Tips regarding IAS book selection
It’s not necessary to read 201-heavy-weight-books to clear IAS! But considering the competition and vast syllabus, there is no doubt that UPSC exam preparation cannot be done without some essential books. Quality books act as add-ons to your online preparation and help a lot in self-study. Concentrate on the recommended books mentioned on this website along with NCERT books for daily study and use additional books as references.
Of course, there are many more books. Also, a lot of new books/editions are mentioned as the forthcoming item on e-commerce sites like Flipkart or Amazon. We have listed only the best, considering the fact that it is not practical to read a lot many books within a limited time frame. Also, though some books are promising, there are low-quality books too, which does not add any value to the UPSC exam perspective. All our lists are just indicative in nature, to generate awareness about new books available in the market for UPSC/IAS self-study. Also please note that readers/publishers/authors are free to suggest any book be added to the list.
