Books play an important role in any preparation, be it life or any exam. The UPSC examination is divided into Preliminary examination, Mains Examination, and Interview.

 

You have to clear every Step of the exams with maximum marks so that your rank will be higher and your chances of getting through this year's examination will be maximum. In this article, we will be discussing the books needed for Prelims and Mains Exams. Let’s take a look;

 

Preliminary Exam:

●       Ancient History - RS Sharma (NCERT Class 11)

●       Medieval History - Satish Chandra (NCERT Class 11)

●       Modern History - Bipin Chandra (NCERT)

●       India's Struggle for Independence - Bipin Chandra

●       Modern Indian - Spectrum

●       Art and Culture: Intro to Indian Art (NCERT Class 11)

●       Economic Survey

●       Polity: Indian Polity by Laxmikant

●       Science: NCERT

●       Current Affairs: Shubhraviraj & Insight daily current

●       Environment: Shankar IAS

 

The preliminary examination can be covered if you complete the above books. Apart from these books, revision is a must. Cover as much as you can and then revise it diligently. You have to mainly focus on these 5 points to get through any examination.

1.     Understand History Syllabus & Previous Year Questions:

If you are wondering where to start, then I would recommend you to start with the understanding of the syllabus & analyze the previous year's questions of Prelims & Mains to understand the pattern of the exam. In this process, you will also know what kinds of questions are being asked.

 

2.     Focus on NCERTs:

When you are done with the understanding of the syllabus and previous year's questions, you should start your preparation with NCERT’s Textbooks. Reading from Old NCERT for Histories like RS Sharma for Ancient, Satish Chandra for Medieval, and Bipan Chandra for Modern.

 

3.     Current Affairs is a must:

The above-mentioned information will help to strengthen your concepts and also you can cover the static parts. History is somehow interlinked with Current Affairs, so it is majorly important to have a good knowledge of Current affairs, you must be good with History language too.

 

4.     MCQ’s Test: 

MCQ’s or Multiple Choice questions are on the topics of subjects, they are vital for clear understanding and proper practice, and quick revisions. These tests will help you in analyzing your progress and checking your understanding of a topic.

 

By solving MCQs or previous year's question papers, you will get to know your strengths and weaknesses and where you stand among your competitors. This will help you a lot in improvising your strategy. Remember this, having a good strategy can help you in a way you have never imagined.

 

The most important point I get to learn at Shubhraviraj is,” READ, REVISE, TEST and REPEAT”

 

Always remember this, consistency is the key and discipline can take you to the places where you have never thought off.
