Start with a quick revision of NCERT/standard notes for Polity, Geography, and General Science, then add Manipur-focused history and culture reading. Practice topic-wise MCQs to strengthen accuracy and speed, and revise wrong answers the next day. For Current Affairs, focus on 3–6 months of relevant national and Manipur-related updates using reliable sources. Since there is no negative marking, attempt all questions but avoid careless guesses by eliminating obvious wrong options.
