If you doesn't at all touch IT , SM then go first for SM.As it contains only 7 chapters and each chapter merely takes 2-3 hrs.Also our ICAI's study material on SM is also good,or you can refer P.S. Rathore Sir's book of SM,that's best and fully based on Study Material and contains short notes.

For IT try to do important chapters only - viz, Fundamentals of Computers and Softwares,Internet.These doesn't take more time if your IT's basic are ok ok.

Further Concentrate more on SM , it really helps in passing and easy also.

As i thinks you have to go for the IT first as in the IT the examiner rewards us full marks or more marks rather than SM.As the IT is a technical subject the institute demands only a working knowledge from us.You have to prepare in Full for IT in simple language becoz if you write more answers in just simple language you gets a good reward rather than just writing the less in technical language.As regarding Sm take the little understanding of each topic which can help you to get around 10-15 marks in SM and the remining marks you can score in the IT.
