Noting down anything that seems relevant or important will surely prove beneficial. There might be focus on some issues peculiar to the state of Telangana.

Current Affairs

Be consistent, read newspapers and follow online news websites. Ensure that you have an understanding of the happenings around you. Watching news channels will also help you analyse an issue from different angles, and will help especially if you are a visual learner.

Aptitude for the Study of Law

This is an important section. Though it is not necessary to delve too deep, it is imperative to have a grasp of the basic concepts and sections in areas of law such as torts, contracts, criminal law, family law, etc. You will also have to learn important articles of the constitution, and significant dates in India’s legal history. This can be learnt through various websites or from entrance-exam preparation books.

General Tips

Chart out a course of action: Make a list of strengths and weaknesses, sections in which you score well and those in which you do not. Make a list of topics that must be covered. Find out which method of studying works best for you. Develop an optimal strategy for attempting the exam.

Plan out a study timetable: Study whenever you can work. It is imperative that you do not alter your sleep cycles in order to do what someone else is doing. Remember to accommodate time for exercise and recreation, they are required to keep your mind fresh.

Set daily targets and ensure that you meet them: If you are going for classes, factor them in, but remember that self-study is absolutely essential. Set realistic targets, because if you plan to do more than what you can actually manage, you might get discouraged.

Look after your health: Ensure that you get adequate sleep (but do not oversleep). Eat healthy, wholesome food, because falling sick will cost you heavily in terms of time.

Prioritise: There will always be urges to go out with friends, watch movies, play games, attend family functions and the like, but remember that you can do these things even after the exam. Every moment you spend working will improve your chances of doing well in the exam. That being said, do take breaks, but do not take too many. And to ensure that you enjoy your breaks, ensure that you work hard when you are supposed to be working, otherwise that will keep playing on your mind when you are supposed to be taking a break.
