Aspirants should prioritise General Studies and CSAT (Aptitude) as they carry the highest question counts and shares in the dataset. Given the high volume of questions found in previous years' papers such as PYQ 2024, PYQ 2023, PYQ 2023 CSAT, PYQ 2022 GS, and PYQ 2022 CSAT, candidates should make solving past year question papers a central part of their preparation. Specific focus should also be directed toward recurring topics like Quant/Reasoning and Reading Comprehension, which feature prominently in the question distribution. Finally, core subjects such as Polity, Quantitative Aptitude, Logical Reasoning, Economy, and History should be covered systematically according to their respective shares.
