He explains why these books are the foundation of IAS preparation, emphasizing that while Class 11-12 NCERTs are the highest priority for direct Prelims and Mains questions, beginners should start from Class 6 to build a solid conceptual base. To improve retention, he recommends a subject-wise reading strategy rather than a class-wise approach, which helps aspirants maintain continuity across the UPSC syllabus. Regarding the Old vs New NCERT debate, he clarifies that while new editions are best for most subjects, the Old NCERTs for History remain essential for the Civil Services Exam. Instead of buying expensive NCERT summaries or wasting time on separate short notes, he advises practicing "intensive reading" by making margin notes directly in the textbooks. This method enhances visual memory and streamlines revision. Furthermore, he highlights that the exercise questions at the end of NCERT chapters are often at the same level as UPSC Mains questions, making them a vital resource for answer writing practice. Whether you are a beginner or a veteran, this guide covers everything from the basic booklist to advanced note-making strategies for the UPSC CSE. 00:00 Introduction and the role of NCERTs 00:38 Strategy for choosing NCERTs (Class, Priority, and Old vs New) 06:21 How to read NCERTs, Classwise or Subjectwise? 08:35 Fast vs Intensive reading and Margin notes 13:37 Should You make notes of NCERTs Learn with UPSCprep.com :    / @learnwithupscprep   UPSC Civil Services Exam is one of the most prestigious exams in the country. It has three parts, the Prelims exam, the Main exam and the Personality test, which you need to clear in order to become an IAS or IPS officer. All other Group A services of the Government of India recruit people through the UPSC Civil services exam itself and because of this, there is a lot of competition in this exam. Hence, your UPSC preparation should be strategic, informed and well planned. Your UPSC preparation should not be based on blind adherence to any program. Rather you should give a thought about how your are preparing. The best way to go forward is to study the blogs and tips given by previous year toppers about how to go about UPSC CSE for all three stages of UPSC Prelims, UPSC Mains and the Personality test also known as the UPSC Interview, and then make your UPSC preparation strategy accordingly. Doing static subjects like polity, economy, environment, geography and history for your UPSC preparation is a solid bet to increase your chances of clearing this exam. But this must all be supplemented by current affairs for best effect.
