| Science (theory + current) | GS Manual (only Physics) + NCERTs 6-11th |
| Environment (theory + current) | Did gadha majdoori in this topic, internet digging, so can’t recall from act source + Shankar IAS Printed notes (just for the sake of competitive edge) |

| geography India | NCERT |
| geography world | GC Leong |
