Previous Year Question Patterns

Year Marks Question Summary Sub-topic
2013 5 Jan Dhan Yojana and financial inclusion Welfare: financial inclusion
2018 5 PM Rojgar Protsahan Yojana — incentives Employment scheme
2021 5 PM Rojgar Protsahan Yojana — describe incentives Employment scheme

Pattern Observations:

  1. Welfare scheme questions are highly focused — name the scheme, state its objectives and benefits
  2. Same scheme (PMRPY) was asked in both 2018 and 2021 — schemes repeat
  3. 2026: Expect questions on AB-PMJAY (health insurance), MGNREGS (employment guarantee), NEP 2020, MPI poverty, or PMGKAY/NFSA merger
  4. No health or education conceptual questions yet — 2026 likely to expand into NEP 2020 restructuring
