Hello arvind,

Well my friend first and foremost thing is to get graduation degree in hand with good marks. You need to have a graduation degree with minimum percentage to write this examination. You are in second year of bcom so what you can do is either take up any coaching classes or you can prepare on your own too.

Coaching institutes are not necessary but it can help you to some extent. If you want to prepare on your own then buy some core ncert and standard books with previous years question papers. Start reading newspapers for brushing up current affairs.

You can follow unacademy channel on YouTube.



Do these things first and if you face any difficulty then let us know. We will revert back to you.



Cheers !!
