Q: What benefit will I derive from solving the previous year’s question papers?
A: If you sincerely solve at least the last 5-10 years of papers you will get to know about exam patterns, important topics which you need to cover as well as questions that are most asked every year. This information will give you a general direction of preparation and where to put in your efforts for the best outcome.
Q: How much time is needed to clear the CDS exam?
