Hello,
Preparationfor general studies is composed of two parts:
Conventional topics.
General knowledge and current affairs.
Before I go into the books, some general points on preparation and approach:
Make notes as you read. Its impossible to come back to the text books during revision. Notes should be so comprehensive that once you are done, you would not have to take the text-book again.The basic approach should be STUDY-REVISE-IMPROVISE.Dont use guides, standardpreparatorymaterial or NCERT text books.Keep on referring to previous years papers to check if you have missed any topic.Prepare for the subjective papers ( i.e mains). Note down extra facts for the prelims as you make descriptive notes. Prelims is just a necessary evil.
I hope this clear you out.
Cheers !!

Good base in general studies is very important to clear UPSC exam.
While your preparation you should make your important notes which will help you in revision later on. You should refer standard books. Refer previous year papers as well to get an idea.

Topics which you should focus on are listed below
Indian History
Geography

Government policies and programmes
General knowledge and current affairs
Good luck!!
