Five Indispensable Books

For paper-III
1. D.D.Basu Introduction to
the Constitution of India 20
Edition
2. Indian Polity for Civil
Services Examinations 4th

3. Select Constitutions: 16th

TWO RECOMMENDED BOOKS
(Only If You Have More Time At
Your Disposal) Both By
Granville Austin Classics On

Indian Polity
1) The Indian Constitution:

Cornerstone of A Nation (Classic
Reissue) Review
2) Working a Democratic
Constitution: A History of the Indian
Experience Review
A SMALL LECTURE
Until now we saw what books to
read. Now the question is how to
remember most of the things we
read and how to translate them into
better answers.
A common mistake most of the

aspirants commit is reading so
many books for a single
topic.This mistake costs both
your time and ability to
remember things clearly and
concisely.
Stick to a single source and read
it again and again. Remember
The Same Source. Avoid the
temptation of doing Research on
a topic.
Always Remember UPSC tests
Basic Understanding. Not mastery
over a topic.
Make short notes on each topic.
It is while making notes that
readers tend to do RESEARCH

and scout various sources. Stick
to one book even if you are not
100% satisfied with it.
Remember that old saying?
Jack of all trades, master of
NONE. If you try to do Research,
most probably your name wont
appear in the Final List. I
guarantee it.
For Paper-II (i.e GS-1) being
thorough with Current Events
plays a crucial role in enabling
you to acquire analytical skills.
Very Important Part In The

Preparation
Writing. Writing. Writing.

But what? One must practice
answer writing to Previous year
questions, or take a Mock Test.
Whatever, before you enter
examination hall, you must have
spent lot of time on answer
writing.
Most Important Part In The

Preparation
Revision. Revision. Re-Revision.

You do this and you appear for
the Personality Test.
If you dont Revise what you read
all these months you slightly
miss the Personality Test, or You
narrowly miss appearing in the

Final List.
Well, to sum up. To get the interview

call all you need to do is: Read, Re-
read the same source, Write and
Revise.
Preparation for this paper can be

finished in 20 days provided you are
focused and determined.
Of course. Eat well, Sleep well and

Keep a good health. If you get a
running nose on the day of the
exam, 2 hours out of 3 hours goes in
draining it and drying it.

hi Sir,
First of all I am thankful for initiating this
site. I can say this is the base for every
IAS aspirant. I am facing few difficulties
during my preparation. Well, I am
attempting for 2014. As I am left with 7
months for exam..day by day a sense of
fear is increasing whether i can complete
the portion or not. Is it possible to
complete the portion 7 months duration
with revision? For which reading is it
better to make notes i mean like 1st
reading or so?And I am finding difficulty
in managing the time. I am attempting
secure 2014 questions but spending lot of
time on it and at the same time I am
unable to complete the standard books.
How can I improve my writing?

what about Granville Austins books,can u
give a sort of review about his books.
INSIGHTS
You can read his commentaries on our
constitution, you can also go through
constituent assembly debates, but I feel

one should stick to few sources.
On your recommendation, I will give links
to his books and their reviews one can
read them after Mains though.
I have not read them to write a review,
when I do, I would love to.

INSIGHTS
I think you should read D D Basu also.

Though laxmikant covers all the topics,
you should be in a position to answer
tough questions too. Some topics like first
5 chapters in D D Basu must be read from
that book only.
You should stick to one book for certain
topics. One book can not cover all topics
well.

commendable work sir. Kindly provide

INSIGHTS
Thank you. Sure.
Kirthi
Sir,what about Subhash Kashyap- our
political system can it be done instead
of our parliament ? It seems to cover
others topics as well..
INSIGHTS
Our political system is also a good book. I
mentioned Our Parliament only for those
topics. Study either of them stress
should be on understanding the concepts,
not going very deep into them. You didnt
answer yesterdays questions!
Kirthi
Thank you sir. I have a doubt regarding
questions I can write some meaningful
answers only if I read or have a prior
knowledge about it Sir can I attempt
them after a nice satisfying study on the
topic that day or can I attempt with only
half knowledge on each topic? I prefer the
previous one but dont know if others are
directly attempting questions sir :-/
INSIGHTS
I understand your dilemma. You can read

questions related stuff for 1-2 hours, jot
down quick points, form your own opinion
and write answers in one go (you can
dedicate one hour for this). So, 3 hours
for two topics from the syllabus (I will
frame questions solely from the syllabus)
is not a bad idea.
By doing this, from rough calculation, you
will be covering around 700 topics by
December! I dont think whole syllabus
has these many topics
I dont think all are attempting directly
here. It doesnt matter though. What
matters is whether you have covered the
topic or not in your preparation. If you
are familiar with a topic, you can attempt
the question in exam confidently.
Kirthi
Yes sir, your questions were excellent. Its
a topic in itself like UNSC reforms which
requires some study, I lost confidence
when I saw others Answers but as you
said I should finish the topic and attempt.
It definitely helps. Thanks a lot for your
effort

sir,thanks for ur great work. u r a light in

cant keep touch with delhi market

touching ur web.but i hav some different
questions-
1) i was on bed since june due to a
surgery so could not touched a page of
book in june+july.as i cleared prelims n
also feeling a bit of better & hd started
GS1 history+ my optiona now.
but whenevr i saw new syllabus,a
question comes in mind can i do all this in
remaining 3 months while many are
preparing since june/july?? are these
remaing days are-more or sufficient or
very less?? n whatever condition is, what
strategy should i follow 4 preparation
because i dont want to give up or waste
time at any cost.
ur comments will b highly valuable for
me. waiting for ur reply.thank you.
INSIGHTS
Atharv,
Thanks for the compliment.
I hope you are in good health now.
Health is very important in this exam
keep it in good shape.
There is still 100 days to go for Mains. So
you have around 20 days for each paper.
You can still prepare well for the mains.
Start reading without thinking about how
much time you are left with.
Stick to very few books for each paper.

Read them thoroughly.
Never think about others they might
have read more than you, but what
matters is how good they can perform in
the crucial 3 hours in the exam hall. You
focus on this. Practice writing every day.
Start answering 6-10 questions.
Instead of reading books from end to
end, take up questions, divide them topic-
wise and start solving them. When you
dont know the answer, refer a book and
answer it. It stays in your mind even after
exam. Read few things completely. I
assure you, 100 days is still a lot of time.
Plan well and execute it.
If you badly want IAS, then go for it no
matter how less time you have. But not at
the cost of health. Maintain it well.
You have a good name. First time I have
ever come across this name.
atharv krishna

i hv one suggestion (which is also our

places where the hindu hard copy r not
available so we r fully depend on
websites. if u can seperate those news &
editorials according to syllabus topics &
sub-topics. you already had done this at
many places in GS mains strategy.
example- editorial Debate and pass the
Food Bil lt can be used in GS paper 2 & 3
under topics
then it wl b useful for many to make their
notes on each topic & will make
everyones burden less.

First I would like to thank a lot for your
wonderful & Sincere effort.Your
Suggested Strategy is very helpful.I am
preparing for cse 2014.If you can please
clarify my few doubts.1)I have finished
Laxmikant in entirety.is it still required to
read our parliament by subhash
kashyap?coz lamikant has almost
covered every chapter given in kashyap!!
2)in eco i am done with ncert as
suugested by u & read once eco booklet
provided by vajiram & ravi.now am
confused whether to read Ramesh singh o
not or whether i shld focus to consolidate
the dyanamic part of eco as suggested by
u??
INSIGHTS
Sankalp,
Thanks.
1) If you are comfortable with Laxmikant
and have understood all the areas, then
dont read Kashyaps book. I suggested it
as it it is exclusively for Parliament and is
written by a person who worked there

most of his career.
2) I think you should read Ramesh SIngh
as you have so much time with you. It is
a good book and not a bulk one too.
3) After reading above books, focus more
on dynamic part also and consolidate all
important areas. Make notes if possible.
4) Economic Survey is usefu, it depends
on the persons in charge of writing it
though (Last year kaushik Basu had a
different approach, and this year
Raghuram Rajan was the boss) . Buy the
latest one next year.
SANKALP

I was going through the bilateral relations
of India on MEA website and I frequently
came across the term tariff lines. While
there is no easily understandable
definition of it on the internet, I found the
following definition on one of the links:
The tariff line is the product code used at
the national level, beyond the 6 digits of
the Harmonized System. It is different
from one country to another.
And from the above definition I cant
understand the meaning of tariff lines in
one of the sentences on India-Brazil
bilateral relations which is New tariff
lines have been proposed under the
India-Mercosur PTA.
Could you please explain the meaning in
layman terms?
INSIGHTS
Tariff Line is basically a Product (such as
Tea, Rice, Wool etc) assigned with a well
defined Code for the purpose of assigning
it a Tariff value.
Tariff Lines are listed under Tariff
Schedule. Every country maintains this
schedule.
Basically, as you know, tariff is usually an
import duty on products to be traded.
When you want to enhance trade with a
country, you increase Tariff lines with that
country i.e, opening your economy for
more imports. Sometimes, you do so with
Tariff Preference or Tariff Concession i.e,
lowering tariffs to near Zero level to help

boost partner countrys exports. Which
India has done in the case of Bangladesh
and Sri Lanka.
In the case of India -Pakistan trade
relations we come across Sensitive List.
In this case we read that Pakistan has
been urged to reduce Tariff Lines in the
Sensitive List.
Example, Each Member State retains a
Sensitive Lists which is not offered for
confessional treatment. Presently,
Pakistan has placed 1169 tariff lines in its
Sensitive List Reduction of 233 tariff
lines which is an obligation for Pakistan
under SAFTA will reduce Pakistans
Sensitive List from 1169 to 936 tariff
lines.
Each Tariff Line is assigned a code based
on a criteria which we dont require to
know. If you want to know this, visit here:
http://www.wto.org/english/tratop_e/tariffs_e/tao_help_e.htm
(you have to scroll down there to see a
table explaining how codes are assigned).
Hope this helped.

INSIGHTS
1) The difference between Governance in
India and Public Institutions is that
the latter is written by an international
acclaimed thinker and it will help you in
getting a critical perspective on many
issues. Both are good, but Laxmikant is
more of facts than analysis. In Mains, you
need analytic skills.
2) For comparison part you can get
Vajiram notes I think in case you cant
buy the book I have suggested (S Chand
publication) D D Basu is not sufficient for
this topic. I will try to get previous year
questions on this topic from somewhere
and update again this article.
3) I will go through ARC and suggest you
chapters.

For Mains, you shoulf focus on current

If you have not followed current events
till now, Wizard / Vajiram release a

study them selectively keeping in mind
the topics of the syllabus.
Dont worry too much about current
events for new pattern. As syllabus is
detailed, covering all those topics is
sufficient. Few topics like food security,
PDS, security issues, developments in
S&T, require current orientation, focus on
such topics in current events.

for updation of amendments.You can
study 20th edition its as good as new
one.
R Dinesh Babu
hats off for excellency in directing the
most difficult task of preparation in civils
examination!!! thanking u sir!!!
waseem khan
SIR,
do you think that by giving a detailed
syllabus for general studies (mains) upsc
has reduced the importance of current
affairs to a large extent (at the mains
stage)
INSIGHTS
No, actually the importance has
increased. You have to read current
events in relation to the topics of Mains
syllabus. Earlier importance was given to
facts, not it is on analysis. So newspapers
help you in this. Competitive magazine
which cover facts wont help on the other
hand.
akhileshksingh
@insight Which competitive magazines do
you suggest to follow.
Harsh Katara
Sir,
In topic 2, why we should read
Laxmikants Chapter-30(High Court)?
In topic 1, From where we can read
amendments & significant provisions of
the constitution?
Harsh Katara
Sir ,
I request you to revert on the above
query as we are quite dependent on your
suggestion.
INSIGHTS
Oh ok! I have given from 3ed edition. Its
Panchayat Raj (Chapter 30)
And for amendments to have glimpse,
you can read those given at the end of
the India Year Book (Publication Division)
or D D Basu.
For details you can visit:
http://www.prsindia.org/billtrack/constitutional-
amendments/
akhilesh
I have followed indian public
administration by rajni Goyal (along-with
you booklist) and It is a good book to be
followed selectively along-with your
prescription . why dont you see yourself
and if its that good include it in the
routine. itll surely help aspirants.
thanks for such a great effort, you people
have ruined the monopoly of coaching
centres.
INSIGHTS
Thanks Akhilesh. We would include it. As
you have gone through it, please let us
know which topics are most helpful from
the book. We will update the article.
Santosh
I need guidance
INSIGHTS
May we know for what??
Nisha
sir first of all thank u so much for such a
wonderful help. i want to ask is this imp
to read Challenge And Strategy :
Rethinking Indias Foreign Policy Rajiv
Sikri ? is conventional part being asked in
mains for international relation or do we

have to focus only on contemporary part.
or do we read ignou book for international
part instead of that?
INSIGHTS
Thanks Nisha. Yes you need to read this
book. Or any other good book on foreign
policy. These books written by diplomats
use a certain language specific to
diplomacy and international relations. It
helps you grasp fundamentals better and
then enrich your knowledge which would
later reflect in your answers.
It is a good book. Go for it. You wont
regret reading it.
Contemporary part is most important and
to understand it you need to know some
basics. This book by Sikri would help you
in this.
Nisha
Thanks for clearing doubt..:)
tejaswi
Really thanks for your selfless efforts.
It will do a lot of good to IAS aspirants.

Three Cheers to Insights for these
valuable guidance. It is a very difficult and
a humongous task to read and study
selectively from such vast array of books

removed that burden and lighten my load
by 20%,,. Now is the time to tackle the
remaining 80%!!!

I make not simultaneously with reading
the book or after completion of
books.Simply I want to know the way of
making notes.I am preparing for
2015.plzz guide me Sir..Regards..
Siva Kumar
dear anil.,
i understand ur concerns what any other
working aspirants experience this kind of
dilemma. regards ur question about hindu
tabloid, epaper material compare with
hardcopy paper theres no diffenrence only
u need to aware whats is imporatant n
not that i ll list out as per my knowledge:
1. every hindu epaper have editiors
column, link list link, that ll always be ur
foremost priority to reading , analysing ,
highlights some important keywords n
compare with given mains syllabus that
presence in article , then to make small
anecdote of it or using secure mains
column , either in ur system folder or
using cloud computing software.
2. will be immediate international page, it
may have lots of international issues,
institutions, indian diaspora, personalities
, all will be given priority .
3. science n tech and first page will be
utmost importance regarding reading n
making notes of hindu along with any one
economic tabloid paper , either business
standards or economic times or business

line. normally we prefer business
standards , because it cover all important
topics comes under both gs 2, gs 3, even
some ethics paper with much more
analytical in presentation format.
then come again ur std materials u asked
here. its always better to make small hint
notes or anecdotes of every chapter,
topics, issues while in reading
times.making mind mapping tehniques is
even better , that u can easily
downloaded it from google. finally most
important thing while in preparation is
always goes for analytical prepapration n
write more n more makes u betterment of
ur chances to clear in very attempt,
buddy!!!!!!!!!!!!!
