kajal_123 That’s a smart question, and it depends on your goal, preparation level, and the type of exams you’re targeting. Here’s a clear breakdown:
✅ When it’s better to focus on one exam
(i) If the exam is highly competitive and needs in-depth, subject-specific preparation (e.g., UPSC CSE, RBI Grade B, SSC CGL mains, CAT, etc.).
(ii) If your preparation is at an intermediate stage and spreading yourself thin will reduce your performance.
(iii) If the syllabus and exam pattern are very different from other exams, making parallel prep unproductive.
(iv) If you’re aiming for a top choice career (like IAS, IPS, RBI Officer) where backup exams don’t excite you much.
✅ When it’s better to appear in multiple exams
(i) If the exams have similar syllabus and pattern (like SSC CGL, CHSL, CPO, MTS or Banking + Insurance exams).
(ii) If you’re in the early phase of preparation, giving multiple exams gives you exam-hall exposure and helps reduce fear.
(iii) If you want to maximize chances of selection—since government/private vacancies are uncertain and cut-throat.
(iv) If you treat some exams as practice tests under real conditions before your main target.
🔑 Balanced Strategy
(i) Appear in closely related exams as practice and backup.
(ii) Skip those with very different preparation demands if they’ll distract from your main goal.
(iii) Always have one “primary goal exam” and 1–2 backups.
👉 In short: Don’t blindly give all exams. Choose smartly—primary focus on your dream exam, but attempt similar/backup exams for safety and practice.
