Aspirants can balance theoretical knowledge and practical application by integrating case studies and real-world examples into their study routine. Engaging with current affairs and relevant news articles enables candidates to see practical implications of theoretical concepts. Additionally, incorporating mock tests and practical exercises, such as group discussions and debates, helps bridge this gap. Participating in internships or volunteer work can also provide experiential learning, enhancing their understanding and retention of key topics necessary for both Prelims and Mains.
