@TheNotorious Do these compilations also include questions from the 2020 exam?

@necromancer The ones I have got have 2019 questions in them. I am not sure if they have\had come with updated ones including 2020 paper or not.

@TheNotorious These were released in November 2020 right? I just downloaded these from their TG channel and I guess they’re the latest ones

@necromancer I checked their TG channel as well, they circulated the 2020 PYQs pdfs on 26 November. But by going through the geography pyq pdf, I cannot exactly say if they have included the 2020 questions or not because they haven’t mentioned the year in which the questions were asked. The very first question of this 2020 pdf and the pdf I have is same only I.e. on Summer Solstice.

Another thing, the geo pyq pdf that I have has 198 pages in total excluding the cover page which the 26 November one has. So I guess, the pdf you downloaded and the pdf that I have, are same only and that no updation has been done. I am also not sure when I downloaded the ones I have right now but I was having them before oct 4 because I was reading for PRE from them only.

P.S. I, by mistake, deleted the earlier reply. Excuse me please.

@TheNotorious Did you cross-check their answer keys with the UPSC official key? Do they match for the few debatable questions asked every year?

@TheNotorious no issues man. I think they just recirculated the PDFs from before the prelims. I also believe they use the official answer key so maybe they update their files after UPSC releases the official key.

@Steph_Curry I did just now.

For most of such debatable questions, the answers given are similar to that of the official keys. As #necromancer said that they might be updating their pdfs post the release of the official key but there was one question in 2018 PRE about shrinking/drying of certain water bodies including Aral Sea. La excellence solution states D as answer, while the official key states A is the right answer.

Guess will have to read the pdfs more carefully.

If anybody is looking for PYQs at one place, you can check NeoIAS website. They have compiled themewise last 10 years(2011-20) PYQs for both Prelims and Mains.

@12432TrivendrumRajdhani thanks for the recommendation bro. Yes, Minister is just too good. I am down 6 episodes and totally into it. Some of the dialogues are truly next level. For instance, when talking about improving civil services reputation, a civil servant says they should run a campaign saying Red tape binds the Nation! :P :D

If the new dates for the exam are pushed too far away, I will surely ask you and others to give me an exhaustive watchlist!
