Statement-based, matched-pair and assertion-reason questions in Prelims format. Timed, with 2 / −0.66 marking and a full solution after every attempt.
Free UPSC sets are built from UPSC-format questions in the daily quiz, which start from September 2026. Until then the premium UPSC sets are open to everyone.
The UPSC PIB monthly test series turns the pib published on Current Affairs Pulse into timed, exam-format mock tests. Each set runs on a clock, hides the answers until you submit, and then shows a full score report — marks, accuracy, a subject-wise breakdown and an explanation for every question.
A daily quiz tests what you read that morning, while it is still fresh. A monthly test asks whether you still have it a month later, mixed in with everything else — which is the question the actual exam asks. Attempting one set at the end of each month turns reading into revision and shows you which subjects quietly fade.
Every question here is written the way UPSC frames them: multi-statement 'which of the statements given above is/are correct', correctly-matched pairs, and assertion-reason. They test mechanism and implication rather than the headline, and the distractors are built so that a candidate who does not know the fact cannot eliminate their way to the answer. UPSC aspirants never see single-line recall questions in these sets.
PIB is the government's own press agency, and it is the single highest-yield source for Prelims: schemes, outlays, ministries, launch dates and the bodies behind them come from the release itself rather than from a news summary. These sets are built only from PIB articles, so nothing in them is second-hand reporting.
UPSC sets follow the Prelims ratio: 2 marks for a correct answer and −0.66 for a wrong one, with no penalty for leaving a question unattempted. That makes the decision of when to guess part of the practice, which is most of what a mock is for.
Yes. Every free set is open to everyone, with no sign-up.
No. Tests run in your browser and your scores are saved on your device, so you can see which sets you have already attempted without signing up.
No — the timer runs like a real exam and submits automatically when it reaches zero. If you reload or close the tab by accident, your answers and remaining time are restored when you come back.
Yes. After you submit, every question shows the correct option, why it is right, and a link to the article the question came from.
New monthly sets are added in the first days of the following month.
Yes — 2 marks for a correct answer and −0.66 for a wrong one, matching UPSC Prelims. Unattempted questions cost nothing.
