Re: Best books to prepare for IAS exam?

the best books that cover the whole syllabus of IAS exam[ are
# (Book List) Books On Mechanical Engineering For IAS Exam (Optional Subject References)

# (Book List) Books On Geology For IAS Exam (Optional Subject References)

# (Book List) Books On Electrical Engineering For IAS Exam (Optional Subject References)

If you’re new to Public Administration I highly recommend you first go through SP Naidu’s Public Administration. This book introduces the basic concepts and theories in a very simple and engaging manner. Many IAS aspirants directly jump to Mohit Bhattacharya’s New Horizons in Public Administration with the result they end up giving up the subject altogether or get the impression that Pub Ad is not their cup of tea.

Poli Naidu on other hand was written keeping in mind the aptitude of a first year undergraduate student and is highly recommended by coaching institutes like Synergy as well.
