You can go for Shubhra Ranjan Mam's PSIR Notes. All the Statick + Philophical portion is well covered in those notes. Also read Laxmikanth Sirs Book for Indian Political System and daily current affairs is must for IR and Comparative politics. But shubhra mam notes cover around 80% of th syllabus and language is also easy so my suggestion is rather going though multiple books read notes as many times as possible and supplement these notes with current affairs and you are good to go. read less

Math is the best subject because it is logical - it is very straightforward and simple. Math has acool tool called a calculator to do some of the logical thinking. Emotion is not involved anywhere inmath, which makes it straightforward, and does not have any hidden meanings within it. If done right youcan not get a wrong answer in math because opinions and feelings are not involved. Math appears thesame to everyone since opinion is not involved.Math can be branched out in to many different subjects like chemistry, industrial technology, andcomputer programming. Math is used in chemistry to balance formulas and measuring chemicals. Inindustrial technology it is used for adding fractions and measuring. In computer programming it is usedwhen converting numbers to binary and hexadecimal numbers. Through math comes charts and graphs
Our focus is not just limited to the theoretical aspects of knowledge, in fact the whole treasure of practical knowledge is waiting for the aspirants to come and fulfill their dreams and convert them into reality.
