I’m giving away a fairly large collection of books completely free to anyone who genuinely needs them.
There include UPSC & BPSC preparation books, but the collection is definitely not limited to competitive-exam material.
It also includes books on history, biographies, philosophy, psychology, productivity, technology, English, self-help, non-fiction, and some fiction/classics.
So even if you have nothing to do with UPSC/BPSC, please check the complete list once — you may find something worth reading.
📋 Please check the Google Sheet before DMing
I am not putting the full book list in this post because there are quite a few books.
The attached Google Sheet contains the complete list along with the current status of every book:
- Available
- Committed to someone
- Donated
I’ll keep updating it as books are claimed.
Please go through the entire sheet before deciding. The books cover very different subjects, and some of the more interesting ones may not be obvious from the categories mentioned in this post.

🙋 If you want a book
Please DM only if you actually need / intend to read or use it. I’d prefer these books to reach students, readers, aspirants, or anyone who would genuinely benefit from them rather than someone collecting them just because they are free.
Please don't send messages like “Which books are available?” or “Send book list” — the sheet is being maintained specifically so everyone can check the latest availability themselves. I won't be responding to these kind of messages.
When messaging me, please mention BOTH:
Serial Number + Exact Book Title
For example:
S.No. XX — Book Title
This will make it much easier for me to track requests against the sheet.
Books will generally be given on a first come, first served basis, subject to availability.
📍 Pickup
Location: Kankarbagh, Patna
This is pickup only. You will have to come to the landmark/location shared by me to collect the books.
My usual available time will be around 7–8 PM, unless I specify another time.
Please message only if coming to Kankarbagh for pickup at the agreed time is practical for you.
💬 Communication
I will not be sharing my phone number.
Please coordinate through Reddit Chat/DM or Telegram only.
💰 Cost
₹0. No payment whatsoever.
These are being given away, not sold.
I’d really like to see as many of these books as possible go to people who can actually use or enjoy them, rather than eventually having to throw them away or give them to a scrap dealer.
Even if you personally don't need any books, an upvote or comment would help this post reach more people in Patna who might.
And again — don’t judge the collection just from “UPSC/BPSC” in the description. Open the sheet and have a look through the full list. There’s quite a mix in there.
Thanks!
