UPSC Prelims Syllabus 2022

Starting with the UPSC Prelims syllabus, it should come as no surprise that the syllabus is quite extensive in and of itself.

The UPSC Prelims examination, on the other hand, is mostly used for screening purposes.

As a result, if you pass the Prelims exam, you will be qualified to take the Mains exam.

Furthermore, if you advance to the interview stage, your Prelims results will not be taken into account when determining your final order of merit.

The UPSC prelims examination consists of two papers: a general studies paper and a CSAT (Civil Services Aptitude Test) paper.
