Rajyaseva Prelims — Paper 1 (General Studies)

400 marks total across two papers. GS Paper 1 marks count toward shortlisting for Mains.

Current Affairs — national and international eventsPractice →History — India, and the freedom movementPractice →Geography — physical, social, and economic — of India, Maharashtra, and the worldPractice →Polity — Indian Constitution, governance, public administrationPractice →Economy — Indian economy and planningPractice →Environment — ecology, biodiversity, climate changePractice →Science & TechnologyPractice →

Rajyaseva Prelims — Paper 2 (CSAT)

Qualifying in nature — you need roughly a third of the marks to clear it, but it isn't used to rank you.

Aptitude — reasoning, data interpretation, decision making, quantitative abilityPractice →English Language — comprehensionPractice →Marathi Language — comprehensionPractice →

MPSC Combined (PSI / STI / ASO) — Prelims

One shared Prelims paper for all three posts, covering broadly the same ground as Rajyaseva's GS Paper 1 plus aptitude — practice the same subject areas above. Mains then splits into a common paper and a post-specific paper for PSI, STI, and ASO separately.

Mains — General Studies Areas

Mains goes deeper on the same subjects, in descriptive rather than MCQ form — practicing the underlying concept still helps, even though our practice mode itself is MCQ-based. See the note on the current Mains pattern transition →

History — with a Maharashtra-specific focusPractice →Polity — constitutional provisions, public administration, state policyPractice →Geography — regional and human geographyPractice →Economy — planning, development economics, agriculturePractice →Science & TechnologyPractice →
