NCERT notes PDF – The UPSC paper is becoming complex each year and there is a growing myth that the syllabus incorporates ‘everything under the sun’. We have seen students slogging year after year and making there preparation more complex and harder. There is a deluge of material available online that aspirants continue to download and keep it as repository, with a belief that they will go through it someday. Alas ! that day does not arrive. We have also noticed that aspirants have tendency to ignore basic books like NCERT for UPSC and jump directly to mainstream books. (GC Leong, Laxmikanth etc.).
The KISS principle — Keep It Simple Stupid

- Making concise notes.
- Taking tests and answer writing to check your conceptual clarity.
- Revise, revise and revise.
(PS: You need supplementary material for cracking UPSC)
