Thank YOU

the best book for you will be of r.s aggrwal and avijit sarkar......... the mai thing you have to do is eco,stat,and maths graduation from a good university..... so that you can apply for wbcs

Refference Books for WBCS

For History - NCERT + Book of Kiron Chowdhury.

Geography - NCERT + Any reference book of secondary standard + a good atlas like Orient Longman /Oxford.

Polity - NCERT + book of Sen, Sen & Mukherjee / Jojo Mathews's Indian constitution and polity.

Science – NCERT class 6th to class 12th is more than enough.

Economy - NCERT class 11th and 12th + book of Sen, Sen & Mukherjee + Read and make notes of newspaper about current economy.

Current Affairs - one has to be thorough with newspaper readings of at least one year back from the date of exam.General Knowledge – India year book + Manorama year book.

For Mental Ability - R.s.Agarwal.

English- P K De Sarkar / Wren and Martin is more than enough.

hii well to do with

Refference Books for WBCS ( Preliminiary):

The questions asked in the General Studies paper are of 10+2 level . Therefore emphasis has to be on conceptual clarity. Any concept has to be understood with its origin, merits and de-merits, then it needs to be analysed with other relevant topics and lastly it has to be correlated with the events that have taken place during the year. If one wants to have command over General studies , then he has to prepare 7 major area i.e. - History , Geography, Polity, Science, Economy, Current AffairsGeneral Knowledge. For all the above topics, best way to start is from Basics i.e. NCERT Books of Class 6th to Class 12th.
For History - NCERT + Book of Kiron Chowdhury.

Geography - NCERT + Any reference book of secondary standard + a good atlas like Orient Longman /Oxford.

Polity - NCERT + book of Sen, Sen & Mukherjee / Jojo Mathews's Indian constitution and polity.

Science – NCERT class 6th to class 12th is more than enough.

Economy - NCERT class 11th and 12th + book of Sen, Sen & Mukherjee + Read and make notes of newspaper about current economy.

Current Affairs - one has to be thorough with newspaper readings of at least one year back from the date of exam.General Knowledge - India year book + Manorama year book.


Again remember read thoroughly and underline the relevant portion for further revise or make short notes on each topic of general studies so that the entire syllabus can be revised a day before the exam. The most important technique is doing regular revision. This helps in retaining the maximum information. A separate time slot should be given to doing not only regular but multiple revisions like daily, weekly, monthly etc. Many candidates make a mistake of overloading themselves with lots of information and end up remembering nothing. One should be able to differentiate between relevant and irrelevant information. Since the WBCS (Preliminary) Examination is an elimination round the candidate should also learn to focus only on the information needed and filter out the rest.

For Mental Ability - R.s.Agarwal.
English- P K De Sarkar / Wren and Martin is more than enough.

If one is thorough with the above topics from the above materials, then he/she will definitely crack this exam easily.

Dear friend,
If you are interested in WBCS examination
Then please go through these details below :

The first thing a candidate needs to bear in mind is that the examination is designed
to evaluate certain qualities like a sharp memory and basic retention power.
Considering the general nature of the examination the tactics must be to focus
on greater rather than intensive coverage. One is expected to know history,
science, polity, geography, economy and other such disciplines, all at the same time.
When you are preparing, we advise you to read texts once and all important points
recorded separately so that you need not study voluminous texts again.
Start preparing for the exam at least a year in advance and start appear
for the Prelims only when strong grip over the Mains' subject matter.

Answering Strategy

As the questions in the Preliminary examination are objective in nature and
there is no negative marking in the exam, it is suggested not to leave any
questions unanswered and intelligent guesswork may be used to answer questions
when you don’t know the precise answer. Move on from question to question and
attempt the difficult ones at the end.

Reference Books

The questions asked in the General Studies paper are of 10+2 level.
Therefore emphasis has to be on conceptual clarity. If you want to have
command over General Studies, then you have to prepare 7 major areas i.e. -

History ,
Geography,
Polity,
Science,
Economy,
Current Affairs,
General Knowledge.

For all the above topics, best way to start is from basics i.e. NCERT Books of Class 6th to Class 12th.

All the best.........
