General/Financial Awareness — the game-changer

• Daily: read EkoDemy Current Affairs Daily Brief (10 minutes) and add facts to a one-page sheet.
• Weekly: revise RBI tools — repo, SDF, MSF, CRR, SLR, and the new FERR and forex hedging limits.
• Monthly: schemes, appointments, awards (Nobel 2026), sports.

Computer Aptitude

Cover memory units, shortcut keys, networking basics, MS Office, internet security. These are quick marks.

Mock analysis rule

For every mock, note: questions skipped that you could solve, silly mistakes, and time sinks. Re-attempt them after 3 days.
