Since this Exam is being conducted very first time so there is not much material available on the internet. Also no good book is available and students are forced to join the coaching institutes which all the students cannot afford.

After so much research I came across books by ARIHANT publication for the self preparation of the EXAM. These books cost around Rs. 200 and are available at good book stores. This book covers all the subjects coming in the exam and contains large number of solved and unsolved questions for practice.

This book is available in both English and Hindi Medium. Hope you would find it useful.
