Previous Year Question Patterns

Year Marks Question Summary Sub-topic
2013 5 WTO and international trade framework WTO trade rules
2021 5 World Bank Climate Change Action Plan World Bank climate role

Pattern Observations:

  1. Questions have focused on specific aspects — not comprehensive overviews. A scheme/initiative-specific question format.
  2. 2013: WTO rules/framework; 2021: World Bank climate — both are institution + contemporary angle
  3. For 2026: Strong candidates are (a) IMF SDR allocation 2021, (b) WTO AB crisis, (c) India's G20 presidency achievements, (d) AIIB/NDB as alternative institutions, (e) global debt distress
  4. 10-mark questions could cover: "Role of IMF in global monetary system" or "Compare WTO and regional trade agreements"
