Prelims 2018 guidance

An introduction:

It's october! So it's 8 months more to ink the OMR's for 2018 CSE aspirants. It's the right time to start preparing for prelims 2018.

First as you know there are 2 papers. 
Each weigh 200 marks
paper1 (GS) = 100*2 and the paper2 (CSAT) = 80*2.5.

My kind advise is to practice CSAT PAPERS as much as possible. Because, it's actually an qualifying paper for correcting paper1 (33% to qualify) .

Coming to paper 1,

You gotta note some important things to KNOW from newspapers ,
