First Year - Collateral Reading Topics

I know...I know...You will be definitely frustrated for not being able to think about collateral reading topics. Therefore I have collected all the topics those are written by our batch. I have mentioned Year wise! so that will gonna help you out each semester.

Note: These topics are really important, not just for your collateral reading but also help in your two years of curriculum, Fieldwork viva, placement, etc. So read and prepare short notes on these topics for your benefit.

I have gathered all the topics below from my batchmates, and I want to thank all of them for sharing all the details. I want to let you know that I did not mention sources for particular topics, and you might be thinking, "Itna bataya hai to sources bhi likh hi dete sath mein...."

But I want you to put in some effort by utilizing Google, ChatGPT, or a library to get that information. 😉 All the topics have been categorized to the best of my knowledge. There is a possibility that certain topics may also fit into other categories.
