Books for [General Studies] IAS-2010


Guys after a healthy research on “What to read and What not to read” for CSE General Studies preparation. I came up with a short and concise list of Books, which i think every aspirant must read before facing this prestigious exam.
Friends this is a list  based upon only my own experience with CSE. I believe in less and quality reading rather than reading everything  which comes in front of ur eyes [later method is considered as hard and fast rule in civil services preparation] but i know it is not my cup of tea. So Plz don’t take it as a benchmark. Feel Free to add any title from ur pocket which you think a civil services aspirant should to go through for sure success in IAS-2010

History -
* History books of Classes XI and XII – NCERT
