POLITY
1.

NCERT Political science must be read. Even though no questions

came from CSAT-2014), but it has its utilities.

2.

Indian Polity by M.Laxmikanth (Tata Macgrawhill Publication) must

be used as Base-book for polity theory. All chapters, appendix must be
prepared in thorough detail, all mock questions must be solved.
Although recent exams have been mainly focused President,
parliament and DPSP chapters and overall easier nature of question
compared to last year. BUT you cannot take anything for granted in
UPSC.

3.

India Yearbooks Chapter 3 (Polity) must be read.

4.

Polity Current affairs must be prepared throughout the year, from

TheHINDU.

Because, even though current polity not asked in CSAT-2014, but

Mains-2013 GS paper II descriptive questions on polity, had the
current flavor.

Besides Current Polity important for interviews and backup exams

(SSC, CAPF) etc. anyways.
