Study material and reference books We at KPS believe in observation before action. This applies to our study material, as well. We desired to create one reference source for all UPSC questions, so we did. The study material provided to you along this package is comprehensive and covers all relevant UPSC questions, both preliminary and mains. These workbooks are designed to compliment your lectures, in which we will be explaining each and every concept in detail. Each monthly package will accompany its own study material. Hence, a revised material to refer to before beginning each subject. Our advice to you is to review each workbook before starting a lecture and solve all questions, both objective and subjective after the lecture has ended. Listening or reading will not suffice your preparation, it is the questionnaire practice that will make you excel in your exam. Prelims and Mains test series will compliment your preparation, hence, try to solve them along with your syllabus. They are designed to parallel to your class syllabus, hence, you will not face any difficulty, if you stick to the schedule. If you want, you can start building your base by reading some N.C.E.R.T books. Though we cover all N.C.E.R.T books in our study material only, still, we see some students wanting to read these books. Hence, we are enlisting them for your convenience. You can get them at any local bookstore.
