What is the syllabus of UPSC Mains and What are the 9 papers in UPSC Mains?

 This is because only the candidates that are able to successfully clear Phase 1, or the Prelims, are allowed to appear for the Phase 2 or Mains exam. In other words, only the candidates that are able to score above the UPSC cut-offs for the Prelims are then allowed to take the Mains exam.



The Mains exam, fundamentally, is designed to test your understanding of the various subjects falling under the purview of the UPSC 2022 Mains syllabus, and it is designed to make you do so in a time-bound fashion.


An important thing to note is that all the papers except for the 2 language papers included in the UPSC Mains syllabus can be written in any of the languages mentioned in Schedule 8 of the Indian Constitution.


The 9 papers of UPSC Mains Exam consists of:


1 Language Paper of your choice
1 English Language Paper
1 Essay Paper
4 General Studies Papers
2 Optional Subject Papers

How to Optimally Utilize Suggested UPSC Books

  It should be noted that the UPSC Syllabus is vast, and therefore, it takes a minimum duration of at least a year to read through comprehensively. Thus, make sure that you do not waste precious time reading from books that are not up to the mark or are below standard. By below standard, I mean books that might contain unauthenticated or incorrect information. Make sure to take notes while reading from the IAS books that I have listed for you above. There are some excellent IAS books for preparation like Laxmikanth, & the NCERTs. Books such as these are tailor-made for the UPSC exams.
