Science and Technology has now turned out as a crucial marks differentiator between students from science background and non-science background. But with right kind of preparation, this difference can be made up. Science and Technology section of General Studies Paper (Paper 1 for 200 marks) in Civil Services Exam Prelims, is now a days more focused towards latest technologies. Earlier, questions from General Science were directly asked. It has also to be noted that the UPSC syllabus just mentions General Science and no details! So giving a 50-50 weight-age to science and technology each would be the ideal strategy.
An in-depth knowledge of Latest Technologies plus a thorough understanding of basic sciences is necessary to score high in Science and Technology questions of Paper 1 (General Studies). Links are provided to buy the important Science and Technology books available in the market in a prelims perspective.
