Maintain soft copies of the notes or simply subscribe to an e-newspaper version of “The Hindu” so that you can go through them on the go.

Get in the habit of thoroughly reading newspapers on a daily basis, for at least 2-3 hours, and compare the current events with theoretical knowledge studied in Political Science, History, Geography and Economics.

Take help of all the resources in your power, whether it’s aid from former teachers, online videos, guidebooks, and coaching centres. Be sure to use your time wisely, study with full concentration and test yourself at each step of the way. Make revision your best friend and be confident in your abilities.
