Hi,
Yes, the books are very helpful. Rest, it is up to you whether you like to learn from books or you think that classroom trainings are better. Some people like to learn under the direct supervision of a teacher and in that case, you can opt for coaching classes. If you are looking for some good books for UPSC preparation:
1. Indian Polity for Civil Services Examinations by M. Laxmikanth (Polity).
2. Indian Art and Culture by Nitin Singhania (Culture).
3. Oxford School Atlas by Oxford Publishers (Geography).
4. Certificate Physical and Human Geography by Goh Cheng Long (Geography).
5. Indian Economy by Ramesh Singh (Economy).
6. India Year

Hi Adarsh,
You can apply through CDSE entry. CDSE is an exam conducted by UPSC twice, every year. The training is conducted in AFA, and then the candidate is moved to the specialized flying training establishment. This entry too is meant for all the three forces, just like NDA. The exam consists three papers consisting of General awareness, English and Mathematics. A Graduate (Three Year Course), in any discipline from a recognized University (with Physics and Mathematics at 10+2 level) / BE / B Tech (Four Year Course) is eligible for the exam.

Hello Rishav
It totally depend upon the age limit set by NDA for students to appear in the exam. The age range for NDA is 2nd July 1999 to 2nd July 2002. The actual date of birth mentioned in your matriculation certificate will be taken as final. So, if your age came in this limit then you are eligible for appearing in this exam.
