Hi,
You may go for any weekend/regular coaching options and obtain notes from there to revise along or may begin with self-study by practicing quantitative aptitude from R. S Aggarwal book, Logical reasoning from Arihant Publications and English comprehensions and vocabulary. For General Studies, you may start reading NCERTs from class 9th - class 12th for geography, history, polity, art and culture like a novel and simply develop a habit of keeping a record of daily news. Following up with year book and journals like Kurukshetra and Yojana will be an additional point. All the Best. -
A dozen of books are available online. You can check at Amazon or Flipkart.
