📔UPSC CSE Prelim 10 Previous Years
“Excellence is not an act but a habit” This profound insight by Will Durant aptly encapsulates the essence of preparing for the Civil Services Examination (CSE), a formidable entrance test administered by the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) into India’s prestigious civil services, including the Indian Administrative Service (IAS), Indian Foreign Service (IFS), and Indian Police Service (IPS)
Widely regarded as one of the most challenging exams, the CSE is held in three stages: the preliminary examination, the Mmain examination, and a final interview. Success in this examination demands not only rigorous practice but also access to superior resources and guidance
Each year, the UPSC attracts nearly 900,000 to 1,000,000 applicants, making the journey toward securing a high rank daunting for many, regardless of their level of preparation quality
This year’s (2024) UPSC paper was moderate in difficulty, emphasizing on polity, geography, and economy, with relatively fewer questions from the history section. Greater focus should be given on the static syllabus parts. Previous year papers once again were proved to be crucial again, which highlighted the importance of understanding key points, themes, and concepts. Current affairs questions were non-traditional and focused on government schemes and international organizations. Additionally, being thorough with maps is essential. Assertion-reason and match-thefollowing questions were comparatively complex. Overall, the UPSC exam remains highly unpredictable, making it nearly impossible to anticipate the exam pattern.
