2. UPSC Civil Services (Prelims)
UPSC Prelims And UPSC Mains both syllabi are similar, the difference is you need to go more depth in (UPSC Mains) Exams, and some extra efforts you will do for cracking this exam. And in UPSC Prelims the syllabus is almost the same but you do not need to read the whole thing in prelims. You should refer to the syllabus and read only those things and topics that are essential for Prelims that is enough. And remember don't take so much stress because it will erase everything that you have learned. Happy Journey ................
