    The above study material is undoubtedly good but incomplete without NCERT books of 11th and 12th and daily dose of two good newspapers.

    *Statistics and Indian Economy
    *For Indian Economy, the topics like Planning, Growth, Mobilisation of Resources,Employment, Foreign Trade, Economic and *Diplomacy issues relating oil, gas, energy, role of IMF, WTO, World Bank, etc. should be prepared well.
    *Thorough knowledge on environment, climate change, ecology, biodiversity is needed.
    *The topics between September 2010 and October 2011 must be thoroughly studied.
    *What the candidates have to keep in mind is that the questions based on the less prominent news too may be asked.
