hello aspirant....

hope you are doing great.

Yes, the NCERT books provide concise information in simple language that is easy to comprehend. Furthermore, they are necessary for both the UPSC Prelims and Mains exams.

A great structure cannot be built on a shaky foundation. NCERTs serve as the foundation for the UPSC Civil Service Exam. They should be read because...

They will assist you in developing a learning habit. The topics also align with UPSC's requirements. They are written in plain language and from a neutral standpoint. UPSC wants to level the playing field for everyone. These books are inexpensive and widely available, regardless of wealth or location (city or village).

Every year, NCERTs are asked at least 30-35 questions directly.

Above all, today's era is awash in vast amounts of data, content, and materials. The excesses will be filtered through NCERT books. They'll be efficient in terms of both time and content.

so, you have to read NCERT along with the other reference books and material provided by the coaching institute.
