सवाल

Is CSAT only qualifying?

Yes. In UPSC prelims, Paper II (CSAT) is qualifying at 33%, but many candidates fail it, so regular practice is important.

I am from an arts background. Can I clear CSAT?

Yes. The maths is class 10 level; we teach short methods step by step with daily practice.

Is there negative marking?

Yes. In UPSC prelims one-third of the marks of a question are deducted for a wrong answer.

How is practice given?

Every chapter has a test, and full-length CSAT mock papers are timed like the real exam.
