Step 1 for Prelims 2013

Since KAS prelims for 2015 is expected , Have to start our preparation and i felt it should be started with Analyzing the Previous Question paper .

Prelims 2011-2012 Question paper Analysis:

  • Paper 1 had 100 Questions and
  • Paper 2 100 Questions
Paper 1:
  • 40 Questions were from Current Affairs 
  • History around 14 Questions
  • Geography 17 Questions
  • Polity 15 questions
  • Economy 10 Questions
  • Socio-Economic Development around 4 to 5 questions
  • General Science some questions which were current affairs based i guess
Current affairs Included
  • Various Summits or Conferences in world or Indian platform Eg: Literature fest or Energy summit
  • Environment Based questions like National parks etc any chemicals in news for some reason related to environment Animal reserves like tiger etc

Paper 2:

Most of the Questions were from Economic survey and rest of the questions included Socio-Economic indicators like IMR or Census data and various schemes by Karnataka Govt
Simple reasoning questions like Venn diagram based graphical representation and passage reading and answering from the same. 

Note:
  • One can not Expect the same pattern of questions this year also, but the basic structure may not change, i.e one should not ignore the basic subjects like History geography polity economy, though questions asked may be less but cant take the chance.
  • Current affairs should be given importance specially the Socio economic concepts. Hence Make notes from news paper without fail.
