Prelims Strategy

Focus on memorizing exact constitutional articles (21A, 15(5)), statutory sections (12, 13), and landmark case names with years. Create comparison charts for aided vs unaided schools, EWS vs DG categories, and state-wise income limits.

Practice elimination techniques by understanding common traps like minority institution scope, reimbursement formulas, and implementation timelines. Use mnemonics for remembering key features and exemptions.

Regular revision of current affairs related to RTE amendments and court judgments is crucial.
