We at Disha, continuously, analyse the past papers so as to understand the Examiner’s mind- What exactly he wants the aspirants to assess on. Based on this unique experience we now launch our most important title, “IAS PRELIMS PAPER 1 GENERAL STUDIES 30 DAYS REVISION MATERIAL” We have gone through and analysed recent past papers Prelim paper-1 and observed that 20% to 40% questions are framed in different segments/subjects from Current Affairs broadly since January of previous year to March exam year.

Schemes/Yojanas, Policies/Plans, Missions/Abhiyans, Projects, Summits/ Conferences, Agreements/Accords, Committees, Organisations/Index-Ranking, Phenomena, Symposium, Ratification of treaties, India’s engagements abroad, etc. The Previous Questions reflected in national newspapers are from1.
