We have tried to compile all the essential books for the TNPSC Exams
like Group 1, Group 2 (Interview Posts), Group 2 (Non-Interview Posts),

Before discussing about the list of books
for General Studies, it will good to know the importance of Current
Affairs section in TNPSC Exams. Because nowadays
TNPSC Question papers are having more number of current affairs
question, nearly 10 to 20 based on the number of GS Questions. For
example the number of Current affairs questions in group 1 would be more
when compared with other exams as it is having 150 GS questions.
