How we use PYPs

• Read the Prelims pattern (150 questions, 150 marks, 2½ hours, no negative marking) from the live notification on tgpsc.gov.in.
• Practise questions from the 2022 and 2023 Prelims and original MCQs that follow the paper's unit mix, with an explanation for every wrong answer.
• Use the shared Telangana GS hubs (schemes, culture, geography) and daily current affairs, which carry about a third of the paper.
• Free daily 20 keeps momentum; the Group 1 mock gives you a 150-question timed Prelims run.
