@m007 Hindi isn't mine as well. People at the work place make fun of my accent, so to improve I try to use as much as I can. Writing is fine, but, my speaking is horrible. Even I don't understand what comes out of my mouth.

Please fill in the topics from sheet1 to the syllabus tab.
As for the completion %, type in any number from 0-100 and see the boxes change color. So say you wanted to begin sylv on 3rd, but finished only 50% and then finished on 10th. Type 0, 50 and 100, that will help you track and visualize your progress. Make a copy and use it for your chem and prelim prep, its too much for forestry ^_^
You need to answer few questions to yourself first :::
1. How much sure you are about getting 140+ in common screening exam? I'm saying 140 because if you get in range of 130 you will not be sure about final call for IFoS mains. Anyway, this year you wont read between screening and Civils mains.
This question becomes critical, as this will decide your use of upcoming months. As this year screening is early, you have hardly time till Feb/March to study one optional if you so want.
2. This year IFoS mains is afterwards.So if you have one optional common in both the civils and forests, remaining 3 week should be sufficient to mug up additional optional. I dont think there is much difference in marks you can pull off just be reading Forestry before/earlier. As in the interim period of 3 months before screening, you will (mostly) forget all. So only question you need to answer is, is there one optional common between both civils n forests?
3. All the stress should be on screening. It is not easy to score there. You should try all steps under the sky for that.
4. Are you working? If yes, please only concentrate on screening. A mere reading before March of other optional like forestry is advisable.
5. Competition is also from Zoology+Botany or Botany+Forestry or Animal Husbandry+Botany and most important Maths+Forestry students.
6. Geology only serves the purpose of getting a call for interview. It is hard to convert with that, especially if you don't have geology background. Next year with IFS mains afterwards, geology will loose its shine even more. It got butchered this year already with tough questions. There is also a risk of geology questions being funked in interviews. Avoid Geology if its not your background. Take Chemistry instead. Most of you are IITians, you would easily understand Chemistry.
7. Geography in Civils and Geology in Forests wont be effective this year, is high likelihood.
So my overall advise would be a reading of forestry before March and thats it. Try your soul and heart in screening preparation. Rest would follow.
Regards and happy new year.
