Ever wondered?
Why do you fail repeatedly?
And why do people like us clear every year, despite only 4-5 days of preparation post final result?)

Watch this at 2x, you will get the answer!!!!
Good Luck

What is the meaning of
Efficiency > Slogging?
What is Pareto Optimisation?

Abraham Lincoln once said,
"Give me six hours to chop down a tree and I will spend the first four sharpening the ax"
This statement beautifully summarises this exam. If slogging 10 hours a day was meant for this exam, then people would not fail prelims/mains repeatedly(5 times 6 times etc).

This exam needs USE OF BOTH, Mind And Hand. But the hand will work efficiently ONLY IF, mind has done its job. Fundamentally, OUR JOB at NFU is to get your mind at work!!!

Modern History Answer Practice ✅
Steps of learning?
1. Prepare the subject before session
2. Questions are flashed on screen on the day of writing
3. Recall and write them in disciplined and time-bound manner
4. Discuss with peer about the demand of questions.
5. Revisit your answers and do course correction
6. Check out the solutions later on and improvise
7. Prepare next subject in 1 day and write it next day
8. End of week get 1-1 discussion of answers and solution in 4-LAWS format ✅

One subject complete in One week✅ @nfu_official
Using DISCIPLINE as a resource

What this person is doing, only this and only this work can be done between prelims and mains.
That is, "work of puttee पुट्टी"

If you think you can "build the walls" using brick, soil and cement then you are mistaken. Even "work of plaster" cannot be done at that time

Only work that can be done is, putte, paint and aesthetics. Period.
In other words, REVISION, INTERLINKAGES AND PLACEMENT on the copy can be done and not building the content and PYQs
Good Luck.
@nfu_official

Let me give you mantra i used to follow during JEE days.

Meant for Prelims People.
REVISIT THE SCENE OF CRIME.
Observe what went wrong and why?
1. Why you couldn't answer your known stuff.
2. What could have been prepared which was not earlier.
3. What can't be done and should be left to be studied.

Good Luck

Making Notes => Memorise ❌
Memorize => Making Notes ✅
(If you want High Efficiency in your work, then instead of memorizing after making notes, you should make notes after memorizing).
