Booklist for UPSC CSE/ IAS Preparation 2018 by UPSC Topper AIR 4 Artika Shukla Video Lecture | UPSC Preparation Strategy and Tips by Toppers

hello everybody I'm article Shukla I got
rank for in you BSC this year a little
introduction about me I am 25 years old
I am a doctor by profession and you can
follow me on this address on an Academy
coming to my strategy in general studies
we start with the books and the
resources that I followed and what
worked what did not work or you Jubilate
I will try to tell you that starting
with the first topic history ancient
history medieval and history modern
ancient and medieval uh what I did was I
followed in Seattle but Yemen watches in
him prepare kathal it is something that
I did not like though yeah not did not
prepare I did not prepare it very
thoroughly and question bees are the nay
I see modern history of course you must
repair a I did Bipin Chandra India's
struggle for independence plus spectrum
specifically for preliminary modern
India again relevant both for prelims
and wins coming to culture I followed
five different materials for culture
cuqui Mary pass I did not have anyone
guiding me that time so I did Nathan
Singhania an Academy videos very nice
NIOS material vision eyes material as
well as in CRT on art but Jo exam my
question I avoid masochism is sabaneta
so I would just say that you should pick
and choose the material for culture Q
key it is not a very high yielding thing
so any one thing or two you know two
sources you can follow I would suggest
unyk add me anything Sun Conure more
than enough polity Theory incurrent
Lakshmi can't for theory and for current
of course a daily newspaper reading
supplemented by solving test papers of
any one or two decent test series I did
vision and insights they are more than
enough for you know making you a drill
Sarah Joe be Current Affair Baraga you
will get to know it from here economy I
did she roms booklet ncert of economy
for learning some basic topics and
Economic Survey very important Equinox
Economic Survey you must read any come
to science theory incurrent something I
left majolica
I knew the basics if you don't know the
basics go for in CRT is eight say 10
p.m.
environment theory incurrent I did
Shankara is very important book along
with folder complete desk paper on
environment and that was enough you just
have to learn the few lists and stuff so
here this book is more than enough for
it coming to geography physical I did
class 11th in CRT that blue book along
with videos on Brunel okay so this is
all that I did for physical geography
questions via me may say out there so
that is more than enough
Indian geography eleventh and twelfth I
think there is this socio and economic
geography there is a physical geography
of India to veggetti with earth in
Catawba and that you can do for Indian
geography one geography I I did not
prepare this thing really well so what I
did was in my sake I just saw some
videos on this side of Moon on and I
prepared some maps based on current
affairs Middle East
Taurus Auto Europe that was all that I
did if you want you can go for any
coaching material or something else that
you find relevant mirror his obsolete
tha was more than enough other national
international current affairs ice all
test papers as I said before I read the
Hindu daily and if there was something
that I did not understand I skirted
through Jake G K today or PRS or any
other relevant you know I used to Google
anything that I did not understand in
the newspaper and that is more than
enough for prelims preparation schemes
policy same is simple coming to prelim
CSAT
I did not prepare it specifically many
last charts all K paper scale ups ek
that was more than enough now that CSAT
is qualifying this is all that you
should do to in my opinion a get up Coco
a specific problem here you can of
course you know read up more on that but
otherwise this is enough for getting
that qualifying marks my accuracy was I
got sixty a correct from Italy in GS and
77 in aptitude coming to means essay
preparation current affairs around the
ear I followed I did not prepare essay
specifically I just read a few quotes
egg in Pelle exam K and that is more
than enough you know if you want if you
think you are weak in writing then you
should practice essays of course coming
to general studies means paper one
culture again
I followed five different
things finally in the exam question came
from none of them so please pick and
choose our octopus timer you can follow
any two things any one thing even
otherwise this is not a very high
yielding topic Indian history again
weapon chandra world history I did
vision material in NCR teased you can do
either one of them even one of them is
sufficient post-independence India I had
done both these books but they are not
required they are more like novels so
what I would suggest is ki aapke civic
poaching notes say it should as a topic
curly ups he has not been asking
questions about it so don't waste time
on it
Indian society role of women
globalization communalism regionalism
and secularism these are very very
dynamic topics so I would say keep going
targeted material yearbook panic is a
ruin here follow Hindu follow the
newspaper that you are reading vision
current material is very good for
following Beast topics you can go for
PRS you can go for GK today and Academy
anything that you follow online dynamic
content along with inside secure
articles are also very relevant in these
things along with it yo Gina can cover
this topic very well
poeta grappling Korea that is more than
enough for this in my opinion a resource
distribution I did vision and Vizier arm
comity really because I could not find
this in any standard textbook but a
Mooji Latha hockey that is not required
or coffee basic questions are theme
which can be covered by 10th and 11th in
C artists earthquake tsunami I did er C
for disaster covered in there along with
vision material is pretty good for this
thing otherwise er C is more than enough
this topic I left paper to Indian
Constitution comparing Constitution
Parliament executive ministries
everything what you should do is Lakshmi
Qarth you can refer for basics right and
the rest of it is all dynamics so I
would say read the newspaper daily make
your own notes you can complement it
with some current affair I did it with
vision current affairs which was very
good along with inside secured daily
articles they post a lot of articles you
can go there and read them vision static
material is also available for all these
topics if
want some basic knowledge about them
agar aapke paas already in knowledge
hand then you can skip this along with a
very dynamic study approach is required
you can go to PRS of 9a bills or at
Skybar MA you can read on annual reports
documents on various ministry websites
same holds for all of this seems a
dynamic study newspaper secure some
current affair material static material
if you want
along with annual reports and PR site
same goes for this too in a in foreign
policy and foreign affairs I would just
add one thing that you can skip it all
together or you can just keep reading
the newspaper for it and in November or
October you can go and get a compilation
and that is more than enough questions
come mostly from that only a compilation
from any you know decent coaching
Institute committee really you can go
and buy it paper three paper 3 are the
first four topics in an economy
mobilization resource this is vast this
includes everything that is happening in
the country economic survey the best
booklet the best material to prepare it
along with key features of budget daily
newspaper reading of course Jo daily
economy mejor I along with if you want
inside secure articles for the
agriculture related topics which is e
technology and everything PDS buffer
technology mission vision static
material is very good if coupled with
daily newspaper reading along with you
can refer to your Gina for relevant
articles some specific ministry for
processing ministry if it is coming up
with something new you can go there
along with any related chapter that you
find an economic survey please go there
land reforms you can follow Bipin
Chandra three chapters of it
infrastructure again economic survey
related disaster management AR C is more
than enough again most of it is dynamic
science tech Indian achievements I did
not read specifically it gets covered in
repairing current affairs internal
security you can go for its the article
along with any daily the daily news
along with any coaching material for
reference I follow GS core for reference
that was very good money-laundering
cyber security border management
organized crime very dynamic topics you
can read any
one static material vision material
insights material kahiapo search Kirkuk
static material parlay along with that
current events like s IT recommendations
newspaper reading steps taken some facts
anything like that so allow a lot of
dynamic study required along with GS
course material I referred that for
internal security thought of basic skill
otherwise it's all newspaper ethics very
frankly I did not spend more than a week
on ethics what I did was I bought two
three test papers of vision along with
model answers read them try to
understand them and framed answers that
was all that I did but if you cannot
understand the terms mentioned in the
syllabus you can read the book on ethics
by lexicon or Saburo and you just need
to have a balanced viewpoint illustrate
your answers with examples and finish
the paper on time go and bare your heart
out on the sheets you will get very good
marks thank you this is my match sheet
thank
