Collaborate, Compete and Conquer the Civil Services Prelims-2025 with ForumIAS

Please share the pdf  of the question paper pdf at the beginning of the exam for online students , so that a printout can be taken. It is very difficult to solve the questions directly in the portal, especially when multiple statements are there. I really have a hard time thinking without underlining the words. 

If this feature is there to ensure timeliness or to prevent cheating, I doubt if it is very effective, as those who want to give the paper honestly will give it honestly and those who don't want to will find the means.

Also for some reason my portal opened with 17 min gone, picture is attached

@farejul 1)Sir yes I did but the exam started at from 1 hr 43 min.

2)Also if the pdf is shared before the test starts then I can take a printout and solve on it. Solving directly on the portal without pen and paper is difficult as I cannot highlight or underline keywords necessary. Hard to keep track especially in multiple statements questions with multiple lines.

@HarveySpecter Yes sir again there is no question paper pdf. Solving in the portal directly, hurts accuracy.
