Sir thanks a lot for providing informtion abt csat.

can i prepare for ias exam without taking any coaching

hi!

The examination structure of CSAT comprises of one paper consisting of questions from general studies and the other paper focusing on the aptitude skills of the students. So, you must focus on gk, reasoning & quantitative aptitude.

You should make the habit of reading some good newspaper daily like the hindu or times of india. It will keep you updated about latest events. You can also refer these magazines for GK:
pratiyogita darpan
the year book
yojna

Since the aptitude paper is included for the 1st time, there is no information available about it. Just try to solve model aptitude paper.

Dear student,

To prepare for CSAT exam the book of R.S. AGARWAL is best preffered .

for more details about the books for CSAT you may visit
www.surabooks.com

And for general awareness Upkar publication's would be best.

ALL THE BEST!!!!!!!!!!
