Approach
no full pass — pure triage of the highest-weight topics only

This 2-day rescue gives you 2 days to work through 18 weighted SSC CGL topics across 4 subjects — roughly 9.0 new topics a day at 8–10 hours of focused study. That is not a study plan in the normal sense — it is damage control, and done right it can still move your score.

SSC CGL marks are not spread evenly across subjects. Quantitative Aptitude, Reasoning, and English carry the heaviest weightage in recent papers, so this plan front-loads them — with only the heaviest topics in scope, everything else is deliberately out of frame. Study weight-5 topics only. Everything weight-4 and below is noise at this range — skip it without guilt.

In 2 days you cannot cover 18 topics, so this plan does not try. It targets only the handful that historically carry the most marks. The failure mode here is spreading thin. Pick the top topics and go deep enough to actually score, rather than skimming everything.

What to prioritise & cut

Study weight-5 topics only. Everything weight-4 and below is noise at this range — skip it without guilt.

Mock tests & revision

No full mocks. Spend every minute on previous-year questions for your highest-weight topics and memorise their solution patterns.

Weekly rhythm

There is no week — work in 90-minute focused blocks with short breaks, prioritising recall over re-reading.

Subject-wise topic split

Each topic shows its weightage (1–5 dots) and the concepts you'll cover. Higher-weight topics appear first.
