  • History: Followed Spectrum for Modern History, emphasising INC sessions and freedom fighters.
  • Economics: Used Mrunal for static concepts and current developments.
  • Art and Culture: Studied NCERT Fine Arts, covering dance forms, temple architecture, and festivals.

INTERVIEW: CONFIDENCE AND RELEVANCE 

For the personality test, Mr. Kambale focused on his Detailed Application Form (DAF), current affairs, and scenario-based questions. He linked personal experiences to socio-economic issues.

“Mock interviews refine communication skills and build confidence,” he advised. During the actual interview, he adapted his responses to the board’s temperament, staying composed and confident.
