  • vennela krishna

    baba how to get last 34 years mains question papers

    • vv

      umm that would be utterly useless, given how the pattern has changed completely.

      • Siddhartha_Bangalore

        yess from 2013 the pattern got changed !!!

    • Siddhartha_Bangalore

      Do not seek last 30+yrs Question paper it’s outdated … . UPSC sets the paper based on current facts & norms . The hint to crack mains is just go through last 12 months of Yojana / PIB/Kiurushetra/ Science reporter magazines……. that’s more than enough… parallely compare the same to the previous ( last 3 yrs) question papers .. You will find the trick of UPSC how they set the paper ….. . Check it out !!!!

        • Mayur Nawal

          Any coaching’s study material is not crosschecked properly and many times give incorrect information. Its better to read from conventional books and refer coaching materials question book if required for practicing problems.
