Dear Aspirant

If you are starting the preparation for the exam first time

Then you need that your basics should be clear

And first you have to purchase some good books for the exam

And as g.k and english are compulsory subjects so you have

To study these subjects and for English you have to read the R.S Aggarwall Book

And for the g.k Read the Ncert book of history ,geography,economics of 8th to 10th

And after that take help from the lucent g.k book

And even can read daily news paper that's the best way

Also choose the optional subjects first

Means decide first the optional subjects that you are going to choose

And start working on those subjects

And make a time table and do proper time to each subject

and the second answer for your question is

Upsc is recruiting on the basis of cut off

If you have cleared the exam and then on the merit basis

They will give you the post and place

Best of luck

General Studies (NCERT books from class viii to xii) 4. current Affairs- News papers, Competition Refresher etc. 5.
