Q: Are there separate books for technical vs non-technical sections?
A: Yes. Technical books cover engineering and computer fundamentals, while non-technical books include math, reasoning, science, and awareness.
Q: Can I rely solely on one author like R. S. Aggarwal?
A: Aggarwal is excellent for math and reasoning, but you’ll need other authors (Verma, Halliday, Lucent, YCT) to cover science, engineering, and practice sets.
Q: How often should I practice mock tests?
A: Minimum one full-length test weekly; increase frequency in the final months to 3–4 per week.
Choosing the right books—like Aggarwal for reasoning, Halliday for physics, Verma for science, Lucent for awareness, and YCT for mock practice—lays a strong foundation. Use this guide to build your 2025 study plan, alternating learning with testing, and consistently improve.
