📜 SYLLABUS — Your Only Boundary
Nothing outside these two files is worth studying. Everything in this repo maps back to them.
| File | Covers |
|---|---|
01-Prelims-Syllabus.md |
GS Paper I (100Q/200 marks) + CSAT Paper II (80Q/200, qualifying at 33%) |
02-Mains-Syllabus.md |
Papers A & B (qualifying) + Essay + GS-I to GS-IV + Optional structure |
How to use
- Print both. Keep them in front of you.
- Each file is written as a tickable micro-topic checklist. Tick a topic only when you have (a) read it, (b) noted it, and (c) solved its PYQs.
- Re-print for each revision cycle — three fresh copies over the campaign.
- For Mains, convert every syllabus line into 2–3 probable questions and write skeleton answers.
⚠️ Verify against the current notification at upsc.gov.in. Syllabi are occasionally revised.
