buy, mukesh maheshwari's book on mppsc, second, learn everything factually, most question asked in MPPSC are factual in nature. only few concepts. make sure you have covered currents related to MP for past 7 months prior to the exam. and learn everything about MP , eco, geo, history, locations of places, institutes, awards , rewards, If anything happens at the national level related to MP do that, ex. some monetary package or grant in aid given to mp, or railway assigned to mp and so. use books like LUCENT for computer and science GK, and read geography from TMH or Unique's manual for upsc GS that will help a lot, same for HISTORY and economics. you'll be able to cover everything that way.
last, make sure you read laws mentioned in syllabus about SC, ST rights and prevention of atrocities and other mention, as they asked around 15 questions from those act last year. I hope that helps.
Hi sanki,I am appearing for the very first time in mppsc.I have heard of one book by some PUNEKAR PUBLICATION,INDORE.Is the book the best beg among the books available in the market?.Also,kindly post your views in respect of mukesh maheshwari's books vs punekar pub.I want a book that covers major portion of mains exam as well and where to buy in Delhi.
Hello Sanki, where to get current affairs related to MP. Like u mentioned awards, sports and etc. Is there any books which would help? Also I have bought Arihant's MPPSC book, will it help? Thanx
Anyone for this years prelims or last year passed candidates, please suggest for preparation
Appeared for MPPSC 2013 and cleared prelims.
Paper I was Factual with some 15 questions specific to MP ( like name of Speaker of Leg Assembly, site of Jyotirling etc.) . I went through a book Arihant :Know ur State MP). Spent 1 week reading about MP Rest were Okay if you are preparing for UPSC.
Paper II was comparatively easier. I think With no negative marking, cut off was 308
@nonu761 punekar is as good as maheshwari, its comparable, they almost provide similar data too. but these book punekar and maheshwari both r factual in nature, they provide detailed data on MP and MP related facts and sheets. although they will cover most of your course related to MP but not everything.
YOU have to study basic topics, of history, geography, polity, science etc from other books, that is essential , follow the GS syllabus of CIVIL in general studies, cover all of it from any of the GS manual of TMH, UNIQUE or spectrum, OR Just read NCERTS are most of the seniors recommend. Reason is that not all question relate to MP, and not everything comes from general books either. YES maheshwari will cover most of the syllabus related to MP for both prelims and mains. but remember IT only has syllabus related to MP and not everything in india. read that + read other basic books. good coaching notes will do. MP exams r more theoretical.
MY personal suggestion is to read basic books many times, As most of MPPSC questions are factual in nature , straight forward and bookish(theoretical in nature).
about getting these books in delhi , im not sure, but look for them around chandni chowk main market. IF you are not able to get from their, ask your friend of someone u know, from bhopal, gwalior, indore, or any other city in MP, to send you.

first, any book is a good book, arihants MPPSC book is good, i have had seen it in general. syllabus was covered nicely. but my personal suggestion is to read basic books too. since sometimes compiled books don't have information found in basic NCERT books, specially for subjects like geography, economics, polity, history and science. so do that too.
KNOW your state:madhya pradesh by arihant was good too but it doesn't cover most of the things , and comparing to Maheshwari and Punekar's book it covered very less. meshwari and punekar have more facts and info about MP then arihants book. i have read both books. the ONLY catch is maheshwari & punekar is only available in HINDI. while arihant is available both in HINDI and English.
cut off was 306 as revealed by MPPSC. About preparing for
About current affairs. dude 2 options. either get compiled notes of some coaching which prepare current affairs. like kothari in indore or prepare them from net or from newpapers which is tedious work. There are also some magazines which cover MP current but that is only available in local markets in cities of mp , you will have to look for them. but i don't recommend them. some of them carry old info which require scrutiny .
THANKX A LOT @sanki Just 1 more questions, der r lot of NCERT books available.... Which NCERT books to study like any of any specific standard or any specific subject?....in dis 3 months of time

Bro, study, (new syllabus) class XI & xII geography book(physical, human and geography of india specially), for basic science read 9th and 10th NCERT new syllabus books + read either TMH's manual's Science section or even LUcent's science section (consisting physics, chemistry, biology ) would do. but its essential to have concepts of basic physics, chemistry and bio and specially bio , lots of question are asked.
for economics, best is to study XI economy book + macro and micro economics of xII , both new syllabus books. IF you dno't want to do that for economics just read ramesh singh's book , its good and covers all sorts of basics of most exams.
constitution, read only indian polity class xI book, but best would be to study laxmikant's india polity , it would cover everything without much ado, if you read laxmikant u don't need to read class xi book.
for history : dude go to delhi mukherjee nagar or rajendra nagar , buy old NCERT history books, either photocopy or original, IF You can find old ncerts from your local area then do that.
MODERN INDIA : BIPIN CHANDRA ANCIENT INDIA; R S SHARAN MEDIEVAL INDIA EITHER BY SATISH CHANDRA OR ROMILLA THAPAR. THEY R ESSENTIAL BOOKS . DON'T read new syllabus books of HISTORY they don't have they same kind of material as older ones. all these one were in use around year 2000 -20002 . so look for them in local market or central libraries of your city , ask them if you could get photo copy of them.
study environment and ecology either from ICSE X book or class XII biology book. or find some other book, if you can find use National open schools ecology and environment course class XII
