NCERT Foundation Course Classroom/Online Batch5
The National Council of Educational Research and
Training (NCERT) textbooks hold significant importance in the
preparation for the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) Civil
Services Examination. Here are several reasons why NCERT books are
considered crucial:
1. Foundation Building: NCERT books
provide a strong foundation in various subjects like history, geography,
polity, economy, and science. They are written in a concise and
comprehensive manner, making them ideal for developing a basic
understanding of these subjects.
2. Clarity and Simplicity:
NCERT books are known for their clarity and simplicity in explaining
complex concepts. This helps aspirants, especially those from
non-specialized backgrounds, grasp fundamental ideas and principles
easily.
3. Standard Content: UPSC often draws questions directly from NCERT textbooks.
Hence, a thorough reading and understanding of these books can help in scoring well
in the Prelims exam.
4. Covers UPSC Syllabus:
The syllabus for UPSC Prelims and Mains broadly aligns with the content
covered in NCERT textbooks. Therefore, studying NCERT books ensures
that you are covering the topics required for the examination.
5. Historical Perspective:
NCERT books provide historical perspectives and context to various
topics. This is essential for understanding the evolution of various
aspects of Indian society and governance, which is often tested in the
UPSC exams.
6. Breadth of Topics: NCERT books cover a
wide range of subjects and topics, making them a one-stop resource for
UPSC aspirants to build a well-rounded knowledge base.
7. Language Clarity: UPSC exams require clear and concise writing. Reading NCERT books helps aspirants improve their language and writing skills.
However,
it's important to note that while NCERT books are a valuable resource,
they are not the sole source of preparation for UPSC exams. Aspirants
should also supplement their studies with other relevant books,
newspapers, magazines, online resources, and practice tests to ensure a
comprehensive understanding of the subjects and to stay updated with
current affairs.
Additionally, NCERT books may not cover some advanced topics required for the Mains exam, so candidates should refer to other foundation and advance courses conducted by Shubhra Ranjan IAS in-depth knowledge.
