Well there are many books which you can study, if you are looking to prepare for UPSC. Everyone has their own preferences, but there are some books, which almost everyone say that it is important.

Here in this article, after hours of research, I have compiled the list of bare minimum books and study material which you must read if you are preparing for USPC or any Civil Services exam.

Start with NCERT/NIOS/ICSE books, you must study them, they will form your base.

For history, geography, sociology, civics, political science, polity, public administration, environment read class 8-12 standards books. Depending on your choice or understanding you can choose Ncert, Nios or Icse books. I mix books as some books are well written, while some are not.
