What the UPPCS test series includes
10 full-length mock tests
Each test is a complete GS Paper 1 simulation with 150 questions in 2 hours. Questions follow the subject weightage of recent papers and use only the 2025 formats. Every answer comes with an explanation of why each option is right or wrong, and facts are verified against official sources.
7 revision booklets
Organised by theme rather than chapter: Polity and Governance, Indian Economy, History, Art and Culture, Geography, Environment and Ecology, Science and Technology, Uttar Pradesh special. Booklets are released ahead of the tests that rely on them; Polity is available on enrolment.
3 live strategy sessions
Zoom sessions with the mentor on planning the final weeks, learning from test mistakes, elimination in coded questions, and the last week before the exam.
How each booklet theme is structured
The Polity booklet is complete with 34 themes. Every theme in every booklet follows the same six-part structure:
| Past questions | How UPPCS tested the theme in 2023, 2024, 2025 and earlier years |
|---|---|
| Fact tables | The related facts most likely to be used in the next question |
| Topic in News | 2025-26 developments linked to the theme |
| Common traps | The single detail examiners alter to make a statement false |
| Practice | Three questions in the 2025 format with explanations |
| Notes | Space to record your own mistakes and weak points |
Constitutional facts are verified against the official text of the Constitution of India; other facts against Government, Parliament and court records. Each booklet goes through a second, independent fact-check before release.
UPPCS Prelims exam pattern: what changed in 2025
UPPCS Prelims GS Paper 1 has 150 questions to be answered in 2 hours. Until 2023 a large share were direct, one-line questions. In 2025 every question used a coded format: multiple statements, match the following, chronological order, or Assertion-Reason.
Questions also became longer, which makes reading speed and option elimination as important as recall. The tests in this series use only these 2025 formats, so practice matches what you will face on exam day.
Based on an Aspirants Hub analysis of all 450 questions from the 2023, 2024 and 2025 UPPCS Prelims GS Paper 1, and of UPPCS Prelims papers from 1990 to 2025.
