questions in different sections are different every year, so you cannot plan to

application in daily life. NCERT books are undoubtedly important to gain basic

question if it is time consuming. Leave it for last and move on to the next
question. You can attempt mock tests to check the necessary improvements in
time management. © 2021 anupamabedi |
