Therefore, you cannot waste your precious time reading books below Standard or, worse, contain inaccurate and informal information. There are many books which are excellently written and contain a lot of valuable information. But you have to decide whether they are helpful for the UPSC exam or not. Therefore, great care has to be taken while choosing UPSC Book List.
