Important Topics List on General Science
General Science (Includes Physics, Chemistry, Biology)
As the scope of UPSC Exam is very large detail classification of the topics can’t be estimated and summarized, however as with our experience we have listed some topics which are worthy, but the list is limited only. If any found and missing please comment below
As this section has limited scope to ask questions, but we can’t neglect anything in the preparation process
