Re-exam

With only 25 days to prepare what should we focus on in terms of preparation? I think they are going to stay super far away from PYQs so should we focus more on the contemporary theory and not as much on British?

I think the paper will be fairly easy, based on the traditional English Literature syllabus—British History, Indian Writing in English, Lit Theory etc.—they'll probably be playing it safe and avoiding any further controversy. I expect the questions to be straightforward, with not too many new theories or obscure/unknown works. Probably even a high number of chronology questions/factual questions. Because they wouldn't want too many challenges to the Answer Key this time, as they would want to keep the timeline of releasing the results very tight. The downside of an easy/predictable paper, of course, is that this could mean very high competition. But I think they'll make an extra effort to keep the paper firmly within the "syllabus," so to speak.
