Top 5 must-read books to crack UPSC civil services exam

UPSC civil services exam is one of the toughest exams in India. It requires continuous efforts and dedication with a passion to serve the nation as an administrative officer. but only hard work great passion can not be sufficient to become a Civil Servant we need good guidance with great study materials which becomes your great companion throughout your journey during your preparation time. here is the list of  5 must-read books that every civil aspirant should read:

1. The first book that flashed in mind is Indian Polity By M. Laxmikanth.

                                                        

 This book is arguably the most popular book among UPSC aspirants and recommended this book for preparation. This is the book that is particularly designed according to UPSC requirements and it covers all the static part of exams syllabus. 

2. Next book in the queue is  A brief  History of Modern India by Rajiv Ahir 

                                  

                                                           

This is an excellent book for modern history preparation as it compresses  India's modern history without sacrificing  I need for an elaborate understanding of events. but for better understanding, I personally request that please read it after thoroughly reading of old NCERT of Class 12th.

3. For geography, I would like to recommend certificate physical and human Geography by G.C Leong

take away Majid Husain over other option simple language and very precious information of this book makes it an ideal choice for aspirants.

4. For the Economy, I would like to recommend Indian economy by Ramesh Singh.   

there are two Ideal book in the market for UPSC  first is written by Ramesh Singh and the other one by Sanjiv Verma if you have a background of Economics or you are familiar with its basics then you can proceed with Ramesh Singh otherwise Sanjiv Verma’s would suit you the best.

5.  fifth and the last one was no brainer this is ethics integrity and aptitude by  G. Subba Rao.

To be very honest this is not a very good book and personal biases prevalent in the book make you cringe sometimes, but sadly this is the only suitable option for preparing for GS paper IV in the market as of now.
