CA Vikas Oswal’s book on audit, CA Bhawar Borana’s book on direct tax, and Yogender Bangar’s book on indirect tax were the books she mentioned. Aside from that, the majority of the preparations were done using web resources. In response to a question on the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on exam preparation, Ruth stated that while she did not take the exams in the first wave, the second wave was extremely stressful for her because the exam dates were not verified. Ruth is pleased with her accomplishments, but she is equally focused on her next goal. She had made the decision to take the UPSC Civil Service exam.

She advises people who will take the exam using the old course to evaluate their performance and determine whether to convert or continue with their previous attempt.
