I don't think we have one particular book that is sufficient for our preparation. Better read newspapers, watch news on tv, check B-magazines on regular basis, surf internet. And follow few threads here.

Try and get your hands on any good yearbook..e.g.: Manorama..or the Pearson's one..or the Penguin one.. The blend of current affairs and past records make these books a very good aid in cracking the G.K. section of the various entrance exams.

One could also consider buying the TIME almanac. It's more expensive but touches upon world affairs in more detail than Indian yearbooks. However, if you want to save money, and can consult online resources, you could try going to Infoplease: Encyclopedia, Almanac, Atlas, Biographies, Dictionary, Thesaurus. Free online reference, research & homework help. — Infoplease.com.

The TIME almanac shares a lot of information from this site.
