Applicants are advised to regularly check the official PSC website for updates and ensure that their profile information is up to date. Make sure to download the updated admit card and check the latest exam Centre details.

The hall ticket serves as an official entry pass to the exam centre, so candidates must carry a printed copy on the day of the exam.

Last-Minute Tips for Kerala PSC CPO Mains Exam 2025

• As the CPO/WCPO exam approaches, candidates should focus on effective last-minute strategies to maximize their performance. Rather than starting new topics, it is important to revise already studied materials, especially key areas like General Knowledge, Current Affairs, Simple Arithmetic, Mental Ability, and General English.

  📘 For complete subject-wise topics and preparation areas, refer to the Kerala PSC CPO/WCPO Syllabus 2025.

• Go through short notes, previous year question papers, and mock test results to strengthen your weak points.

• Allocate time for daily practice of model questions, particularly in sections where you often make mistakes. Solve at least one full-length mock test each day under exam conditions to improve time management and boost confidence. Avoid late-night studying; instead, ensure proper rest and a healthy routine.
