A Group D plan that includes the physical test.

The Group D syllabus is not large and the questions are not difficult. Millions of people apply, almost all of them can solve most of the paper, and selection comes down to accuracy, speed and not losing marks you should have had.

There is also a physical test at the end that ends your attempt regardless of how well you did in the written paper — and it is the part that gets postponed.

Lighthouse Prep plans both.

How it structures Group D prep

You configure once:

• Target exam date
• Daily study hours you genuinely have
• Your weaker sections
• Whether to schedule physical test preparation alongside
• Whether you're also preparing for NTPC or ALP

The AI plan builds a daily schedule across Mathematics, General Intelligence and Reasoning, General Science, and General Awareness with Current Affairs.

A typical Group D study day

• Maths block — one topic: number system, percentages, time and work, mensuration, simple DI.
• Reasoning block — analogies, series, coding-decoding, syllogism, Venn diagrams.
• General Science — Physics, Chemistry or Life Sciences at 10th-standard level.
• General Awareness and Current Affairs — a short daily block, resurfacing automatically.
• PET session — running or endurance work, scheduled two or three times a week.
• Timed set — a fixed number of questions against the clock, weekly.

General Science is where Group D is won

Other railway exams lean on General Awareness. Group D leans on General Science, and it is the section where prepared candidates pull ahead — the material is finite, learnable and directly testable.

Because it is scheduled as its own track rather than mixed into General Awareness, it accumulates real hours across months instead of being treated as background reading.

The physical test is not optional

Every cycle, candidates clear the written test and fail PET, and every one of them intended to start training "after the result".

The planner treats physical preparation as a real session with real time attached, two or three times a week from the beginning. It is a small cost spread over months instead of an impossible one compressed into weeks.

Spaced revision for a wide, shallow syllabus

Group D asks a little about a lot. That is precisely the syllabus shape that fades fastest without repetition.

Lighthouse Prep brings every topic back at 1 day, 3 days, 7 days, 21 days and 60 days, so what you learned in month one is still there when the exam finally arrives — which, in railway cycles, is often much later than expected.

Features for Group D prep

• PET scheduled from day one — the gate that ends attempts.
• General Science as its own track — the section that separates candidates.
• Spaced revision — automatic, built for wide shallow syllabuses.
• Timed practice — separate from learning, because accuracy decides this exam.
• Multiple railway exams — Group D, NTPC and ALP planned together.
• Focus timer — measures real study time, not desk time.
• Wastage analytics — shows which sessions actually break your concentration.
• Lumi AI mentor — explains a science concept or maths method in plain language.

Who this is for

• First-attempt candidates preparing across a long cycle
• Repeat candidates who cleared the written test but failed PET
• Working candidates fitting preparation around a job
• Anyone preparing for several railway exams at once
