Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Mains 2026 Current Affairs Test Series?

It is a set of full-length UPSC Mains GS-II and GS-III mock tests (250 marks, 3 hours each) where every question forces you to connect the past year of current affairs to a static GS syllabus concept. Each answer is graded on content, analytical depth, structure, and a dedicated current-affairs linkage dimension, with a model answer and marking rubric provided.

How much does the Mains 2026 test series cost?

The first 2 questions — including the ongoing Israel-Iran–US conflict question and the SIR (electoral-rolls) question — are free to attempt and get AI-evaluated. Unlocking the rest of GS-II and all of GS-III is a one-time payment of ₹199 — there is no subscription.

Which GS papers does it cover?

GS Paper II (Governance, Constitution, Polity, Social Justice and International Relations) and GS Paper III (Economy, Environment, Science & Technology, and Security).

How is the current-affairs linkage scored?

A sixth evaluation dimension specifically measures whether your answer connects relevant, named current developments to the static syllabus concept and uses them as evidence — rather than merely mentioning a buzzword.
