2. Microeconomics Class 12
3. Macroeconomics Class 12
4. India People and Economy Class 12 [also known as Indian (Human) geography book]
5. If you’ve time you may also consult NIOS textbooks. else ignore

Books to refer:

1. Indian Economy by Ramesh Singh (Tata Macgrawhill publication)
2. Indian Polity by M.Laxmikanth: meant for Indian Constitution topic, but also important for preparing budget making, CAG, parliamentary Committees, central-state taxes and other issues related to Indian economy.
3. India Yearbook 2014: for government schemes, Ministries and departments.
4. Bipin Chandra: India’s struggle for independence: Meant for the History preparation but also required for understanding economy during British Raj. (Mains GS1)
5. Bipin Chandra: India since independence: meant for Post-Indepdence topic for Mains GS1 topic. But also helps in Land reforms, cooperative movement, bank nationalization, five year planning related topics of Indian Economy.

Other sources:

SOURCE	INDIAN ECONOMY
pib.nic.in	for government scheme, planning related
Mrunal.org/economy	yes
12th FYP report PDF	overview given @end of each chapter
Hindu/Indianexpress	Must maintain daily notes.
Economy Survey Budget	summaries given in Mrunal.org
Rail budget	Hardly useful. just get an overview of MCQ worthy info. don’t waste more time in doing Ph.D.
Competitive magazines	Just to update your notes, in case you missed any important development from newspapers. don’t use magazine as primary source for economy preparation.
frontline, EPW	helps in descriptive, essay and interview. Should be read from library.
Yojana Magazine	Deals with government schemes and planning related issues.
Kurukshetra	deals mainly with Rural development. Important for Public Administration. But for general studies- depends on your time and mood.

Not required/useless/bogus

1. Dutt Sundaram, Mishra Puri, Uma Kapila = these are all academic books. For general studies/competitive exams you don’t need to prepare that deep. so, Don’t waste time in them. Certain (coaching) sites from 90s era still mention these as reference sources. My advice: Avoid.
2. Economics Times, Financial Express, Business line etc.= In certain doctored (fake) topper interviews published in certain magazines, the topper would claim “I read all these newspapers every day for preparing economy.” This is overkill, humanly impossible. At most one newspaper is sufficient. For competitive exam you don’t need to prepare that deep from three-four different newspapers. However, if a topic is really important (such as GST/DTC related development) then you may use google to dig more from those newspapers. But don’t waste time reading three newspapers per day.
3. Coaching material/Postal material: Most of them just bullet the paragraphs given in Hindu and sell it as “Current affairs compilation”. Waste of time and money.

How to prepare Economy for IIM/MBA GDPI/Interviews

Most of the candidates spend entire year only on CAT. They start economy/current affairs preparation only 1-2 months before the GDPI= low quality answers=#EPICFAIL. You must do following

1. Daily read any one English newspaper – (preferably IndianExpress, Hindu) that’ll help you even in reading comprehension.
2. Maintain notes for important developments related to BusinessGK/FDI/Graduation field. Those IIM professors are too intelligent to fall for low quality clichéd points taught in magazines and *** classes for GDPI.

Idea prep = NCERT + Ramesh Singh. But if you want to take a shortcut then I would recommend go through “Day to Day Economy by Satish Yeodhar (IIM Ahmebad Business books series);
