You can prepare at home also you just need to clear your basics, update yourself with current affairs and knowledge with the help of newspapers and Pratiyogita Darpan magazines. If you are seeking for the advice in which stream you should persue graduation then personally I would like to suggest you to go for Bachelor in Arts degree course.
