UPSC Prelims GS Foundation

Build your next skill.

A foundation course for General Studies Paper I of the UPSC Civil Services Preliminary Examination. It builds the stable base of the paper with short lessons, worked examples and quick checks. What you will cover: • History and culture: ancient, medieval and modern India, art and heritage • Geography: landforms, climate, Indian rivers, monsoon, soils, agriculture and resources • Indian polity: making of the Constitution, rights, Parliament, judiciary, federalism and local government • Indian economy: GDP, inflation, money and banking, the budget, taxes and sectors • Environment and general science: ecosystems, biodiversity, climate conventions, physics, chemistry, life science and technology Pattern note: the official UPSC notice for the Civil Services Preliminary Examination 2026 lists two compulsory objective papers of 200 marks each, two hours each, with General Studies Paper II qualifying at 33 per cent and a penalty of one third of the marks for each wrong answer. The pattern can change, so always read the notice of the year in which you apply. This course states no dates, vacancies or cut-offs. Each of the 5 chapters has a practice test that draws 10 fresh questions per attempt from a tagged bank of 20, with unlimited retakes.
