India: Basic Lesson

A Study of India is highly important for Preliminary as well as GS I, GS II and GS III.

In Wikipedia Books, Aman Agarwal has compiled a book on India very intelligently. The contents will speak for itself. Many teachers suggest the India Year Book as a guiding basis for preparing notes on India. In case of Wikipedia, there are many articles which contain many further links that it becomes unmanagable study stretagy. However, Aman Agarwal provides a highly imaginative, thoughtful and effective collection of articles. He has thoughtfully developed the chapters which are as follows:

He has given the name to the book as India: An Overview.
The chapters are:
Main Article: India. (Everyone should know it.)

Free Books on Science: Basic

In brief, Check the links below. They are compiled articles from Wikipedia. They can be useful for preparation for Civil Services Prelims Paper I.

There are 100 questions in Civil Services Preliminary Examination paper I (General Awareness). They are in MCQ format. The Union Public Service Commission suggests that they want a generally aware educated person.

There are different plannings methods to clear that stage of life. One of the version is that if you practice a bank of 100000 mcqs then you will be able to manage the selection for the mains examination. This is not rational view and result of fallacy of statistical distortion.

Another way of preparing for those 100 questions is to acquire good understanding of the fundamentals of basics of different field of knowledge. In short, one should have good understanding of different subjects upto the level of tenth class.

In order to achieve the above task, the highly recommended books are NCERT books. The Apps are available. The online downloading is available. However, at least, I am not able to download the books as I desired.

However, I present before you a content which can fulfil the requirement of the desired task.

These are Wikipedia books. They are compiled by such editors who had inserted the term ICSE and also Class number which is from 6 to 12 in the permanent links of the books. From there, I assume and conclude, that they are compilation meant for the student of Class vi to Class xii.

Secondly, in case of many books which are basically compilation, they are very elaborate. One does not need that much information and understanding which some of the articles include. I do not feel shame in accepting that in case of some articles even I was not enough qualified to comprehend. However, such articles definitely provide you with the such topics which are expected to know if you are taking civil services examination.

Thirdly, there are some technichal issues with Wikipedia book compilation. The book which conatins such pages wherein there are tabular charts, they are not compiled and failed to compile for download. However, a solution is that while reaching the link, you will find a set of topics which are definitely meant for you. One can check each page at one place and makes ones own notes.

Here is a list:

Geography: Basic and India

The Questions on Geography form an important part of the Preliminary Examination on General Awareness. As per the different estimates there are 27 to 30 questions out 100 on Geography. Well, that is an overstatement. We can subdivide them into further sets. There are questions on Geo-Economic, Geo-physical, Geo-political and Geo-social. There are questions which require inter disciplinary study. No doubt, a good understanding of Geography helps to pick the right choice.

In short, Geography is considered an important aspect of study for preparation of Preliminary examination.

The NCERT books are suggested. It seems that is the common advice. Those, who has nothing to do with career making guidance, even they emphasise the study of Geography.

Kindly find two links on the content matter about geography. They are Wikipedia Books. There is nothing special about them. There is good information on Wikipedia also which can provide you with the ready material for preparation. One of the book is developed by the blogger. The second book is developed by some other person. The pages which he has included in the book justify the need of the contents which an aspirant require for preparation.
