[QUOTE=Anum Zara;1026198]8 months are not short. They are more than enough if you do totally dedicated study in these 8 months. Now it is time to study at least 8-12 hours a day to get syllabus covered and to revise it at least twice.
I cannot ask you to follow any 1 specific book as one book is never enough for CSS. It can be a case with a single subject but not for all. I am listing down all books that I am consulting. By these you can get grip on subject.
[B][I]Optional subjects:[/I][/B]
[B][U]For IL:[/U][/B]
1- IL by S.K Kapoor & Tandon
2- IL by JWT for topics according to syllabus

It was my subject in CE-17. I have changed it and I do not recommend to take it as optional. The best book which I have come across yet is Dr. Sultan Khan's book 2017 edition. Also never consult internet for this subject. Questions were in Pakistan's scenario. Not much reliable data is available online. No notes are available. Style of asked questions has been dramatically changed in CE-17. Not a scoring subject after change of syllabus. If you really want to take it as optional buy new book of Dr. Sultan. Solve all past papers. Never go for JWT. It is not good at all. ( I recommend you to switch it with more scoring and safe options)

[B][I]Compulsory subjects:[/I][/B]

Jazak allah. I am thankful to you. I am dropping Pub Ad, I was already not that much sure about it. What other subject do you think will be good for me. I mean the subject which is general and less time consuming.

[QUOTE=pathfynder;1026269]Shall be thankfull if you share ebooks on any online storage web like 4shared.com[/QUOTE]
I have posted few links of books. Can you please be more specific about books you need? I will than try to search and share with all if subjects are relevant to me. Cannot share material of other subjects.

You have two choices then.
1- Environmental Science
2- Gender studies

Let me make it more easy for you. My recommendation is ES because it is more scoring, interesting and can be prepared by 1 book+ internet. Also it will help you in portion of general science & ability. The only disadvantage it has is it takes more time as compared to GS but not too much time. 15-20 days are enough. Gender studies is also another general subject but the problem is that its scoring trend is a little low as compared to ES. Subject is also interesting and can help you in some essays like on topics of violence, women etc. It takes less time to prepare say as 15 days. GS is technical subject. You must get familiarity with terminologies first and then you can prepare topics. One more problem with GS is that to score really well you need to consult at least 3-4 sources like books by local author+ 1 book by foreign author+ human rights report on Pakistan and internet. So, my suggestion is Environmental Sciences.
