Exam Strategy
UPSC Prelims tests India's UNESCO WHS tally (currently 57 as of 2024) and recent inscriptions as direct factual questions. Examiners focus on 2023-2025 additions, state-wise distribution, and criteria categories. Common pitfall: confusing inscription years with application years or mixing up site names and states.
