UPSC CSE Prelims is the most brutal and unpredictable phase of the entire UPSC journey. Every year, lakhs of aspirants fail at this very first stage — not because they didn’t work hard, but because they didn’t study exam-oriented.
They complete books, attend classes, pull all-nighters, yet miss the cut-off — simply because they fail to decode the examiner’s mindset and understand what UPSC actually wants.
To bridge this gap, we bring to you Margdarshan Prelims PYQs Astra – Microtheme Compilation (2010–2025), an evidence-based toolkit designed to train your mind to think like the examiner.
The compilation is divided into three structured levels:
* Level 1: Year-wise, Subject-wise, and Topic-wise segregation of all PYQs (2010–2025) with correct answers and explanations.
* Level 2: Deep-dive into Microthemes — conceptual focus, analytical insight, and decoding of the examiner’s intent behind every question.
* Level 3: Year-wise and subject-wise breakdown of incorrect statements, along with expected dimensions and predicted areas for the upcoming Prelims.
In addition, you’ll get a Supplementary PDF containing a ready-made list of all Microthemes (2010–2025) across subjects — a complete reference to make your note-making, revision, and test preparation seamless and targeted.
You can easily download and print the Prelims Microtheme eBook for offline use.
After completing all three levels, you’ll not only understand what UPSC asks but also why it asks it.
You’ll master the art of exam-oriented reading, studying, and revision — the real key to cracking UPSC Prelims.
All the best, future officers!
