For English: as i am frm english medium so it ws not tough for me even english section asked in exams it is not so tough ..all you need us to do reading as much as you can it vl b vry helpful in building your vocab ,in sentence formation, error detection and also in fillers. read 2-3 RC on daily basis, learn 10 new words daily and revise it weekly and remaining english section will be covered in your mock ..

For Maths: first develop and clear your concepts of evry topic by following any mentor on youtube ..if you feel anything is important make a note of it .for prelims all u need is speed and accuracy so give as many mocks you can give to build speed focus on simplification, approximation,quadratic equation,number series and wrong series try to solve atleast 20 question of each per day with timer it will boost ur calculation speed.

For Mains your concepts should b clear and sharp give one mains mock and analysis of it thoroughly and solve 4-5 DI sets daily of moderate to high level and give mains quizzes solve  arithmetic questions at least 30-40 questions you will find sample of question online so solve it so per day you’ll solve 50 from mock +40 others total 90 questions in a day
