Pattern analysis:
- T110 tested in 4 of 5 years; 2026 near-certain to test again
- 2021-22 developments (Panchamrit, Mission LiFE, CDRI) absent from all previous papers — very high chance of 2026 questions
- COP28 Global Stocktake findings + Loss and Damage Fund = current affairs + climate diplomacy overlap
