How to study IT and SM?

simple just read out with understanding 5 or more times

u wil get highest numbers

for it....do d chapters lyke networking n dbms first coz they r high mark chapters....n succeed it with input n output devices, softwares etc.....after finishin 2 or more chapters do revise d chapters again coz d theory is more n a lil bit hard 2 remember.....n for sm....do d chapters first n if u have done d chapters thoroughly den there will b no problems for u in answerin case study questions.........best wishes.....

WELL I'D SUGGEST U 2 1ST OF ALL STUDY N ANALYSE THE PAST SUGGESTED ANSWERS OF PCC & IPCC,TRY FOLLOWING THE EXAMINER'S INTENT, 

THEN IF U CAN MANAGE,STUDY 4M PADUKA'S BOOK..........

I ALSO DID THE SAME N GOT EXEMPTION IN IT, I  PREPARED IN JUST 1 MONTH...............

i agree with sahil. past year suggested answer of inst. are very high quality if u read them throughly you understand way of given the answer. so read and use scanner at first level

in IT subject your answer must be to the point dont write drama thinks . 

Padhuka book is good...u can refer that for theory

For I.T go for Compilaton (Nearly 20-25 Marks )

For S.M go for Padhuka 

never go for padhuka for IT 

it is too lengthy and will only confuse u 

so for IT u need to have basic knowledge thats enough and write what u remember and elaborate that 

read from module both it+sm you will score best marks in exams.. 

all the best.

dinesh madaan can be useful for IT

thank u all of you..

For SM learn studymat each n every word

and for IT Dinesh madan dont dare touch studymat for that

i really dont understand why students refer other books for a subject like IT and SM.......I think study material is good for this subject.......atleast SM part is very good..if u just go through it once i think its very interesting subject .....and it has been properly explained also.......provided u have good understanding ability.......i have seen many other books for SM but i truely feel they dont cover everything ......i think its better to read everything from the study material atleast for SM....Students fear the case study that actually comes in the papers for around 10 marks....i think marks can be scored in this part if u can interpret the situation well .......As far as IT is concerned i think all the chapters can be studied from study material ....only the Chapter on flowcharting and decision table is not given properly......that i truely agree with.................Study material is the base......dont leave any topic ......u may refer any other book but make sure the topics have not been left out..................but i truly feel that its better to read the study material because thats complete and reliable......................

its just a personal opinion just match anyother book with the study material.......u know ,u will find that the language is the same........only they have presented it in a different way......(short cut)......

dear friend for it  do chapters like networking,internet,dbms.it,s criteria about 30 or more marks in exam and the question is how u will have to go minimum 5 times reading over these chapters.this is enough to create grip over these chapters.for stg mgmt. do firstly first 4 chapters and then chapter 7th.first 4 chapter criteria around 30  to 35 marks and 10 marks for 7th chapter.

best of luck

thanks & regards
