LIC AAO — Study material for this exam

LIC AAO is over-served by material for the banking sections and under-served for the insurance section, so the list below is deliberately short where the market is crowded and specific where it is thin. Everything listed is either a standard title or an official source.

Reading list for LIC AAO, by section.
Section	Read	Why this and not more
Reasoning	A standard verbal and analytical reasoning text; puzzle and seating-arrangement practice sets; the reasoning notes on this site	Puzzles are the bulk of both stages; one book and daily sets are enough
Quantitative aptitude and DI	A standard quantitative aptitude text for arithmetic; a DI practice book with caselets and missing-data sets	The mains DI section is three marks a question and set-based; the arithmetic base must be automatic
English	A grammar and usage text; daily editorial reading; the English notes on this site for RC, cloze and error spotting	Qualifying at both stages — enough to pass comfortably, not to master
Current affairs	A monthly current-affairs digest for the six months before the exam; the daily current affairs on this site	Two-mark factual questions; the digest format matches them
Insurance and financial awareness	LIC’s website (history, plans, annual report highlights); IRDAI’s website (regulations, annual report, handbook); scheme pages of PMJJBY, PMSBY, APY; the money and banking notes here	No single book covers it well; official sources are current and free
Descriptive English	Model e-mails, reports and précis from bank descriptive-paper guides; typing practice	The forms are fixed by the notification; templates plus practice pass it
