Students  must  attain  conceptual  clarity  on  these  core  concepts  and  practice  to  solve

questions  corresponding  to  them.  They  should  solve  questions  of  different  varieties  and

levels  from  a  list  of  carefully  chosen  reference  sources,  e.g.,  textbooks,  reference  guide

books, on­line quizzes, mock tests, etc. Key theoretical concepts can be cracked by drawing

a  correlating  diagram  of  different  mechanical  systems.  This  also  comes  in  handy  while

solving numerical problems.
