Exam Strategy
UPSC Prelims tests specific scheme names, eligibility criteria, and launch years rather than conceptual understanding. Questions focus on matching schemes to target beneficiaries and distinguishing between overlapping welfare programs. Common error: confusing scheme objectives or mixing up implementation ministries (MWCD vs. NRLM vs. ICDS).
