Preparing for the PFRDA Grade A (Assistant Manager) exam requires a well-structured and focused strategy, given its competitive nature and diverse syllabus. My recommended approach begins with thoroughly understanding the exam pattern and syllabus for both Phase 1 (Prelims) and Phase 2 (Mains), especially focusing on key areas like General Awareness (with emphasis on financial markets), Reasoning, Quantitative Aptitude, English, and domain-specific subjects such as Management, Finance, Companies Act, and Pension Sector. Begin with strong foundational study of static subjects, and supplement that with daily current affairs, particularly from the financial sector. For paper-based sections like English Descriptive, practice essay writing and precis regularly to improve articulation and speed. Use standard reference books, PFRDA-relevant PDFs, RBI/SEBI annual reports, and credible online resources.  Time management, revision of key facts (like important Acts, pension schemes, reforms, and terminology), and maintaining a disciplined daily schedule are essential to stay consistent. Lastly, analyze previous year papers to identify question patterns and adjust your preparation accordingly.
