For open book exams, it is highly recommended to prepare an elaborative index on your own. You may also refer to indexes prepared by tutors, which are often shared on their Instagram pages or YouTube channels, but creating your own index will help you understand the content better.
Based on the index you prepare, go through each page of your book and try to identify and mark at least five key points for every topic. Focus on points that are most relevant from an exam perspective, such as definitions, key provisions, examples, and important explanations.
Once you finish marking these points across the module, take a previous year question paper and attempt to locate and mark the answers using the index you created. This exercise will help you:
• Navigate the book quickly during the exam
• Improve your familiarity with the content
• Save time while searching for answers
If you have chosen CSR as your Open Book subject, please ensure you carry the following:
1. The CSR module along with the elaborative index you prepared
2. The guideline answers from the previous two attempts
These two resources will generally be sufficient to help you write structured answers during the exam.
Additional suggestions:
• Use sticky notes or colored tabs to mark important sections in your book.
• Highlight definitions, provisions, and examples that are frequently asked.
• Practice time management by solving at least one full previous year paper before the exam.
• Keep your index organized topic-wise so you can quickly locate the required content during the exam.
With proper indexing and familiarity with the material, open book exams can become much easier to handle.

I attempted around 80 marks, but whatever I attempted, I wrote with 100% accuracy. I am not used to writing regularly, so writing practice is very important—especially for those who are not working and have more hours to put in.
Those who are working will need to push a little harder, but the effort is worth it. Just focus for these last 3 months—after that, you will be free.

CSR - Needs multiple reading of the module to have a clear understanding of Part 1 CSR since they are purely theoretical with no case laws and in question paper just a phrase or sentence from a page on a particular topic is picked and asked.Please go for indepth reading.

My preperation techniques for open Book :
Selected subject : CSR
One good thing about CSR paper is that we dont have huge provisions and case laws like IPR, IBC..We have to understand the case studies (in this paper specifically)
My preparation tips :
1. Make sure you go through the concepts once or twice. Dont try to apply too much the same approach which we do for other 3 papers ( reading, revising, understanding and evaluating the concepts, etc..)
2. Make sure you practice the past year papers beforing going to exams. I know its bit hard to spend 3 hrs as such for practice exams when there is so much to cover and revise but trust me this will work and this will give you 2 outputs : one is time management (you try to identify and sort answers in the given time). Two is you start bexoming familiar with the contents and where is where.
3. Important tip : Prepare 2 index. One is master index. Capture the important topics highlight it and sort it chapter wise. Second index is try to sort case studies provisions and any other generic information apart from the syllabus (real time examples, illustartions, etc..) this second index will help you during case study and application based questions.

Labour law as Open Book
The labour law study materials is full of bare act and huge chunks of repetitive information. So I would suggest making page based or concept based summaries (in 1 sticky note size) and stick it on the relevant pages… it will also help us to recall the concept during exams.
In case anybody has taken AI as an Elective paper in group 1:
Ensure you are familiar with the content given in the module even if not proficient in the topics. During the exam, the content before the questions tend to be very elaborate. However the questions in themselves tend to be mostly direct ones with a slight bit of rephrasing. So, if you can spot the purpose of the question, you can also spot the answers easily in the Institute material itself.
As such, AI can be very scoring.

For the open book exam, I read the entire syllabus and the supplements around five times before the exam. The goal was not just reading, but becoming completely familiar with where each concept was located.

In an open book exam, preparation should never stop until the moment you receive the question paper. Many assume that because materials are allowed, preparation can be relaxed—but in reality, familiarity with the content is what saves time. Every second before the question paper reaches you is valuable. Use that time to revise, recall headings, and mentally organize the material. When the paper arrives, that familiarity makes a huge difference
Whoever is opting for an IBC open book, ensure you revise the whole book and case laws 3-4 times.
You can carry whatever you want.
1) IBC ascending order Index or Index as per your comfort
2) IBC ICSI study material
3) CRVI study material
4) Hand notes
5) supplements- very important
