Really a great blog post !
I will love to seek your kind guidance on one of the topic. My wife has done M.A. in Sanskrit and B.Ed. (English & Home Science)from Rajasthan. Can you please help me to answer following questions:

– As she had Home Science as well in her graduation and B.Ed., do you see a Home Science a less competitive option than Sanskrit?
– What will be the best book for July 2014 exam and what should be study strategy to crack it for sure?
Thanks a ton in anticipation.
