[@lincpentonic7825]

Satyam Gandhi is living example of what we called as RATTU TOTA(also immature as already mention by Vijendra sir, and in Unacademy interview) and akshat jain is exceptional case(also overrated like Shrusti jayant), I mean just take a look at his upbringing, father IPS mother IRS, it was inevitable that son would also join civil service. They r PR people. If you wanna watch sensible mature IAS material kinda personality, I would suggest people like Junaid ahmed, Kanishk, Vijay(or something like that), manuj Jindal...etc

[@sreenivasaraokoti7591]

He is brilliant. Panel fantastic. But the candidate seems little in a hurry . It looks as if he is viewing this as mock interview and so he need not seriously take it . So he barged a few questions to the panel expecting corrections . Otherwise his flow is terrific . Feedback is upto the point

Please Tell me about the books required to study for cracking upsc in very first attempt of all subjects

[@DrishtiIASEnglish]

Hello Arpit! Hope you are doing well. For beginning the preparation, one can start with NCERTs as they are good in clearing the basic concepts of a subject. Secondly, one can choose a good reference book to clear depths of the subjects or any study material package from a trusted coaching. Thirdly, covering current affairs from the trusted newspapers such as The Hindu/ The Indian Express and websites like PIB is helpful in the preparation of UPSC CSE. Rest is about the consistency , determination and patience. Hope this helped a bit!
