Science and Technology– no single resource , it is necessary to link the current affairs with static portion . The main source one should rely on is Vision IAS monthly magazine.
Geography – 11th and 12th NCERT , Oxford student atlas.

Internal security and Disaster management – Vision Mains 365 is sufficient.
Society and social justice – Class 12 Sociology NCERT + Vision Value added material.
Governance – Vision IAS mains 365.
International relations – Mainly current affairs oriented , cover Vision Mains 365 and PT 365.
Ethics – to understand the basics try to cover A Practical Approach to Ethics Integrity and aptitude by D K Balaji book and in order to understand the answer writing structure access the toppers notes available online.
CSAT– Arun sharma’s book is the most followed resource but the key to crack CSAT is to do the Previous Year Questions and understand the pattern of the exam.
When it comes to CSE preparation it is not how many books you covered but how much knowledge you are able to understand , retain and recollect. So I personally recommend you to rely on one single resource and gain an in depth knowledge on the given topics.
