IAS Mains 2014 GS-3 Paper Analysis and Review
The General Studies-3 Paper of 2014 was a big surprise for the aspirant community as UPSC reduced the total number of questions, thereby increasing the individual weightage of each question. This came as both good and bad thing, as it gave an opportunity to secure more marks from each question, but at the same time, it also implied that a blunder in any question would be more dangerous.
Nevertheless, here is a component wise analysis of the paper:
Topic | Questions | Marks |
Economy and related issues | 9 | 112.5 |
Inclusive Growth | 1 | 12.5 |
Science and Tech | 1 | 12.5 |
Legal Issues (IPR, Airspace) | 2 | 25 |
Environment | 2 | 25 |
Disaster Management | 1 | 12.5 |
Security | 4 | 50 |
