You should definitely make good hold on your general knowledge and Current Affairs as it is the main key aspect. - Daily newspaper reading is a must but I never did that (given my time constraint). I preferred watching daily news analysis of The Hindu from one of the youtube channels. There are plethora of options out there. SEE what suits you best. I never made notes out of it. It was just to remain aware of what is going on in the world. - Secondly, on the monthly basis I used to watch monthly GK capsule by a youtube channel named Endeavour (to cover the important highlights of the month for the quick revision)
Lastly, towards the end of my preparation, it was the time for a final revision. THEN IT COMES TO YOUR STATIC PART -
- GK by Manohar Pandey (Arihant publication). It costed me around 30 bucks back then (imagine how slim it was as a book). I referred to this book for polity and history. The idea was to cover the width and not the depth. To understand the topics better, I used to watch random youtube videos. However, my final point of reference was this book only. -History and Polity done, now comes the geography part. Here it was the game of visualization so I again took help from youtube. Please note that you can get the basic topics to read from anywhere, what matters is the medium you're consuming it from. Make sure your refer to the interactive sources. -Then there is the miscellaneous part- everything from the superlatives, the international organisation to tribes and what not. For these topics, I again watched random videos and many a times, I found amazing tricks to learn. While it may sound so unplanned, trust me that when you keep doing over a period of time, you realize its working. I hope it helps.
