The Essay Paper is the 1st paper of the UPSC Civil Services Mains Examination 2025. It has officially begun on 22nd August 2025. This paper is a decisive factor in determining ranks, carrying 250 marks.
Candidates must write two essays – one from each section – each worth 125 marks.
Year-on-year, the complexity of the papers has been increasing. You no longer have questions on women empowerment, education – all those predictable topics. Philosophical and Abstract Topics are becoming more common and require a radical approach rather than memorizing the frameworks.
