(1)Physical Geography:
geomorphology , climatology and oceanography can be covered from
physical geography by Savindra Singh but bio geography part should be
covered either from Rupa Series orTtata Mcgraw Hill. G C Leong 1-14th
chapter should also be covered.
(2)Human Geography:
Man and environment relationship from geographical thought by Majid
Hussein
Population from geography of population by R C Chandana
Economic activities would be covered in world geography so need not
prepare it seperately
Settlements from Rupa Series and Ramachandran
G C Leong 15th to 25th chapter and the last chapter i.e “The
First People” from human geography by Majid Hussein should be
covered
(3)Geography of the World :
From Darshan Singh Manku or Tikka. Manku has recent data i.e of 2001
so manku is better. Don’t try to remember all places remember only
very important places for example mexico is famous for silver and
therefore need you need not worry about coal and iron industries in
mexico. I have seen many people unnecessarily getting tensed and
confused trying to remember all places and rankings in production
which is quite unnecessary.
(4)Geographical Thought :
From Majid Hussein and Adhikari. Recent pattern shows that thought
has become very crucial in prelims and they are asking questions in
depth so study both these books thoroughly and read in between lines.
(5)Techniques of Geographical Analysis :
From 11th qnd 12th NCERT books and
R L Singh and classnotes of either SK Manocha or Interactions.
Do this topic thoroughly as the questions asked in this topic have
increased over the years. Don’t just mug up projections rather try to
understand how they are derived.
(6)Indian Geography :
From Khuller would suffice.
(7)Map Pointing :
From Oxford and Orient Longman.
I will definitely try to mail some useful information for prelims which are not
available in these text books to my friend abhishek so that he can post it
here.
“Luck is what you have left over after you give 100 percent. All of us have
bad luck and good luck. The man who persists through the bad luck -- who
keeps right on going -- is the man who is there when the good luck comes --
and is ready to receive it.”
Best of luck!!
