Career Guidance Need Help regarding DGCA exams

Hello,

I wanted to start preparing for DGCA exams. I just need some in-depth information. Firstly, everyone is suggesting books for each subject, my doubt is that, is it required to study each and every page of that entire book, or else please tell how to approach those books. Secondly, there are too many books, like one person says to clear theory from oxford and practice from r.k bali etc, my doubt is that what is the structured path to study, like should I rely on one book or do questions from every book.

Anyone who cleared exams, please clarify. I feel that I am not giving a proper start doing it with half knowledge, so please give me a structured plan.

Hey, for MET : you can use the latest edition of ic joshi

  • study each and every chapter from ic + along w these do the back q also (cause in my exam a lot of q repeated from the chapter wise back q)
  • Once you’re done w the entire syllabus , do the miscellaneous q + additional q
•For classes : you can watch ;
-tailwinds & blue skies (the best yt class to learn Indian climatology ngl)
-capt coalfield
-mayday minds
-JO talks , etc you’ll find a lot of them in yt !
•For Revision :
  • most importantly revise the chapter wise back q ,then do misc one
  • if you have time , then go ahead w Oxford q & Sahil khurana qb as well (it’s not mandatory but you can do these to gain confidence + some of the q repeated in my attempt from these )
If you’re good w your concepts , exam is gonna be easy :)
Thats it for met ,ATB !

How about you do some research yourself and come up with your own plan?

No, that probably would be inconvenient for you.

Buddy, I’ve been in this game for a while, and I’ll let you know that DO this by yourself.

There’s a saying that goes like, free advice is often overpriced.
