Hello Aspirant,

Hope your doing good

5th semester, according to me, is the right time to start your preparations. Obviously the first question comes in anyone's mind is whether they should join a coaching class or prepare themselves.

Both of them have pros and cons. Coaching brings discipline in your preparations along with systematic approach. However, there's a lot of time wasted in classes since these classes cover a large number of people.

Grade A is the most important and the basic subjects which you should cover as early as possible. Grade B subjects are moderately important. Grade C subjects are comparatively less important.

If you plan your preparations strategically, there's no need to join coaching classes for sure.

Good Luck for everything ahead:)
