- Choosing optional subject : Science subjects v/s Humanities subject
Science subjects are more objective and have more of certainty as compared to Humanities subjects. Humanities subject have overlaps in the general studies papers. Thus, from strategy point of view, both type of subjects have their own advantages and disadvantages. A candidate can score good in either of the subject. It depends on individual’s strategy.
- Booklist for Prelims
Indian Polity by Laxmikant, A Brief History Of Modern India by Rajiv Ahir, Environment by ShankarIAS, Goh Cheng Leong, Certificate Physical and Human Geography, NCERT books
- Bookllist/ Sources to prepare GS Paper 1 ( Mains)
NCERT books are very helpful for Mains as well and one should try to go through them before examination.
For geography, I did not do anything special since it was my optional. While writing the answers I ensured that I do not write highly technical stuff.
For Indian Society, I relied mostly on Class XI and XII NCERT books. I also prepared topic wise notes based on newspaper articles.
For History, I relied mostly on NCERT books. I also prepared for personalities individually e.g. National leaders Governor Generals etc.
For Art and Culture, apart from NCERT books, I went through CCRT website.
- Bookllist/ Sources to prepare GS Paper 2 ( Mains)
Indian Polity by Laxmikant gives enough factual information to support your answers with. I tried to provide Constitutional article numbers/Acts etc wherever possible.
For IR topics, I visited Ministry of external affairs site. Also I made my own notes from the newspaper articles. My coaching notes also proved to be helpful.
For topics like “Issues relating to poverty and hunger”, I tried to gather current status, measures taken etc from various reports and news articles.

For economics, I mostly relied in Class XI and XII NCERT and newspaper and coaching notes.
I did not do anything extra for Science and Technology except reading The Hindu.
For topics related to Internal security, I again made notes based on newspaper articles.
I also listed major acts/bills/schemes/policies and their major provisions.
- Bookllist/ Sources to prepare GS Paper 4 ( Mains)
For theories and thinkers, I went through Ethics, Integrity and Aptitude for Civil Services Examination by G. Subba Rao apart from my coaching notes. Further, I prepared my own notes explaining and differentiating the jargon.
Most helpful would be to give a deeper thought about any and every issue that comes up while reading newspaper. While doing so one should try to think of various ethical dimensions, ethical/legal issues, possible options etc.
