Exam Strategy

UPSC tests this through map-based questions, identification of physiographic features, and their relationship to climate/agriculture/population distribution. Examiners focus on boundary lines between divisions, formation processes, and how they influence human geography. Common error: confusing Deccan Plateau with Eastern Ghats or misplacing Aravallis.
