The competition in every exam has reached an altogether new level with the coaching industry booming up and so, it becomes necessary to make a wise choice of books to utilise your time maximally.
I will write about the books I used. Note that I mostly relied on books and self-study and so, I literally had a library of books with me. You are definitely not expected to purchase them all.
