How to Prepare World History UPSC CSE

Preparing for the UPSC exam, explicitly figuring out the questions on world history, may seem daunting because the UPSC only briefly describes the syllabus. As a result, the syllabus for the aspirants must be put together effectively. The world history syllabus, in this case, can be used as a reference. Based on previous papers, having a thorough overview and basic understanding of the topics can significantly aid when answering the GS part associated with world history. 

Prepare World History UPSC CSE

Completion of Syllabus

When appearing in the actual paper, it is advised that aspirants complete all parts of the UPSC syllabus, including those of world history. Preparing a suitable strategy for exam preparation based on the time at hand is helpful.

Apt Course Material

Aspirants should have about a year at hand to go through the Story of Civilization Parts I and II (Arjun Dev"s) old NCERT book. Post this, one can read "Mastering Modern World History" by Norman Lowe. It is imperative that, whichever source material aspirants choose to use, there be enough time for frequent revision.

However, if the aspirant is only starting to prepare for world history after Prelims, considering the lack of time, following only the Story of Civilization Part-I and Part-II (Arjun Dev) old NCERT book can help.

Due to the vastness of the GS Mains Paper 1 syllabus in comparison to the number of questions asked in the Main Exam, it is strongly recommended that candidates devote only a little bit of time to the world history section. That time is better spent studying other aspects of the syllabus.
