*IMP: UPSC Civils Services Prelims 2019 Paper 1 – Questions (pdf format)

*UPDATE 1 – We are compiling the solutions. Out of the 50 questions that we’ve gone through, 30 were very close to what we had asked in our Test Series and approximately 45 were from the same theme. We will present this in our upcoming post so you can judge for yourself.


 

Dear students,

The paper for the exam held just now is out. Please check it out. The answers marked are of the candidate and they are not the correct answer.

We will be publishing the key + controversial questions along with expected cut-offs soon. Last year our cutoff predictions were the closest among competitors.

Please pen down the questions you found controversial, general feelings about the paper and how you have handled it.

UPSC CSE 2019 Paper 1

 


 

Previous year cutoffs are as follows. Last year our cutoff was very accurately predicted by us to be between 93-98. We plan to provide a 3-digit range this time.

I applied for cse after 2017 prelims. this time also the paper is very Vague like last year! Too much importance given to Environment & Related acts and less conventional areas. standard books and Current affairs compilation has a low role to play in this prelims.
introspect your strategy and preparation style for next year if you’re targetting 2020. Try to start with mains preparation. Complete mains syllabus and revise at least 3 to 5 before your prelims. All the best.
paper 1 GS analysis and a way forward..
