    Multiple Choice Questions (MCQs)

    The UPSC (Union Public Service Commission) Prelims exam is the first step in the selection process for the Indian Administrative Service (IAS), Indian Foreign Service (IFS), and Indian Police Service (IPS) among other civil services in India. The exam consists of two papers: General Studies Paper 1 and General Studies Paper 2 (also known as the Civil Services Aptitude Test or CSAT). The General Studies Paper 1 is worth 200 marks and is comprised of multiple choice questions (MCQs). The exam tests the candidate's knowledge of current events, Indian and World history, Indian and World geography, Indian polity and governance, economic and social development, general science and environmental ecology and biodiversity.
