The General Studies mains paper will never be the same again. Till 2006 the GS paper followed a definite pattern: 90 marks history, 30 marks geography, 90 marks polity and so on. In fact it was so predictable that with even a decent amount of preparation candidates managed to score 310+ easily. But things have changed since 2006. Now the GS mains paper is dynamic, unpredictable and even confusing. To tackle this requires a fresh approach to your mains preparation and the books you read.

GS Mains Books for Indian History:

1.India’s Struggle for Independence by Bipin Chandra


2.Modern Indian History by B.L Grover

GS Mains Book for Indian Polity:

Our Constitution by Subhash Kashyap

Economy Books for IAS Mains:

Indian Economy by Dutta and Sundharam

Geography Books for GS Mains Paper:

Till recently reading just the NCERT text books of Class XI and XII was enough to cover the geography syllabus of GS paper.


Current Affairs Books for IAS Mains:

General Awareness & Current Affairs Digest by Laxmikanth


GS Mains Books for Science and Technology:

Science and Technology Manual by TMH
