Is this your exam?
Candidates for Nepal's civil service, from Kharidar through Section Officer.
Sections covered
Built specifically for Lok Sewa
Not a generic question bank with a category label on it. Each of these exists because this exam needs it.
How to prepare for Lok Sewa
The same four steps as every other category, aimed at this syllabus and sequenced backwards from your exam date.
Take a diagnostic
Twenty minutes, one honest number. We need to know where you are before we can tell you what to do — and so do you.
A baseline score and your three weakest topics.
Follow the roadmap
Your exam's path, sequenced. Foundations before drills, drills before full papers — in the order that actually holds.
A daily plan sized to the time you have left.
Practise every day
A small daily goal you can hit on a commute. Streaks exist because ten minutes daily beats four hours on a Saturday, and the data is unambiguous about it.
Compounding recall instead of cramming.
Sit full mocks
The real clock, the real length, the real marking. Then review every wrong answer with its explanation before you move on.
A predicted rank and a shrinking weakness list.
Full papers at
the real pace.
Every mock runs the real duration, the real question count and the real marking scheme, including negative marking where the paper applies it. There is no pause button, because there is no pause button on the day.
Know which section is
costing you the paper.
Your Lok Sewa attempts are broken down by section, so you find out whether the problem is knowledge, speed, or one specific topic — three different problems with three completely different fixes.
- General Knowledge tracked as its own strength meter
- Current Affairs tracked as its own strength meter
- General Ability tracked as its own strength meter
- Service-specific papers tracked as its own strength meter
Ranked against everyone
preparing for the same paper.
A leaderboard for Lok Sewa specifically, plus a rank prediction based on everyone practising for this cycle. It is a strong signal about your relative standing among people who prepare — and we say plainly that it is not a prediction of the official result.
A path, not
a pile of papers.
Tell us your Lok Sewa date and the roadmap sequences backwards from it — diagnostic, foundations, drills, mocks. If the runway is short it says what will not fit rather than pretending otherwise.
What changed for people who sat it
“I failed EPS-TOPIK the first time because I had never heard the listening section at real speed. Practising at 0.75× and working up is the only reason I passed on the second attempt.”
“The topic strength meter told me my current affairs were fine and my general ability was the problem. I had been revising the wrong subject for two months.”
“I run a small coaching centre in Butwal. Uploading our own question bank and running mocks under our own name meant we stopped paying for three separate tools.”
“Load-shedding used to end my study session. Downloading the lessons the night before fixed that completely.”
“Being able to ask a doubt in Nepali at 11pm and have three people answer before morning is worth more than the mock tests, honestly.”
“I passed the licence written test in three days of twenty-minute drills. I had failed it twice before, guessing at the signs.”
Other categories
One account covers every category. Candidates commonly prepare for two at once.
