Hello there,

>> If you are looking for a subject for the Mains of the Civil Services exam which would make self study easier and can be done without much previous knowledge,then I would say that Public Administration is the best such subject.
>> The study materials of the subject are available with ease.
>> You may refer to the following books for gelling completely with the subject ::

- Indian Administration by Goyal and Arora.
- Public Administration by S.P.Naidu.
- New Horizons by Mohit Bhattacharya.
- Public Administration and Public Affairs by Nicolas Henry.
- Development Administration by Mohit Bhattacharya.
- Administrative Thinkers by Prasad and Prasad.

>> Not only is Public Administration available at all coaching centers throughout the country,you will also find all question papers among the books and the official website of the UPSC.

>> Hence, I would recommend you to have this as an obvious choice and go for it.

all the best.
