Note:-
In the above analysis there was may be a  small difference between  numbers  polity and Economy  because of there interlinking between those subjects.


In the above table  we see that the UPSC  had  made no big changes in weightage  of Topics

Mainly the upsc had focus on Environment & Biodiversity  23 % of the marks are covered only on these topic since the introduction of CSAT paper  till now.

The nature of the Question of this topic will be medium level of the understanding  capacity of candidate



2.Geography

The trend is changed by upsc from 2011 the nature of the question is little bit high.



3.polity & Economy

According to my opinion polity & Economy was the gateway to enter in civil service mains

Everybody can score in these two subjects when compared to Env & Bio , Sci & tec ,Geography,

The nature of Question is easy for those who study the basic economics and polity

with the basic knowledge the candidate can go for

-Indian yearbook
-Indian Economic survey

4.History & culture

   The nature of this topic is to under stand the society and history of India and culture
    mainly on
Modern History:
  Indian freedom struggle


5.Science

The nature of this topic is little high  but  not so hard.Everybody can score on this topic including non-maths students if they have knowledge in basic science with contemporary changes in today's fast growing science.

There is incredible changes in science, technology,medicine,biology etc,... since 20th century

Everyone can update there knowledge in these fields.. ..
