"A basic understanding of current affairs by reading newspapers and other magazines is an important task for students preparing for such competitive exams. I had prepared my schedule and followed it diligently. I was simultaneously preparing for the law degree course and was active in college activities during the CDS exam preparation period," she said.

Solving mock question papers to crack the exam, seeking father's assistance on ways to face interviews were others methods she engaged in while preparing for the examination.

Shruti says that she studied law because of the skills.  It helped her develop her public speaking, debating, skills and helped her form an informed opinion about the current political issues in the country through the moot court events.

Shruti will be going for a year-long training in Chennai before proceeding on a posting.
