    HELLO,

    First of all you have to go through the Question Pattern for which exam you want to appear. You can download and print Previous Years Question Papers at www.upsc.gov.in

    NCERT books are best for the basic knowledge because it covers full syllabus of UPSC.

    You can also practice more and more MODEL Question Papers from a sample paper by which you can experience to the Questions coming in UPSC exams.

    Wish you all the best,
