What would be the grave mistake? The reply is “To exclude NCERTs.” Learn to cherish NCERTs if you want to enjoy UPSC prep.

The ideal starting point for any UPSC aspirant is NCERTs, the key to success. They serve as a basic juncture where your understanding of the fundamentals for solving MCQs and analytical skills for long answer writing unite.

Though everyone read NCERTs, 99% of them don’t even know what is the proper way to read them, utilize them, make notes, revise, etc.

On the other hand, only reading NCERTs alone isn’t the way to success; you’ll only succeed in the IAS test if you understand how to read NCERTs, which 4-5 we specifically need to study, and how to Make notes from them.
