    AIR 1 – UPSC CSE 2020

    BOOKLIST AND READING REFERENCES


    APPROACH
    1. Limit the sources- Focus should be on covering the syllabus rather
    than covering books (1 Source per Topic)

    2. CSE(UPSC) journey is a test match cricket- it is not about studying


    15/16 hours for a week or month but about 8 hours for 2/3 years-
    with consistency one can beat anyone

    3. Revision is the key- the more the better
