I would seriously suggest you to go through syllabus first. Go twice, thrice so that it can intact into your mind.

Read all the NCERT first. Go through Polity, History, Geography, Economics, Mathematics (6-10), Science (especially biology part)

After completing these things you can switch to the main syllabus like Laxmikamt, Indian Economics, gc Lee geography and all.
