How many hours should one study for the preparation?

                                                                                                      - Ashok 

With the right preparation material any thing between 8 to 10 hours of quality study is sufficient. Regularity in the preparation is most important. The essence being that it is not only important to study hard but also to study smart.

The other important issue is that most of the successful students say that they had studied 18 hours-20 hours. It is immensely impossible, so don’t get carried away from these Interviews. The main issue is that not only how many hours one studied, it is the quality matters i.e. how much one recall the matter during the exams.
