BOOK LIST : PSYCHOLOGY MAINS

1. MUKUL PATHAK SIR'S CLASS NOTE ( FOR BOTH PAPERS)(2-3 READINGS FOR BASIC UNDERSTANDING)

2. MUKUL PATHAK SIR'S PRINTED MATERIAL ( FOR PAPER 2 ONLY.READ VERY LESS FOR PAPER 1 AS IT IS TOO BULKY)

3. ANY ONE OF THE THREE.MORGAN KING or BARON or CICCARELLI.The last one is good.Read it 2-3 times and make personal note of each chapter.Baron is also good and continue with it if you are familiar with it or have read it once.

4. SYSTEMS AND THEORIES OF PSYCHOLOGY By KRAWIEC & CHAPLIN ( If u have less time then read Perception 2 chapters,Personality,Thinking and Language,Quantitative Psychology)(If you have enough time in your hand then read the whole book word by word and 2-3 times and make note of each chapter)
EXCELLENT BOOK.READ IT WELL IF YOU WANT A SCORE OF 370-400.

  3. Hi,
    I have a question that will help a lot of people. Please tell us if a quality coaching (like Vajiram for Psychology) is necessary to get good marks in Psychology in mains. We non delhites can get the books and the class notes photocopy but moving is Delhi is not always possible and there is no quality coaching available elsewhere. So, can we manage a good score with the books and the class notes and some extra hardwork (which we can do in the time and resources saved by not going to delhi) or does a quality coaching (esp like Vajiram) surpass everything. Ofcourse, people can clear the exam even without coachings, but I am looking for the practical advice. I am asking this because I can not evaluate between "coaching in delhi" and "self study with your suggested list and some extra hard work".
    Please let us know, it would be of great great help.
    Thanks,
    Deepak

  5. HI SNEHA,

    MUKUL PATHAK SIR'S NEW SYLLABUS CLASS NOTE XEROX IS AVAILABLE AT "ASHA PHOTOSTAT" NEAR SOOD BOOKSTORE IN FRONT OF VAJIRAM & RAVI IN OLD RAJINDER NAGAR.IT IS DIFFICULT TO GET 370-400 IN PSYCHOLOGY BY SELF STUDY.COACHING DEFINITELY HELPS.SO PLEASE AVAIL THE OPPORTUNITY IF FINANCIAL PROBLEM IS NOT THERE ...

    IF FINANCIAL CONSTRAINTS ARE THERE,JUST GO THROUGH THE TOP 5-6 BOOKS & MATERIAL MENTIONED BY ME THOROUGHLY.THAT WILL SUFFICE.BUT YOU MUST HAVE HIGH MOTIVATION,DETERMINATION & INTEREST ...

    ReplyDelete
  6. HI DEEPAK & SATHY,

    THE THING IS THAT THERE ARE SOME FINER NUANCES OF AN OPTIONAL WHICH CAN BE UNDERSTOOD ONLY IN A CLASS ROOM TAKEN BY A HIGH-QUALITY TEACHER.THEREFORE MUKUL PATHAK SIR'S CLASS DEFINITELY HELPS IN GETTING 350-400 MARKS IN PSYCHOLOGY.HE TEACHES HOW TO WRITE,MAKES YOUR UNDERSTANDING CLEAR & "GENERATES INTEREST" IN "YOUR HEART" TOWARDS PSYCHOLOGY.

    THIS IS IMPORTANT.

    IF YOU DON'T GO TO DELHI AND DO NOT ATTEND COACHING THEN IT WILL REQUIRE "A SUPREME EFFORT" FROM YOU TO GET MORE THAN 350 MARKS IN PSYCHOLGY.AS EVERYTHING "YOU" WILL HAVE TO UNDERSTAND & MASTER.IT WILL DEMAND NOTHING LESS THAN 100 % EFFORT.

    WITH COACHING EVEN 70-80 % EFFORT WILL GIVE YOU 350-380 MARKS.BUT HERE ALSO YOU MUST HAVE HIGH INTEREST IN PSYCHOLGY,YOU MUST ENJOY THE PROCESS OF LEARNING NEW THINGS IN PSYCHOLOGY & YOU MUST SUSTAIN THE MOTIVATION FOR 1-2 YEARS.

    SO THE CHOICE IS YOURS ...

    STILL COACHING IS BETTER.IF YOU CAN GO FOR IT,NOTHING BETTER THAN THIS ...

  23. Do anyone think it is possible to crack IAS main without joining any coaching institute. I cant do that while making my both ends meet. What is your opinion?

    ReplyDelete
  24. I believe coaching sets you the strategy for your preparation. In that way you need to get the direction right. the rest is your effort and commitment to that effort. All the best and wishes to you dear Sarthak Karmakar
