Suggestions -
è SSC always repeats the questions, around 50% questions are taken from previous papers of CGL, CHSL, MTS & others ssc exams, CDS, NDS, etc. Please go though all previous year papers.
è Download previous year papers & practice papers from [email protected] practice paper section with solution. Each practice paper contains the questions from various exams like Railway, SSC, UPSC, PCS etc, so these practice papers will be very beneficial for you.
è In GS Section do not try to attempt (Tukka) the question, whose answer you didn’t know due to Negative marking.
è Keep update yourself with 01 year current affairs like person in news (Like CJI, ICC Player of the year, Oscars, Army chiefs etc), Books & Authors, Government schemes, places in news etc. Suppose your exam is on 27th of April 2014 than prepare current affairs from April 2013 to March 2014. If you find 01 years current affairs lengthy than prepare the current affairs from the month of notification to the 01 month before the exam dates.
è 1st read & understand the NCERT books of each subject than brush up your knowledge with Lucent General Knowledge & @ssc-cgl2014.in website study material.

ReplyDeleteCandidates completed their Graduation on or before 01.01.2014 are eligible for CGL 2014. In case you will clear the written exam than they will reject you candidature at the time of interview.
DeleteSir. A thick book of Tata Macgrawill General Studies Manual is sufficient for SSC CGL even related to History, Culture, Geography, Economic Scene, General Policy & Scientific Research? Both old and new version of NCERT are equally? I heard many coaching recommended older version of NCERT for all the competitive exams. Thank you in advance
ReplyDeleteIf you are talking about TMH General Studies for Civil Services Preliminary Examination Paper - 1 book for ssc cgl exam, then this book has more than enough material for SSC CGL GS, Yes older version of NCERT is better for competitive exam but for ssc exam both NCERT books are good. Older & newer both versions are available for download at NCERT website.
DeleteBut Newer version of NCERT does not help much in this history/culture related MCQs/Descriptive. Even Buddism, Jainism related basic GK-MCQs is not covered properly. Its useless for history on NEW NCERT. Indian History NCERT Textbooks
ReplyDeleteFor Indian History, serious candidates obtain the following old syllabus NCERT history text books, published in 1990, if you can get them somehow. They are currently out of print but are highly recommended.
Ancient India (class XI) authored by RS Sharma. This covers the ancient Indian history syllabus completely. I do not have any pdf. Do you have any pdf? If no, leave that.
Medieval India (class IX) for covering medieval India syllabus authored by Satish Chandra. I do not have any pdf. Do you have any pdf? If no, leave that.
Modern India (class X) text book of old syllabus authored by Bipin Chandra. I keep a pdf.
If I cannot find old syllabus History NCERTs, view their alternatives by the same authors.
http://www.flipkart.com/india-s-ancient-past-new-ed/p/itmczytarhqwjgcb?pid=9780195687859
we realize that Ancient Past by RS Sharma covers the entire scope of the old syllabus NCERT and goes even further into the transition between ancient and medieval past of India.
http://www.flipkart.com/history-medieval-india-01/p/itmdytkfgwnuz7gt?affid=trojanfell
The second book is History of Medieval India by Satish Chandra who had authored the old syllabus NCERT on medieval Indian history.
If you think there is no need to buy specifically both of books only, leave them. I do not want to waste time worrying abt older version of NCERT over GA. Thank you in advance
Are you preparing for SSC exams or UPSC exams.. In ssc exam, they always ask simple one liner questions, which can even cover by Lucent.
DeleteBoth the books are good especially for civils exam, who have history as optional subject. In case you want to do detailed study of history in one book then I suggest Krishna Reddy's History of India, which will cover every exam history questions

Sir. I always study new NCERT + Lucent + ebook of Indian Polity by M. Laxmikanth. but I do not have any book of M.Laxmikanth. I downloaded ebook of M.LaxmiKanth from Internet by saving money free.
ReplyDeleteThank you a great deal for suggesting the helpful book of Krishna Reddy's History of India. Its interested to study the conceptual understanding and in-depth knowledge. Its very useful tips for both SSC CGL and UPSC.
TC. Bye..
M. Laxmikant is very good book it always covers all the objective type questions of all the competitive exams.. If you want to detailed & conceptual study of Indian Polity also for upsc mains Indian polity part study then go for DD Basu... www.flipkart.com/introduction-constitution-india-21st/p/itmdxpffa9rhzmxf?pid=9788180389184&affid=2014SSCCG
DeleteHello,
DeleteCan you send me the link for M.Laxmikanth E-Book from where you have downloaded the E-book, or please mail me at [email protected]
