How to prepared for UPSC Prelims : –
1.) Polity : – Indian Polity by M.Laxmikanth
Note : – You complete this books ( with an eye on current affairs ) and no need to study anything or any other book for polity no matter which exam.
2.) Economics : –
i) Watch all mrunal.org videos first ( All available on youtube for free , around 87 )
ii) Read any standard book now : – i.e. Indian Economy by Ramesh Singh
iii) Finish the Economic Survey
Note ; – If you complete this ( with an eye on current affairs ) , you need not to study anything extra for economics.
3.) Geography : –
i) 6-7-8 NCERT : – (OLD )Very small and interesting
ii ) 11-12 th NCERT : – New or OLD , Or if possible combination of both
iii ) G.C.Leong
iv) ATLAS Mapping
Note : – This will be ample if Geography is not ur optional ( Need not mention , Current affair is a must for every subject )
i.e. This year France has been in media for very long i.e. Paris Attack , Nice Attack , World Summit , etc
so it is very obvious that question may come based upon Geographical aspect of France . and this applies on every subject.
4.) Environment , Ecology : –
i) If u are very bad in basic environment , i would advise u to watch some environment video online i.e. mrunal , unacademy , etc
ii) Shankar IAS Book
iii ) Current affairs is of extreme importance in this subject
5 ) History : –
i) Modern Indian : – Spectrum
ii) Art & Culture : – Vision PT 365 booklet ( hardly 15-20 pages )
iii) Rest Part : – Any book , notes u like ( Generally most of question in hostory are from modern india and culture only , however u must study Buddhism , Jainism , etc too )
6) General Science : – 6-10 NCERT or TMH book on General Science + Current Affairs
7) Current Affairs : – You can study it from anywhere , however VISION IAS Monthly current affairs will be a good choice.
Keep in mind that no exam is beyond ur capacity . It’s all whether u want it or not.
Don’t just stuck in SSC Loop , giving exams year by year . Get 1 job no matter which and give ur best for UPSC. Have faith in GOD . U will get success a day for sure.
Any doubt will be welcomed under comment section , as and when i will get time , i will surely answer.
Keep following SSC to UPSC.
