UPSC had conducted Civil service and Forest service (combined) preliminary exam aka CSAT-2015, on 23th August 2014. Here are the scanned copies of Booklet no.”B” for both paper 1 (GS) and Paper 2 (Aptitude):
Detailed Analysis and Topicwise Answerkeys with explanations (for all sets), coming soon.
- You’re most welcome to provide your inputs, answers, observation, analysis and experience in the comments below.
- If you want to discuss then discuss MCQs, (and not cut-offs.) Everyone who had prepared sincerely, and did not risk too much negative marking, he/she has a fair chance of clearing prelims.
- Internet user sample size too short to make any predictions. So don’t lose blood pressure, if Mr.X, Y or Z says he ticked more MCQs than you.
