UPSC PYQ weightage gives you a practical result before the explanation. Enter the inputs in the tool above, read the result, and use the next action to improve one preparation decision.
The form is free, requires no account, and keeps personal entries in your browser unless the page explicitly says it is reading the published Anantam IAS question bank.
How this tool works
The explorer reads published MCQs tagged with a year and subject in the Anantam IAS question bank. It groups the selected years, normalizes a few equivalent subject labels and calculates each subject share within the filtered result.
What the result does not mean
The dataset grows as questions are published and tagged. Counts describe this question bank, not every question ever asked and not the likely composition of a future paper.
Source and verification
Source: the Anantam IAS topic-wise UPSC Prelims PYQ bank. Dataset date is displayed by the live endpoint.
Frequently asked questions
Does high past weightage guarantee more questions next year?
No. PYQ weightage helps diagnose repeated areas and syllabus breadth, but it is not a forecast.
Why can counts change?
The explorer uses the currently published and tagged question bank. New questions and taxonomy corrections can change totals.
Can I download the filtered data?
Yes. After the data loads, use Download CSV to export the selected rows.
