- Mohit Bhattacharya- (New Horizons Of Public Administration )
- M.Laxmikanth <-- don't go xerox here - buy original.
- Nicholas Henry (Public Affairs and Public Administration ) <-- only some chapters are imp so you can go xeroxing.
Stephen Robins : Essentials in Organizational Behavior (Low Price Edition)- There are two Stephen Robbin books in the market, one is thick like encyclopedia but you've to buy the thinner book –which is only 300 pages.
- Prasad & Prasad (Administrative thinkers) OR TMH/S.R.Maheshwari (most people use Prasad & Prasad.)
- Avasthi & Avasthi (Indian Administration)<- MUST, because this covers entire Paper-2 syllabus. OR Arora & Goyal (not recommended cause its not updated)
- Wizard Indian Polity .
Solved prelim Paper set of Public Administration Prelim- (Arihant / Wizard) –
but buy Topic wise arranged papersets (like Arihant / Wizard etc) which gives you answers + detailed explaination as well, so you can see what UPSC asks from each topics and why is the given answer the correct answer.
Optionally
- Avasthi & Maheshwari (you'll notice that some chapters of it are copy paste of Avasthi & Avasthi.)
Instead of A&M, you use Fadia And Fadia (same things, but I like A&M. for no rational reason.)
If you've been reading list of books from other websites / coaching classes.
Then you'll see that they've recommended
- LM Prasad
- OG Glen Stahl
- Terry & Franklin
- Nigro & Nigro
- IIPA Journals.
- Lack of time
- I can't find them in the book stores where I live.
- They're more about MBA and less about Public Administration
- I did not see many questions in UPSC that my books did not cover and these books did. i.e. you might get 1 or 2 questions from them, but for that you've to read and revise 1000+ pages. Its not worth it with respect to, Cost benefit ratio.
Apart from that – most importantly,
don't even waste your time glancing over coaching classes etc stuff or even listening to people who talk about it. because more you listen - more your brain starts doubting about your method of preparation. .
