Read newspapers regularly for the latest happenings in and around the world.
Read magazines that cover varied topics ranging from economy to business to trade policies to the latest awardees in the fields of sports, art, literature. In short, just be aware of all the topics because questions can come from anywhere.
Refer to past question papers and see the pattern of occurrence of the questions. That will give you an idea as to which topics to concentrate on.

English:
To prepare for Comprehension passage, one can develop the habit of reading the newspaper regularly. Reading the newspaper improves not only one's vocabulary but also one's knowledge about the subject.
One can refer to Synonyms -antonyms books to clear the concepts
Try solving past year's question papers so that you have an idea of what to expect

Essay:
I would recommend THE HINDU & THE TIMES OF INDIA.The Hindu gives you simple & effective writing style while TOI gives u stylish English & increases your vocabulary.Both are needed to write a good Essay
