I have the last 3 year question paper with me..20 questions come in total..you have to attempt 5..20 marks each..Syllabus more or less like GS..economics, political science, current affairs important, geography and science not important..would appreciate if any veteran can share her/his views..
@breakingbad If you take longer look at the question papers of the past three years then you can discern a certain pattern. And questions usually come in accordance to that particular pattern only. And i'm not a veteran though.

Also, can you suggest any specific area I should focus on?

@sinha47 I'm banking on my ongoing two-month long civils-GS preparation for this exam..the thing is, I don't know what sort of answers will they be looking for since most of the questions are static in nature, with hardly any change in pattern for over a decade. So, it will be a piece of cake for serious IAS aspirants who can blast off the paper with answer full of facts and analysis...The most value addition I (think and will try to) can do at my end is to sprinkle some stuff from current events and try to make a connection..Would it help being a leftist?
@breakingbad depends who will check your paper... most of them are leftist but it doesnt matter much... if you add views of political thinkers then it will be better. do some writing practice, it will help for sure
