Not good for starters

The content of the book is very exhaustive and there is no doubt about this. The contents under each category is given in detail with all the technical words (too much technical terms in General Science that i got annoyed).

But the key is that if you are just starting your preparations and you do not know what to take and what to leave from the reading, you would end up wasting your time focusing on biological words etc., which is hardly of any importance. The language mode is not much Indian, so please look for another book if your are no comfortable with the style.

To sum it up, if you are already in your run for preparations and looking for a "additional book", this one makes a great exhaustive material. To start your preparations, i would suggest not to use this.

Good for Prelim Preparation

Hi,

I bought this book for my prelim preparation , it is good as well have some drawback . It's very huge book.So, font size are small difficult to read.
The content of this book very depth not for prelim level more than that. I fought some questions and answers are wrong in mcq.

Apart from that Map and online material(Only for Mock Exam) was good.

I suggest this book only for long time preparation, not shot time(like 6 month).
