The Sikkim Police Sub-Inspector Preliminary Examination (Paper 1: General Studies) is conducted by the Sikkim Public Service Commission (SPSC) to assess eligibility for recruitment in the Sikkim Police SI cadre. This objective stage filters candidates through a competitive mix of language, current affairs, reasoning, and core mathematics, helping you build the right foundation for the next phase of selection.

Start with a daily routine: 20–30 minutes for English (grammar + vocabulary) and 30 minutes for current affairs from reliable sources. For reasoning and math, practice at least 40–50 MCQs daily with a focus on speed and accuracy—use timed attempts to match the 120-minute exam duration. Revise mistakes from previous quizzes to improve weak areas, and remember there is no negative marking, so build consistency by attempting all questions.
