%harma and %adanaThere is no need to read all the books from cover to cover. Prepare topic wise
in a comprehensive manner. Use examples, contemporary relevance, case
studies etc. Read case studies from The Hindu, Frontline, urukshetra and
!o"ana. # must admit here that due to paucity of time, # personally could not
refer to urukshetra but sometimes # did pick up selective issues and found
them very useful.
For those topics that were covered in the class, # $rst used to read my class
notes and tried to understand them. Then, # used to refer to other sources for
more details and clarity. For topics that were not covered in the class, # be%anby readin% that topic from at least & di'erent books and understandin% the
basics. (ometimes, # also read the printed material to supplement my
knowled%e. Then # made my own notes for these topics.
)ext, # tried to memori*e all that # had studied so that # could recall the
crucial points at the ri%ht time. # used to do this by readin% my notes and
underlined portions in the books a%ain and a%ain.
Finally, to %ain con$dence, # used to write answers to as many +uestions as #
could.
