Candidates aspiring to crack MPSC with flying colours should analyse the question pattern by solving the previous ten years’ questions. You must also be well prepared with the history, geography, and current affairs related to Maharashtra State.

Always make short and comprehensive notes. Keep revising your notes regularly, which will help you get a tight hold on the critical dates and concepts. Try to read and revise only the best books for any subject rather than reading every book you come across. The books mentioned above are some of the best books which can be considered while preparing.
