had to focus on other papers. I know that GK & constitution were my strong areas so I worked hard on them. I am weak in math so I targeted at least 60% in maths. For Pali I went to a tutor because it cannot be studied alone. In the initial two years of my study i have sacrificed every moment of joy from my life.Tuition,study and a healthy gossip with frndz 4 atleast 2 hrs/day were my daily duties.i always tried to give as much time as possible 4 my study.there was no limit,it may b 9-10 hrs in d 1st 1year or so.thereafter atleast 5-6 hours.
