On GS-1-2026 Paper History: 6 questions, overall easy to moderate. The Planned Economy question is relatively tougher compared to the other five. 1 question from Ancient History/Art & Culture 1 from Medieval Architecture 2 from Modern History 2 from Post-Independence Geography: 8 questions, overall moderate to tough. The Fujiwhara Effect was a clear bouncer. It is not covered in NCERTs and, despite being in current affairs, was not prominently covered in most standard materials. The remaining Geography questions will also be challenging, especially for non-Geography Optional students, when it comes to producing quality content. Society: 6 questions, relatively easier compared to previous years. Most questions are direct extensions of the syllabus and require comparatively less applied thinking.
