UPSC Mains GS Paper 4 Previous Year Questions
185 questions across 14 years, every one with a model answer
UPSC Mains GS Paper 4 previous year questions from 2013 to 2026 — all 185 questions on Ethics, Integrity and Aptitude, each transcribed from the official paper and answered in a repeatable structure: an outline, the model answer, the marks-fetching key points, and worked examples. Pick a year to sit the paper as it was set, or a subject cluster to drill one theme across every year it has appeared.
The single most reliable predictor of what GS Paper 4 will ask next is what it has asked before. Work the recent 2026 and 2025 papers first for the current pattern, then move backwards to see which themes are perennial. For the other papers, see the full Mains PYQ hub.
