, Indian Constitution fundamentals, and Public Administration concepts — this is the single highest-weightage Tier 2 subject
  • Current Affairs: Appears in both tiers (10 marks each) — follow Gujarat-specific and national current affairs from the last 6 months
  • Avoid negative marking traps: With 1/4th mark deduction, attempt only questions you’re reasonably confident about
  • Practice normalization awareness: If your batch/session is easier than others, your raw score gets normalized — don’t panic if marks seem lower than expected
  • Keep all Annexure documents (B, C) and category certificates ready and self-attested well before the verification call to avoid last-minute rejection
