Year 2011 GS Prelims Paper
- Lot of Questions could be answered by reading the basic material with a questioning mind.
- Newspaper reading wherever questioned required a very deep and conceptual understanding of the topic.
- Questions from World Politics and India's Foreign relations were also seen which were previously absent.
- Unpredictability is the beauty of UPSC Exam. Therefore the best strategy is to cover all sections of General Studies effectively.
Keep in Mind: There is no shortcut to success.
All this points to the fact that a comprehensive preparation of Prelims and Mains is needed before the Prelims paper. One cannot neglect the traditional portion, but even the traditional portion has to be read with a questioning mind.
