The Institute study material should be your primary study aide. After completing the study material, go through the scanners to understand the kind of questions that were asked in the earlier examinations. You may go through the suggested answers to get an idea as to how to write effective answers in a professional examination.

In short, each of these study aide have their own purpose and neither of them are substitutes for the other. Hope this clarifies your query.

All the best for your examination !

Hi Sravanthi,

The institute has good study material. I did my study exclusively from the study material and found it sufficient for the examination. I am not much sure about other authors. However, if you would like to have a deeper understanding of the subject, the institute has prescribed several textbooks. You may find a list of these in the prospectus.

Wishing you all the best

Hi Sravanthi,

Every individual will have a different studying style. You have to frame a timetable according to your style and stick to it. I am afraid that I cannot frame a timetable for your but I will give you some general guidelines.

1. Your daily studying hours should be reasonable. Don't plan for anything beyond 10 hours as it will be extremely difficult to achieve in the initial stages and this will be negatively impact your motivation. (Although, as you get closer to the exam, you may find yourself reading for 14+ hours)

2. Use the technique of "Survey, Read, Question and Revise". Start the topic by surveying the contents such as headlines, sub-headings, bold points etc to get a feel of what you will be covering. Then do the detailed in depth reading. Ask questions pertaining to what you have read and see whether you can answer those questions from memory. And then, revise what you have read. Constant revision is essential. Budget some time every week exclusively for revising what you have learnt in the week.

3. Alot time for break and fun activities (approx 60-90 mins everyday)

4. Get all your study materials pertaining to the subject you are studying at one place. It will save you the unnecessary distraction of having to go get the material in the middle of your studying.

5. Budget time for excercise. Healthy body - healthy mind.

6. Avoid non-veg during you study holidays as it tends to slow down the brain functioning. (I am a non-veg myself but ask my mother to get me veg food during study holidays)

7. If you feel you will get bored by reading a single subject at a stretch, mix 2-3 subjects in a day. Find out when you are the most receptive to theory and when you are most receptive to practical.

8. At the end of each day, conduct an audit on the time spent during the day.

9. Write down the entire syllabus in sheets of paper, staple the same and keep ticking the chapters and topics that you have finished studying. Looking at this sheet will help you gauge your progress and motivate you to continue the momentum.

10. If you feel that some topic is difficult for you to comprehend, do not despair, take up a different topic and come back another time when your mind is less bugged.

11. Keep company of similar minded friends who can motivate you on a regular basis.

At some point in time, when you will feel that this exam is lost, slap yourself and tell that you have not studied so many months to give up at the fianl moment. (Every great monument was buit brick by brick). Beleive in your self and write the examination no matter what.

And finally, any professional examination is all about luck

" The harder you work, the luckier you get !"

All the best.
