I am in second year of my engineering (IT branch ) how can I start preparing for CDs,AFcat and also for TGC entry . what can I do so that I can get a minimum time in a day for preparing for all these things ..
To clear CDS, you must earn at least 20 marks in all subjects, which is the sectional cutoff, and 115 points in all three papers combined, which are English, General Knowledge/Studies/Awareness, and Maths. Of course, if you want to join the Air Force, you should aim for a score of roughly 145/300. However, for Army and Navy, a score of 115/300 should sufficient, though the higher the number, the better.
English - Solve all Previous years papers of CDS
GK - Lucent’s or Arihant's General Knowledge and Study Capsules for Polity and Geography should do the trick if you’re lazy, otherwise I’d recommend NCERT (Classes 9–12) + Indian Polity by M Laxmikanth also The Hindu Newspaper for Current Affairs and Editorials.
Mathematics: Quantitative Aptitude by R S Aggarwal and M Tyra for high speed shortcuts will work best.
For TGS you just have to prepare for ssb.
Afcat- exam is more static Knowledge based.
Maths (18 ques): basic 10th level Maths is asked
Gk: static gk based on current affairs
English : solve previous year papers
Reasoning : You can solve any book for reasoning as practice is the key here.
