Strategy:( Only for reference as you are the best judge of yourself so please customize as per your need)
(1) ANCIENT INDIA: old ncert and 2 or 3 sectional mock papers of any good classes with explanation.
if possible try to converge areas like ART AND CULTURE ( book of Nitin Singhania and again 2 or 3 well explained mock papers of a&c.
(2)MEDIAEVAL INDIA: Tamilnadu state book will be a good source.. Focus on art and culture part of this period.
Do not give excessive time over these portions as Return on Investment is low.
(3)MODERN INDIA: A brief history of modern india by specturm will serve the purpose for prelims as well as for mains examination.
Try some mock papers as it will make ur mind more alert towards silly mistakes and gives you more diverse views and questions
GEOGRAPHY: Ncerts of 11th and 12th standard will almost cover all aspects. For additional reading ppt of rajtanil madam on mrunal.org will be enough. Give atleast 2 mock papers of physical geography.
