[Study-plan] Topicwise ‘Plausible’ booklist and study-plan for CSAT 2012 General studies Paper 1 Hindi & English Medium

update November-09-2012

friends, following article is old. I’ve released a new version (total five article series) with more tips, in light of CSAT 2012. So Please visit following link
http://mrunal.org/2012/11/strategy-upsc-civil-service-exam-ias-ips-csat-general-studies-part1.html

Following is an old article-don’t read

As I keep saying GS prep. is like Kung-fu, everyone has to develop his own style but given the lot of email queries here it goes:
This study plan is designed on two key-points

Plausible in the given time limit
Requires Minimum Expenditure

This plan is not exhaustive, this plan doesnot guarantee 100% success, this plan is only for those who’re totally confused about what to do and where to start.

General Studies (GS) Manual
Science and Technology (S&T)
Economy for GS
Polity for GS
History for GS
Geography for GS
Environment and Biodiversity (E&B)
Empowerment and Social Issues
Public Policy and Rights Issue
Mock Tests Practice
To sum up the plan
Download Links NCERT: Science, Geography, History etc.
Download Links NOS: Economy, Polity etc.
Other important articles/tips

General Studies (GS) Manual

GS Manual a very thick book containing almost every topic of General Studies (Geography History, Polity, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, etc.)
Many publication houses (TMH, Unique,Spectrum,Pearson) release their Manuals.
You should buy atleast one of them. Because after each topic, they provide hundreds of mock questions, you must solve them to gain confidence and command over the topic.
If you have not purchased a GS manual, I recommend you get TMH (TataMacgrawhill’s) Click me to get it from flipkart.com with attractive discount.Hindi version of this GS manual is also available on Flipkart. Click Me to get Hindi Version TMH Manual
Crux of this whole plan is : First read NCERT, then read GS Manual and at last solve the Mock-questions given at the end of GS Manual.

Science and Technology

NCERTs 7 to 10 (science): Can be downloaded for Free. For English medium scroll down to the bottom of this article you’ll get the download links
for Hindi Medium click me
For Arts and Commerce grads, the 11-12th science NCERT may appear very tiresome, so leave them.
GS Manual’s Science and Technology section (the explanations and principles of various things are important, “Why” this or that?) + the mock tests given in it. If you’ve purchased any Manual, well and good- just stick to it. But if you’re yet to purchase a GS manual, I suggest you get TataMacgrawhill’s GS Manual.
Not much point in mugging up inventors, radius of Saturn’s moons, chem.formulas, Latin names of various plant and animal kingdoms and families etc in the manual.
The Hindu’s S&T section (can be read online).
Liberal use of websites such as Howstuffworks and Kids’ Encyclopedia Britannica for time pass.
I regularly provide updates on Science & Tech related articles, You can access them on mrunal.org/snt

Economy

NCERT (10, 11, 12). If you can’t grasp formulas, leave them. Just try to understand the basics only. Download Links @Bottom.
Indian Economy by Ramesh Singh (TMH Publication) = best “student friendly” book on Economy topics.
and my own articles on Economy, they can be seen on: mrunal.org/economy
Any one GS Manual’s Economy section + the mock tests given in it.
Any one Magazine’s Economy section, to be upated with currents (Pratiyogita, CST, Wizard or Chronicle)
Regular reading of Economy section of newspaper (The Hindu or Indianexpress, whichever you can get.)
Consult wikipedia and google whenever you encounter any difficult terminology but donot try to do Ph.D on Economy. You just need to understand the basic concepts.
Not much point in doing entire ‘Economic Survey‘, because the magz issue will cover the important facts anyways.
Not much point in doing that ‘Economy’ special-book of Pratiyogita Darpan, because it’s mostly fact-bombing. That trend is over now. [That book used to sell like hot-cakes 2-3 years ago]
I donot recommend Mishra Puri or Dutt Sundaram. For they’re written from academic point of view, hence very boring and not much helpful for MCQs.

Polity

The Best book for Polity is M.Laxmikanth (Tata Macgrawhill publication). Nobody has or can explain polity in a lucid manner than he did. So just forget everything else and read his book thoroughly atleast 3 times.
It is also available in Hindi Medium, under the title “Bharat ki Rajya Vyavastha.”
But Instead of mugging down article numbers, try to understand the provisions.
Mock questions given in GS Manual.
Magazine issues for Polity specific Current affairs (Laws, Amendments etc)
Not much point in doing D.D. Basu’s book on Indian Constitution, it is good for mains but given the time-limit you’ve before prelims. better leave it for the time being.

If you’re Yet to purchase Laxmikanth, Do it from Flipkart.com, Get it at home within 3 business-days. with almost 40% discount!

History

NCERT 7 to 10 Social Science. Then NCERT Class 11,12 History.
GS Manual’s History Section + Mock tests.
(although it’d be a very daring move but) If you’re running out of time, you may skip Ancient and Medival History, because they’ll disappear in mains GS. And for prelims GS, they’re barely 4-5 marks and yet have big ‘hours-requirement’.
Do prepare History of Modern India (1857 and freedom struggle) as it is important topic in Mains GS too.
If you’ve time, you can use Bipin Chandra
and Spectrum’s Brief History of Modern India.
This Spectrum book is also available in Hindi, under the title “Adhunik Bharat kaa Itihas“

Geography

NCERT 7 to 10 (Social Science) then NCERT 11,12 (Geography).
GS Manual (instead of trying to mug up place-names, concentrate on clearing concepts and ‘why’ this or that). + Practice mock questions given in it.
In Newspapers and Magazines issues, in the National/ International current affairs: note down the place names and check their location on Atlas.

Environment and Biodiversity (E&B)

Download the NOS studymaterial. Click Me
Again NCERT 7 to 10 (Both Geography and Science): Can be downloaded for Free in English Medium OR Hindi Medium
GS Manual’s science portion
The Hindu S&T (can be read online).
Magz : current affairs related to Environment. (without getting into fact-bombing)
Wikipedia for anything that requires elaboration.

The level of difficulty shown in last years’ paper for E&B, ain’t no point in doing Ph.D.
So I don’t think it is necessary to buy any separate ‘special’ book.
You can download some Free study material for Biodiversity by Clicking ME

Empowerment

NCERT sociology books: Can be downloaded for Free in English Medium OR Hindi Medium
Magazine current affairs sections to know about various Social sector initiatives.
If you’ve time, go through India yearbook’s important chapters (click me to get the list of important chapters) But keep in mind, frequent revision is necessary otherwise easy to get trapped in 4TF (4 Statements True/False) type questions
(if you’ve time) Yojana, Kurukshetra etc. (but then again no need to get into ‘village/NGO case-studies’) just get the basics.

Again this study-plan is not exhaustive, it doesnot cover each and every topic.
Always include current-affairs from newspapers / magazine in all of them (except History)
Always keep the official notification handy and see the syllabus- topics given in it. (click Me to download the Official notification of UPSC for 2012′s exam)

Public Policy and Rights Issue

Please read my separate article on it. How to prepare Rights Issues ? Click Me

Mock Tests Practice

No amount of preparation is complete, unless you practice some mock questions. I’ve provided the free blank answersheets (click me to download). Print them, then take 15-20 photocopies of them and practice the mock questions given at the end of each topic in your General Studies Manual.

Current Affairs

You must read either The Hindu or Indian Express on daily basis and maintain a current affairs diary from it.

The Tips on newspaper reading, are given in a seperate article Click ME

To sum up the plan

No one can score 100% in GS. So have plausible targets :

I’ll cover polity so good that If they ask 8 Questions, I can tick atleast 5 correctly without hesitation.

I believe UPSC will continue the trend of asking from the ‘basic-concepts’ to crush the coaching factories of Delhi and to give level playing ground to the newcomers. So, You should have impeccable command over the basics.
Over-reliance on internet for GS preparation = mistake.
When they give you four statements and ask you to identify correct or incorrect ones, you can do it only if you’ve impeccable command over the basics, otherwise you’ll always feel 50-50.
That’s why I recommend you use NCERTs and GS Manual, because they deal with the basics. In the market, there are lot of books and magz ‘special issues’ dealing with each topic, but have the tendency of “fact/data-bombing” or unnecessary elaboration (Ph.D-izing) to make the things complicated.
From now on to 20th May: Buying new book, for any topic, is useless unless you’ve the time and energy to do revision atleast 3 times. So Better to read one book thrice instead of reading three new-books once.
UPSC= unpredictable PSC, Just because last year they didnot ask map-question in CSAT, doesn’t mean they won’t do the same this year. So always be prepared for unexpected surprises, never take things for granted.

Hi Mrunal,

You have written to skip Ancient and Medieval History because of its relevance but if i feel i have ample time to cover both these sections which books are advisable apart from NCERT ?
I started from my GS manual but found it more factual and uninteresting .
Any suggestion regarding books for these topics ?

Thanks.

Hi Mrunal,
I am a working professional.I wanted a word of advice from you on the postal test series for csat (paper 1 & 2)provided by a leading coaching class from delhi.Do they offer any advantage over the GS Manual questions practise which we can do by ourself ……since It is a matter of both time and money.

Dear sir,

This is Lalit Kumar singh Bhadauriya working as Software Engineer at new Delhi Since last two years.

me some financial condition and my family responsibility. my age is 24 present now and wave of dedication
and song of preparation of civil services is today now.

so please guide me this is the right time to start the preparation while doing a job and how much time to give for that and I will join weekend batch in any coaching center.

Reply to this comment

Most of these are absolute GK type questions. UPSC prelims related material would be too much bulky for this purpose, it’d like doing an overkill and shooting in a different direction.

For CMAT GK, I suggest you mugup 100 pages of “GK 2013″ written by Manohar Pandey (Arihant Publication) + read monthly updates on competitionmaster.com (+pratiyogita Darpan if you’ve time.)
Beyond that just invest time-energy in maths, english, reasoning.

Reply to this comment

It depends on what’s your career backup plan apart from UPSC?

UPSC + CAT/CMAT (MBA)

Analytical Reasoning by MK Pandey
How to prepare logical reasoning for CAT by by Arun Sharma for CAT (TMH)
Quantam CAT by Sarvesh Kumar Verma
How to Prepare for Verbal Ability and Reading Comprehension for the CAT by Arun Sharma for CAT (TMH)

UPSC + SSC, IBPS, LIC etc.

Analytical Reasoning by MK Pandey
Verbal and Non Verbal Reasoning by BS Sijwali OR R.S Agarwal
Fast-track to Objective arithmetic (Rajesh Verma)
Comprehension and Interpersonal communication by Arun Sharma for Paper 2 (TMH)

Only UPSC + Private sector job/business
Analytical Reasoning by MK Pandey
General Studies Paper 2 Manual of Tata Macgrawhill
————
Because of the nature of logical reasoning questions asked in CSAT-2012, MK Pandey is important, hence listed as common book in all backup plans.

I am currently studying for B.E. 6th sem .
Its almost january ending , can i start IAS coaching now ?

Mrunal

Reply to this comment

SPIPA takes entrance exam in July/August every year. other classes run batches round the year.

So Sir , should i wait for SPIPA’s entrance of this year ? or should i start coaching with other institute ?
If possible , please suggest me with other good coaching classes ?

breaking news

I additionally believe that mesothelioma is a unusual form of cancers that is commonly found in those previously familiar with asbestos. Cancerous tissue form inside the mesothelium, which is a safety lining that covers the vast majority of body’s areas. These cells ordinarily form inside the lining on the lungs, abdominal area, or the sac that really encircles one’s heart. Thanks for revealing your ideas.

Hi Mrunal. I am appearing in cse 2013. I had a reasonable command over NCERT’s, laxmikanth(polity), ramesh singh (economy), G.C.Leong and THM mannual. But I am apprehensive of GS paper as I haven’t kept any eye on news paper. I invested my time on optinals and traditional Gs; leaving the newspaper.
Can you commend any source to fill the gap that I can suffer because I Left Newspaper. And if this mistake is good enough to make my chances very thin. please reply.

YOU ARE AWE-INSPIRING.
