Booklist and Resources for UPSC Mains | IAS Mains booklist used by me Manuj Jindal IAS

Aspirants must know that mains sources for UPSC are different from prelims sources. Even the way the preparation has to be done is different for both the stages of the exam.

I am going to list down various sources that I used for preparation in this first video. I have used various examples from the past exams to provide you aspirants the right context to study for UPSC Mains exam. Good luck!
