Hello everyone and welcome to MPSC Material website and today you will see book list for MPSC ASO Exam. Its Assistant Section Officer Exam or Assistant Desk Officer Exam or Assistant Exam.

So, we know that MPSC ASO-PSI-STI would be Combined Preliminary Exam so for that there will be same books for preparation of preliminary examination and paper 1 of mains examination but, the mains syllabus of paper 2 of all three exams is little bit different according to job. So, in this post we are going to list out the book list for MPSC ASO Prelim and MPSC ASO Mains.

Note: Before going to the book list you must know that you have to read NCERT Books or State Board Books at least to understand the basic concepts and basic knowledge. The NCERT Books or State Board Books are not compulsory to read but are necessary, because whenever you will enter into the world of competitive examinations then you will not be able to read the NCERT Books or State Board Books if you will prepare for District Level Exams, State Level Exams as well as Country Level Exams simultaneously.

Note: I am not considering UPSC CSE Exam at all. If you are preparing for both UPSC and MPSC exams then you have to read different books or these books and other standard books.
