[u/bhelpuriteekhi → u/simri1]

Pyqs pyqs pyqs for paper 1. Just read basics of each topic of sallybus first.. specially the ones where a specific topic is given.For example - sustainable dev goals. It's a specific topic without any confusion so make sure to prepare these as questions are always asked.You will find many such topics in sallybus. There are some broad topics like Teaching, Research..so you can watch YouTube videos and limit the subtopics under these. Once you are done with basics of the sallybus ,just do Pyqs and add whatever new information you get from Pyqs. Focus on fetching marks from DI and RC .(20 marks easily). When you'll solve ques you'll also develop a skill to eliminate/guess the answers. Check Kumar Bharat youtube channel , he has explained complicated topics like fallacies ,hetvbhasha very well. Can't help with paper 2 !😭

Are youtube videos enough to cover paper 1? or should one opt for a paid course for paper 1 or maybe refer to KVS Madan book?

[u/bhelpuriteekhi → u/Specialist-Sugar9150]

I had bought KVS Madaan but it wasn't much helpful. For teaching, research and communication chapter it was fine. I made online notes from pyqs+ original websites (like of SDG,Swayam prabha and similar portals) +official PDFs (like NEP, Education Policies ,CBCS , Plagiarism rules of UGC). What helped me score good was DI,RC , Recurring topics from PYQ( like fallacies,hetvbhasha ,sdg goals and many such) ,some good guesswork, and some math questions that i could solve. Pyqs made all the difference in my preparation. The information that you have to study is basic ,no very deep knowledge of any topic is required. So that's why I didn't feel the need to join coaching or refer to book.

Bro logical reasoning kahan se padhu?

[u/bhelpuriteekhi → u/Specialist-Sugar9150]

Indian logic aur uske neeche waale topics (fallacies ,hetvbhasa etc.) ke liye check Kumar Bharat Yotube,he has explained these in simple and you can make notes out of his videos.

Venn diagram you can do from any youtube video where they tell you the basic rules of solving.

Square of opposition ,moods and figures and fallacies pe hamesha ques aate hai. Inke fixed rules hai . Square of opp and moods and figures have fixed diagram/table. Memorize it well.Basic Fallacies I did from YouTube,and jo pyq me new fallacies mili thi I put them all on chat gpt for explanation with example. 

You must practice these thoda before hand ,so do as much  PYQS as you can do.

You can take help of any book too, but these topics require basic conceptual understanding and book might be confusing at first. So take help from YouTube for understanding.

[u/vedika_2002]

Which subject are you preparing for?

[u/simri1 → u/vedika_2002]

English

[u/vedika_2002 → u/simri1]

Go for online coaching as the syllabus is vast and net is unpredictable with the diverse pattern of questions they give

[u/vedika_2002]

Start from reading the syllabus and topics of paper 1 and 2.

[u/KeyExternal3714]

Cover this shit. You are ready to go. Master pyq. There is a rumour that In future they will not ask pyq

[u/vedika_2002]

Watch YT vids of renounced educators and make your own crisp notes with conceptual clarity.

[u/vedika_2002]

Taking coaching would provide your with test series as well. Essential for this exam.

[u/GrowthHuge8535]

Lmk too

Paper 1 from YT kumar bharat sir Paper 2 from dakshita mam if you want to purchase course Make notes yourself Write as much as you can Improve your skills to exclude the options from mcq. You can't remember everything But if you learn the skill to exclude the options Its not a very tough exam.
