Why nine months
The longer plan gives General Studies a full six months, compared with four months in the CAPF Batch (6 Months). The three later phases then run for one month each: aptitude, the daily descriptive drill and the 3-hour descriptive drill.

Phase Roadmap
Paper-1 vs Paper-2
Mastering the dual demands of the CAPF examination needs a sequenced, two-pronged attack: Paper-1 is the objective litmus test and Paper-2 is the descriptive drill.
| Paper-1: The Objective Litmus Test | Paper-2: The Descriptive Drill | |
|---|---|---|
| Covers | General Studies, aptitude, current affairs and Prelims PYQ analysis | Essay crafting, precis, counter arguments and comprehension |
| Addressed through | 10,000+ AI-powered MCQs and 6 months of deep foundation | MAINS Studio daily answer writing and instant mentor evaluation |
The programme harmonises these two demands through four distinct, tracked phases.
