• Mock tests and Previous year papers: This is the most important part of the preparation and one should take the test to check if they are able to manage the time and self assessment to work on weaker sections. Questions from previous years are repeatedly asked and provide you with a fair idea of examination.
• Most important guys which books you have to read are LUCENT GK BOOK (POLITY;HISTORY;ECO;GENERAL SCIENCE)
