Before you download the previous years question papers of Assistant Provident Fund Commissioner’s Exam (APFC), read this:
Mr. CSL80:
He’s a veteran member of Pagalguy forum. Most of the information on internet regarding previous years’ question papers and Cutoffs of APFC etc- is actually contributed by him on that forum. And he is the gentleman who sent me these papers via email.
Blog Farmers
- Just another type of spammers. These people will setup multiple blogs with similar names but won’t even write a single word on their own. They’d just copy paste the information posted by Mr.CSL80 on pagalguy.
- Their objective is to gain presence on google search engine, so if any aspirant is searching for any keywords containing “APFC”, the chances of him landing on their blog/site increases. And then they’d setup ads like “buy our readymade (substandard quality) APFC/RBI offiers’ exam study material for 12,000 rupees/-“ or “subscribe to our site for free to get free updates on current affairs” – but again all you get in email is their spammy articles containing ads of that study-material.
- Well everyone has to feed his family, But this is an unethical practice which I totally loath and despise.
- APFC and RBI Officers’ etc. exams are not prime subjects of my site (www.mrunal.org). but I write about them to prevent those blog farmers from creating a monopoly on google search engine to rob the innocent aspirants from small towns in broad day light.
In the end however, as long as there is desperation and uncertainity [which is common with any competitive exam in India], there will be people trying to make easy bucks out of it.

both the papers are purely general studies oriented…hardly there are any topics covered from insurance, industrial relations and labour laws and accounting and auditing….dont know wat syllabus was notified at that time viz 2002 n 2004…ancient medieval and modern history is also covered vastly…papers are a bit irrelevant to this years notification which definitely creates a dilemma in candidates mind while preparing because if insurance. industrial relations n labour laws and accounting n auditing are asked more then there is less scope for people who are new to those topics….put some opinion mrunal?
Yep, these papers are from the pre-2010 era when even UPSC’s Civil service exam (CSE) used to have truckload of questions from History and trivial current affairs just like the APFC papers given above.
But UPSC has changed the trend for CSE in last two years, and I believe APFC, too would be on similar lines. The given APFC papers should help predicting and preparing mostly the the English language (part A) and Aptitude. – And in Aptitude, more emphasis should be given to Verbal Aptitude and Logical reasoning.

Dear Mrunal Sir,

Can you please provide any email id or phone numbers to contact and clarify the issue. I have already started my studies and dont want to face any mishap at the last moment.
All of my friends here are advised to check their accounts in UPSC Online portal to get confirmed that their form is properly submitted or not.
Thanking you

Thanks a lot Mrunal!!
Where can I get the answers for APFC paper 2004.
I suggest you try to solve them manually from books suggested in my earlier article.
Besides, many questions are based on the current affairs of 2004’s era, so you may not get answers in books and there is no point of solving them either.
So, Better just solve History, Polity, Science, Geography, English and Aptitude from these papers.
Thanks a lot Mrunal!!

mrunal how is 120 questions for 100 marks justified when question paper says all questions carry equal marks?
Thank u sir given ur valuable suggestions
Sir,
I’d like to know whether the APFC submitted application is supposed to show up under the ‘My Active Applications’ tab on the UPSC website after you log in. I just logged in today and there’s nothing on it to show that I have applied for the APFC examination. Also after paying the fee for the same there was no acknowledgement that was sent.
This is jittery and any clarification from anyone would be really helpful.
Thank you.
Gautam
