The syllabus to prepare for the UPSC?
The syllabus to prepare for the UPSC CSE...!
I am uploading here the plan for Prelims 2016. The idea is to study each of the mentioned books in the list 5-6 times(atleast) before August 2016. It comprises of 25 books and if one remembers these 25 books by heart, imprinting all the information easily into their head, one could easily crack prelims+Mains based on this. The idea here is to cover the traditional part rigorously. 15 out of 25 books are NCERT which are easier to read, while the rest are 1 extra source book apart from NCERT to keep on track with the topic. The idea here is smart revision not magnitude of revision. Hence, we need to read thorougly through first reading. And then read through the underlined part/side notes/notes in the next few. Only the Geography books of NCERT are required to be memorised by heart while the rest, one should have a thorough understanding and could easily recollect a piece of information as and when required.
Follow these books only and listen to nobody else and dont be influenced by what someone else is reading. We need to have faith in one set of books and bring up our expertise with respect to one book only instead of sticking to two or more. Prelims is mostly basics, so we need to build up the basics through these and later on in mains, focus at the same at deeper levels to improvise on the subjects.
The key here is to follow only 11, 12 NCERT as the rest is a waste of time and to build up our fundamental doubts using the outside books. These books are guide books and are easy to understand. The books are available for free download are the cheapest of all.
First sitting should take 2 months. Thereafter each revision should take a month. So the list of books could be completed in 6 months(1 book a day) keeping rest for revision through other mediums. 6-8 hours of study would suffice. NCERTs could be completed within a day while the only big volume books are Laxmikanth & Ramesh Singh. One can avoid Ramesh Singh by going through Mrunal videos but it is still advised to follow this. Roman Saini's videos are 20-30 minutes each while Ramesh Singh's around 45 minutes. So instead of watching it, one can use the youtube mp3 converter to convert these videos into audio files and listen to them as podcast while travelling/sleeping.
Follow the routine and prelims is guaranteed. If one gives 6 hours a day*6 months
P.S: Missed out on Yojana articles & Hindu/Indian Express Editorials(A religious must)...For International Relation related world organisations India being part of, follow India 2016
For India 2016, only important parts are Economic Survey, first 5-6 Chapters, names of schemes, and an overlook on the working of key ministries like Agriculture, Watershed, Education etc.
Also, planning to launch a comprehensive new material outlook, whereby would be posting more on day to day articles from Hindu & Indian Express so that one doesnt need to waste time on reading everything from every where in newspapers(this would be similar to the article synopsis I have been posting, but in a more comprehensive manner). Also, would be included the weekly questionnaire of current affairs from mains point of view and a bi-weekly Prelims oriented MCQ Questionaire.
