Revised Syllabus And Recommendations
Dear Aspirants,
I am getting dozen ov emails on my account, asking for one single Book that can cover the entire subject in just one go. You people have to understand that you can not find each and every topic in just "One Single Book".
Not even Encyclopedia Provide all the answers in one single book, you have to go through 32 different volume ov Books for different answers.
Yes The Syllabus has changed, But i would again say that the Books that we were following previously are good enough to cover the entire Syllabus. But this time you have to divide the syllabus in
Two Parts.
