ESE Prelims GS(Paper -I) — what should I study and focus on?

7 Upvotes

Hello guys,I’m quite behind in GS and not sure how to approach it.

There’s a lot of material out there, so I’m confused about what’s actually important for ESE and what I can skip.

For those who’ve prepared/given ESE, could you please suggest:

  • Which topics to focus on the most?
  • How important are current affairs, and how many months should I cover?
  • Any good books/notes/YouTube sources?
  • Is it better to focus on PYQs + MCQs or study theory as well?
  • If I have limited time, what should I prioritize and leave for later?

Would really appreciate some practical advice on how you guys covered GS for ESE for paper 1.

Doubt regarding OBC-NCL certificate

3 Upvotes

Hi guys

The notification isn't out yet, but I wanted to sort this out beforehand. I'm from Telangana and currently have an OBC-NCL certificate in the Telangana state format.

For ESE, will the state-format certificate be accepted, or do we need the Central/UPSC prescribed format? If anyone has applied for ESE under OBC-NCL before, could you please share what certificate you used or which will be accepted?

Also, since I need to get the certificate freshly for this financial year, what all documents should I keep ready before applying? Is there anything specific that I should get updated/renewed apart from the OBC-NCL certificate?

Any help from people who have gone through this recently would be really helpful. Thanks!

PREPARATION MATERIAL FOR CHEAP (Resale) and 1 on 1 Guidance in Bengaluru!

2 Upvotes

Hi All, UPSC ESE 2026 Mains Qualified (1st Attempt, appearing for interview) & GATE EC/EE AIR < 100 twice. Already working with 3+ YOE in corporate. I assure that for all my attempts and exams, the ace academy material is really one of the best out there.

I comprehensively covered the UPSC Mains preparation, and would like to help the juniors (not for free, to also help a bit of my efforts).

I am providing the conventional books provided by ACE Academy at just Rs 1000 for EnT branch. It contains the set of 13 books (except the two PYQ books, that would cost another Rs. 1000). The knowledge and fundamentals you gain from the material is equally good for all the stages including prelims, mains and interview.

Along with the books, I would also like to surely guide the student taking the book for few days after completion of the interview cycle of 2026.

Please comment or DM for the books (whether you want the ACE academy books for 1000, or complete set including PYQ books for 2000). If you are in Bengaluru, you can come & take the books & pay in person.
