Analysis of Prelims Paper 1 GS
1. Dominant Subjects:
The examination prominently featured over 40 questions from Economics, Environment, and Polity, while Science & Technology accounted for more than 10 questions. This aligns with the predicted trend of significant emphasis on these areas.
2. CSAT Difficulty:
The CSAT section was relatively easy compared to previous years, suggesting that the cutoff is likely to rise above 90.
3. Comparative Difficulty:
This year's paper was notably easier than last year's. Many questions were based on fundamental knowledge, and even those related to current affairs were not arbitrary. Key current events covered included:
- Red Sea (Yemen Houthi blockade)
- North Sea (UK drilling)
- Cheetah deaths in India
- Sahel region military coups
- Ethics committee (Mahua Moitra case)
- Delimitation concerns of southern states
- North Eastern Council (Manipur violence)
- Constitution-related issues (Congress claims about BJP)
- UNESCO Heritage list (new entries from India)
- EU carbon neutrality
- Speaker of the House
- Venezuela
- 5th generation fighter aircraft (Tejas in the news)
4. Importance of Basic Static Sources:
Fundamental static sources proved invaluable. Most current affairs-based questions could be addressed using PT 365-type current affairs magazines.
5. Value of Previous Year Questions (PYQs):
Analyzing PYQs can help answer approximately 10 additional questions. Relevant topics included:
- Congo Basin
- Buddha
- Permanent Settlement
- Speaker of the House
- Parliament
- Vijayanagara
- Constituent Assembly
- UNESCO Heritage Sites
- Money Bill
- Article 368
- Eighth Schedule
- Swatantrata Party
- Right to Privacy
- Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)
- Wildlife Protection Act 1972
6. Geography Focus:
Geography questions centered on frequently emphasized topics such as Indian rivers, atmosphere and climate, mountains, and monsoons. Notably, geomorphology was scarcely covered.
7. Economics:
Questions in economics tested basic concepts, including capital, the primary sector, RBI powers, the money market, the capital market, CSR, bonds and securities, and NBFCs.
8. Polity:
Polity questions targeted consistently discussed topics: parliament, constitution features, amendments, governor, judiciary, and Fundamental Rights (FR).
9. Government Schemes:
Questions on government schemes remained as unpredictable as ever.
10. Science & Technology:
S&T questions were straightforward and could be easily solved using current affairs knowledge.
