  • history is a vast subject but when it comes to prelims and GS-1 for mains both we should be very choosy.
  • must read ncert and add one reference book(must).

Why NCERT are important?

Explanation:-

  • Being the most basic books and written in very simple language, lucid and neutral perspective makes NCERTS as the base for the entire preparation.
  • One will get most of their basic covered for the geography and history from these books.
  • Secondly, mains answer writing language should be similar to the writing style of these books which make them as the fundamental element while preparing for the Mains examination.

Now let us analyse from Prelims and Mains perspective:

  • Every year at least 35-40 prelims questions are directly asked from the NCERTS.
  • If you read one book for the prelims it also comes handy in the mains.
  • For Example, HISTORY NCERT’s are the most comprehensive books which must be read by every aspirant.
  • It helps in planned study otherwise, you may be lost in the vast ocean of data and coaching materials.
  • If you are planning to choose humanities optional and you are from the non-humanities background, then study of these books will help in choosing the right optional and further, it may help in your optional paper too.
