AWC : Phase I
This exercise comprises of questions cherry-picked from the PYQs of CCE(M) over the last four iterations. Given the evolution of the exam pattern in recent years, it is natural to be inclined more towards Current Affairs based preparation but discarding PYQs (and Statics) is a game where the risks are too high and the returns are modest, at best. Attempt these papers within the time-limits to get into the groove of the exam as we gradually move towards Phase-II of Answer Writing Challenge (AWC) by the second week of August 2026 (tentatively). Good luck.
