The UPSC General Studies papers cover a wide range of disciplines including History, Geography, Polity, Economics, Environment, and International Relations. These papers are designed to evaluate candidates' knowledge of Indian society and global developments. Each discipline requires a comprehensive understanding of concepts, timelines, and analytical skills to evaluate policies and their implications. Mastery in these areas is critical, as the questions delve into both theoretical underpinnings and practical applications relevant to governance and social issues.
