A very good paper of Current Affairs. Totally analytical. Candidates with good analytical skills could pass it easily.

However after looking the paper of EDS and CA, I can say that this time most of the aspirants will be victim of GK.

Best of luck to all candidates.

The focal point is current situation of politics and security. And it does not go beyond Regional issues.

A well-designed paper!
 

In my opinion, most of the questions required logical articulation by taking the support of statistical data. A well-designed paper. The candidates who relied on rote learning will suffer the most and anyone who has been conceptualizing events from English dailies on day to day basis will do wonders in this kind of paper.

It's encouraging to see the shift in paper pattern.
