4. If you're an outstation candidate, see where the exam centre is, make make travel arrangements in advance.

Sab accha hoga. Positive reaffirmations karo. Trust your brain, and it's will reward you.

The one who stays calm now, will win. ❤️

No questions from Physical Geography. 😅
Ethics qns asked in Prelims.
Heavy on History, and Mapping. Even IR got a big budget this prelims.

We will discuss this in depth later. Let's give space to the 2026 kids for their CSAT session. :)

I wouldn't say none from phy geo, but just 2-3 phy geo qns. Where it used to be about 10ish.

UPSC dumped Climatology as it's favourite. Now mapping is it's best fraand. 🤣

Physical Geography be like: Samay badalte der nahi lagti dost. Ye waqt bhi guzar jayega (while it looks at 23rd May 2027 with a glimmer of hope). 😂

Jokes apart, if any 2026 baccha is reading this, paper jaisa bhi ho, sabke liye equally tough/easy hoga. And cut off is determined by the performance of everyone. There is no minimum marks criteria to get through.

But CSAT has that criteria, so please focus on Paper 2 now. ♥️

11qns from Geography. 3partly Physical Geography. 1 human geo, rest mapping.

Phy Geography qns are easy. Mangroves and Peninsular Plateau parts covered in classes/NCERT series. Andaman and Nicobar qn was super easy; a rarity in this paper.

Human geo: REE repeated theme. Covered in classes, Active Recall sessions, and the word doc shared on Minerals.

Entire mapping except the river qn, and state boundaries, is Current Affairs based.
We had covered Turkana, Madhav NP, Hormuz. The Bridges qn was IR based. Had not covered the Ecuador Volcano.

No need for us to share the answer key now, as UPSC Will do that after CSAT.
Will share the explanation video soon. ❤️

GS1 mein Ethics. CSAT mein Communication! UPSC is playing a game jiske rules they forgot to tell the players! 😅

What a tedious paper!

I was planning a Mains answer writing session for geography from tomorrow. But I am not getting a very positive response. So here is a vote whether you want it from tomorrow or week after. :)

The masses have spoken! 1st "Mondays for Mains" session starts 1st June 2026! Us se jyada delay nahi hoga. DO NOT avoid Answer Writing! 🙊
