thank you sir for your encouraging reply. Yes, indeed CSS 2014 exam also tested the philosophical side of the candidates.. In fact i want to replace my old optional's (Journalism and Sociology) with Philosophy
In Css 2003, there was a complete essay on "existentialism".. So philosophy is getting increased importance in CSS

Secondly, Philosophy is high-scoring subject which will also increase your critical, analytical and argumentative skills....In CSS Essay paper 2014, there were three completely philosophical essays such as "Language is a Fit Data for Research in Humanities & Social Sciences" & "Can Meaning Be Fixed?" (These topics are totally related with Philosophical theories i.e. Pragmatism, Logical Positivism, Analytic Philosophy, Structuralism, Hermeneutics etc.).
After all, You need:
For Paper I:
A Concise Introduction to Logic by Patrick J. Hurley
For Paper II:
History of Philosophy Eastern & Western by Radhakrishnan
Studies in Muslim Philosophy by M. Saeed Sheikh
