Friend in India the top level sarvice is "Civil Service" ,and there is no any suggession for prepareing either prili or main.

In my opinion it will better if you will take coaching from any recognise institituit ,whose delever you many of the best module papers.

The "Civil Service" coaching is best in Hydrabad and Channi And total cost of study metarials and liveing is- 1,20,000 to 1,50,000 per annual.

Otherwise you may take preparation from any best teacher for all subjects , differently.But in this there is a confusition, which is not at professional coaching centers.

Best of luck.

YOU SHOULD REFER TO THE NCERT BOOKS OF 11th AND 12th
VERBAL AND NON-VERBAL REASONING BY R.S.AGGARWAL IS ALSO A GOOD BOOK

FOR G.K AND CURRENT AFFAIRS YOU SHOULD READ THE HINDU AND COMPETITION SUCCESS REVIEW

its best to learn the tricks of the trade that may help you survive in this competitive world.. You have two options.. either look for some offline coaching or go online. I personally prefer online course 'coz a) you get the best deal i.e. the teacher at your doorstep b) saves your precious time c) proves economical d) interactive session with 1-1 personal connection
