- Yes, self-study is sufficient provided you have access to high-quality resources, standard textbooks, and a disciplined evaluation mechanism.
- Scoring high requires rigorous syllabus mapping and mastering foundational theories through self-paced learning.
- Success depends on your ability to analyze previous year questions (PYQs) independently and seek external feedback—through mock tests or peer review—to bridge the gap between content knowledge and exam-oriented answer structure.
