Well if you can crack it without any coaching classes then you need to maintain a good time table and set of good books.

You can prefer RS Aggarwal books for Aptitude,Reasoning and English.
For current affairs you must read Pratiyogta Darpan magazine.

Also you need to have NCERT books for the subjects that you will choose for the Mains.

Re: Best books to study for IAS exam while doing engineering?

well if you intend to do full fledged preparation

during your engineering days itself then first of all you

need to select your optional first of all,

Proper thinking must go into it, and you must select the

subjects in which you have the best command, and that interest you,

Apart from that you should start studying magazines and newspapers

LIST

Magazines........... CSR CHRONICLE PRATIYOGITA DARPAN etc.

Newpapers.......... TOI ,THE HINDU, Economics times etc.

for CSAT

Material from CL /TIME/IMS/ BRILLIANT TUTORIALS etc.

Hey friend

I really appreciate your decision to become an IAS officer but there is no hurry to start your preparation at this time only

Just you complete your Degree now and then you can

Meanwhile

you should do these things so that they will help you when you start your original preparation

->Current affairs is also a very important section you should get updated in all areas like
politics ,sports ,entertainment and what not everything

->follow all the news paper daily's get updated with all the issues do the deep research and make some points and maintain some note book

this about the strategy that a year student must follow

When you perfectly start your preparation for IAS then

then the preparation plan must be like this

each and every individual will have different methods and techniques to achieve their respective goals..

-> You should strongly determine towards your goal..

-> You should also be hard working and also a smart planner of the preparation.

-> you should make smart plans according to the time

This is all about your strategy while studying your b.tech and after completing your b.tech. mean while concentrate on points what I have mentioned earlier.
