OpenQuestions?
Are these real UPSC questions?
Yes. Every question is taken word for word from the English version of the UPSC CSE Mains General Studies papers of 2022 to 2026, as published on upsc.gov.in. The sources are linked on this page.
How are the pages decided?
Two pages for every 10 marks: 2 pages for a 10-marker, 3 for a 15-marker and 4 for a 20-mark case study.
Can a question repeat in the same paper?
No. Each question is used once per paper. Swap gives you another question of the same marks.
How is GS IV built?
Questions 1 to 6 each come from the same question number of the years you chose, so the paper keeps the shape of a real GS IV paper. Questions 7 to 12 are six case studies.
