An NTPC plan built for the section that decides it.

NTPC has three sections, and candidates usually treat them as equals. They are not.

Mathematics and Reasoning are skills. Once you can solve a topic, you can mostly still solve it months later. General Awareness is recall across an enormous surface — history, geography, polity, economy, science, current affairs — and it disappears if you do not keep returning to it.

That asymmetry should shape the plan, and in most candidates' preparation it does not.

How it structures NTPC prep

You configure once:

• Stage you're targeting (CBT 1, CBT 2, or the full cycle)
• Target exam date
• Daily study hours you genuinely have
• Your weaker sections
• Whether you're also preparing for Group D, ALP or another railway exam

The AI plan builds a daily schedule across Mathematics, General Intelligence and Reasoning, and General Awareness — with GA appearing every single day.

A typical NTPC study day

• Maths block — one topic in depth: percentages, time and work, profit and loss, mensuration, DI.
• Reasoning block — series, coding-decoding, syllogism, puzzles, Venn diagrams.
• General Awareness — a short daily block on one area, plus older topics resurfacing automatically.
• Current affairs — brief, daily, with the previous weeks returning at intervals.
• Timed set — a fixed number of questions against the clock, once or twice a week.

Why GA needs daily contact, not long sessions

Sitting down for a three-hour General Awareness marathon feels productive and achieves very little. The syllabus is too wide to be absorbed in blocks and too shallow to reward deep study.

What works is small, frequent, repeated exposure. Twenty minutes a day, every day, with topics automatically returning at 1 day, 3 days, 7 days, 21 days and 60 days, will hold far more of the syllabus by exam day than the same total hours spent in weekend marathons.

The gap between CBT 1 and CBT 2

The waiting period after CBT 1 is where NTPC preparations quietly collapse. Momentum goes, the routine breaks, and CBT 2 preparation starts from a colder place than it should.

Lighthouse Prep keeps a CBT 2 track running through CBT 1 preparation, lightly weighted, then shifts the balance when you change your target stage. The gap becomes planned time.

Features for NTPC prep

• GA scheduled daily — the section that decides the exam gets contact every day.
• Spaced revision — automatic, and built for exactly this kind of wide recall syllabus.
• CBT 1 and CBT 2 tracks — both live, reweighted when your stage changes.
• Post-specific skill tests — typing or aptitude added as their own sessions.
• Multiple railway exams — NTPC, Group D and ALP planned together, shared work counted once.
• Focus timer — measures real study time, not desk time.
• Wastage analytics — shows which sessions actually break your concentration.
• Lumi AI mentor — explains a maths method or GA topic in plain language.

Who this is for

• First-attempt candidates facing the GA syllabus for the first time
• Repeat candidates who clear CBT 1 and lose ground before CBT 2
• Working candidates fitting railway prep around a job
• Anyone preparing for several railway exams in the same cycle
