What is a reliable source for covering old old PYQs? The official answer keys are available up to 2013/14 on the UPSC website i think. If older ones are available online from an official/reliablr source please lmk. Or any publication which has a collection of the actual official answer keys (and not their own estimations of what the answer would be) for 25-30 years (or more if possible and needed)?Afaik there was no official answer key concept before 2011-13.
I've referred to La excellence pyq compilation for the answers, they also provide detailed solution for each question thus their answers holds some credibility.
I see. Thank you! I will refer to that. I'm a bit taken aback by the fact that they didn't even have official answer keys back then, but considering how UPSC operates even now, that checks out.
**see if the links work!
I marked the official answers in the question paper pdf sometime back. Referring that straightaway should suffice.

You won't find official keys before 2011 on the internet IMO. Google the disputed/doubtful questions and read related things on the internet.
That's what I was planning to do as well :) I thought I'd read up on all the options/statements provided, regardless of what the answer is, in any case. It'll take a lot more time but I think it might be worth it 🤷♂️
