📚 RESOURCES — Books & Strategy

File What it is
Standard-Booklist.md One book per subject — NCERTs, standard references, current-affairs sources, and how to use them
Toppers-Strategies.md The principles behind everything in this repo — note-making, Prelims/Mains/interview strategy, the 1-7-30 revision architecture, mindset, and common mistakes

The governing principle

Limited resources, unlimited revision. One book per subject, read five times, beats five books read once.

Read these when

  • Day 1: the booklist — order your books before anything else.
  • Week 1: the strategies file — it explains why the study plan is shaped the way it is.
  • Monthly: re-read the "common mistakes" section. Most campaigns fail on process, not ability.
