You should prepare for one group only but give exam for both the groups as because you can get exemption and you never know if other group's papers are easy and the group for which you are prepared are tough papers.
And also you can get benefit of set off in case you are short in aggregate.
HI NIKITA! WELL I SHOULD RECOMMEND U 2 GO 4 BOTH GROUPS,BUT IT ALSO DEPENDS ON WHETHER U HAV TAKEN COACHING FOR SOME SUBJECTS (ESPECIALLY PRACTICAL SUB).....................SO WHAT IS UR SITUATION AT PRESENT?

Both Group or Single Group
It depends on your preparation and availability of time along with your capability to handle both group at a time. As per my understanding one should go for single group. My suggestion is not baseless and based on long term professional success and further supported by the following points:
1. By giving one group one can fully concentrate on true and expert examination preparation.
2. By giving one group one can fully utilize his/her time and gain full knowledge of course.
3. According to me group clearance is not the only parameter of success.
4. By giving one group this time one can arrange some time for himself/herself which is very important. Self assessment is also important.
5. Appearance in both group is not a guarantee of success.
These points are based on my personal thinking and helped me a lot in my professional exam preparation and prevent me from failure along with good application of my knowledge.
I personally feel that a reasonable distinction is required to be drawn between quick success and long term professional success with good knowledge.

i would strongly recommend 1 group. There is no such scenario like studying for one group and giving both. i dont think anybody can do that. u get tempted and try to study for both and i doing so lose out on both. :-)
