- 1, 3 or 5 questions at a time.
- A clock at UPSC’s pace, about 7 minutes for a 10-marker, or none.
- Sets you started wait for you under “Carry on”.
The Desk
The paper as UPSCprinted it, in Hindi too.
Every question sits on the left as UPSC set it, in English or Hindi. For each one, type in a lined box with a word count, write it on paper and photograph it when you hand in, or leave it.
- Saved as you go, so you can leave and come back.
- At time up the clock stops; you can still finish and hand in.
- Hand in once: typed and handwritten answers together.
Whole papers
Write a wholepast paper.
Every GS paper from 2013, as it was set: three hours on the clock, or longer, or none. Each answer is marked against its own question, and the papers you have started show where you left off.
- GS I to GS IV, 2013 to now.
- 3 hours, 3 hours 45 minutes, or no clock.
