any recommended institute to study PMS syllabus in Gujranwala?

Posted by Awais Ali

One can buy books from from Urdu Bazar Lahore, but i would recommend to find a decent library where you can find most of the books related to PMS. Use that library more often, make a schedule and start your preparations.
Many people get scared of making a schedule. It is highly recommended but if one can manage to achieve his 60% of tasks daily. He/She is doing good.
Best of Luck
