dear aspirant,

You can build a base for the subject by going through all the NCERT books from class 6th to class 12 th.

Other books you could refer for optionals:

  • Geomorphology by Savindra Singh
  • Climatology by D S Lal
  • Physical Geography by Savindra Singh covers geomorphology, climatology, biogeography,oceanography and environment geography. ONE book for complete PHYSICAL GEOGRAPHY.A MUST READ.
  • Models in Geography by Majid Hussain.
  • Geographical Thought by Majid Hussain or R D Dixit
  • Human Geography by Majid Hussain
  • INDIAN GEOGRAPHY by D R KHULLAR or R C Tiwari. ( both are equally good)

hope it helped.
