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.
Courtesy: Mr. Brijesh D.Patel from SPIPA, Ahmedabad for providing the question papers.

For counter current see ncert 12th …. it’s accumulation of water due to two equatorial currents .
Friends, this post by Mrunal Sir is going to achieve 1000 comments, what should we do , enjoy this moment, or ponder that why sir is not uploading new post for mains preparation?????????
We need ppl like u to boost confidence…
Thnx Bhai …. For +2.66 in my score……
In such format of exam even .33 marks could bring u a disaster
I advise all to visit unacademy channel on YouTube.Roman saini (air-18) explained in detail in 4 videos all questions of gs paper 1.
Close to the Equator itself is an eastward-flowing current, the Equatorial Counter Current. This exists because the Trade Winds drive water to the western Pacific, where it is blocked by land masses. Sea surface rises westward (due to the wind stress), so in the area of light winds near the Equator (The Doldrums), water is able to flow back eastwards.
so answer for equatorial counter current is D.
Yupppp u sud b clear.. Ready for mains..gud luck

Which one of the following is correct ?
(a) Only conclusion I is valid
(b) Only conclusion II is valid
(c) Both the conclusion are valid

what should be the correct answer of it ……
how many marks for each question in UPSC prelims GS paper?

I am amazed at the rapid pace with which the counter of comments is increasing and could not control my anguish by such childish behavior by you friends.
You have to prepare for mains sooner or later, so Finish mains preparation by December even if some of you could not clear pre.This will not only help you on focussing in prelim better(next year without worrying about optional) and increase probability of your success.

ans to westerlies question would be both 1 nd 2 coz they are knwn as Furious Fifties ,Screaming Sixties etc in southern hemisphere nd to “eastward flow of eq. counter current” would be convergence as there is no coriolis force at eq. to deflect them.

How to prepare a paper no 2
HEY MRUNAL! where the hell are you brother?
Dear Aspirant
Do what your inner soul suggesting you.Take a pause and think a while about your actual passion(i mean not pseudo passion guided by external environment).If you are getting answer that I this is the thing I will enjoy most in life then nobody can stop you ( even parents)as this passion itself carries a great force.No need to confront with parents, relatives as it will create negative energy surrounding your mind and further frustration.Let them speak any thing just give them smile and train mind to focus on goal.Keep your mental environment positive by adding quality people, friends.Lastly don’t think about results just ensure study satisfied you or not.One year is to go ample time is there streamline preparation. What maximum will happen if you fail? Does anybody will take your life? No na….just blind eye to them who are intruders and give them god blessings. ..best luck
Appreciable!!!
There are 3 or 4 questions very confusing, and coaching institutes are giving different answers.
WHICH ARE THEY?
