Mathematics is not a primary subject in the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) Civil Services Examination (CSE). However, a basic understanding of mathematical concepts is necessary to do well in the General Studies paper (Paper II) and the optional paper (Paper VI and VII) in the CSE. These papers are designed to test the candidate’s analytical and quantitative abilities, and the questions are primarily based on concepts that are taught in high school, such as algebra, geometry, and trigonometry.
It’s worth noting that the questions in the UPSC CSE are not as advanced as one would expect in a mathematics undergraduate course. The questions are primarily based on concepts that are taught in high school and are aimed at testing the candidate’s ability to analyze and interpret data, rather than their ability to solve complex mathematical problems.
In general, the scoring system for UPSC CSE works on the merit, which is based on the marks obtained in the written examination and the interview. The marks obtained in the written examination carry more weightage than the marks obtained in the interview. However, having a good understanding of mathematical concepts and being able to apply them to solve the problems can help you score well in the General Studies paper and the optional papers.
