Uttar Pradesh Previous Year GK Questions

Previous-year questions show what the two commissions actually ask, which the broad syllabus in a notice cannot. UPPSC publishes the question papers of the Combined State/Upper Subordinate Services Examination on its website, and reading them shows how much weight goes to Uttar Pradesh, how often a question pairs a current event with a static fact, and how the Commission frames statement-based questions. Topics repeat: rivers and national parks, constitutional bodies, freedom fighters, schemes and the economy come back with new options. For PET, past papers show how the Hindi passages, graphs and tables are set, which together carry 30 marks. This page is where GK24 places previous-year questions for Uttar Pradesh exams as they are checked against the official papers, each in English and Hindi with the correct answer, an explanation and the topic it belongs to, so that a question leads to the GK note that covers it. Solve them in three passes: untimed to learn, timed to build speed, and again a few weeks later on the ones you got wrong. Pair them with the daily current affairs and quizzes on this site.
