UPSC Prelims ek high-stakes exam hai jisme
knowledge ke saath smart elimination
techniques bhi equally important hoti hain. Har
saal hazaron aspirants factual doubts aur tricky
options ke chakkar me galat answers mark kar
dete hain.
Government schemes ke
implementing body ya purpose
ko UPSC modify karke deti hai, jo
galat hoti hai.
Jo statements recent
government policies aur
initiatives ke sath match karein,
wo sahi hone ke chances zyada
hote hain.
Jo statements India ke
international relations aur
cooperation ke sath align karein,
wo sahi hone ke chances zyada
hain.
Jo statements sustainability,
climate change mitigation, aur
conservation efforts ko support
karein, wo mostly sahi hoti hain.

📜 Master Summary: 41 Elimination Rules & Their Overlaps
UPSC Prelims ke liye 41 elimination rules kaafi effective hain,
lekin kuch cases me yeh overlap ya ek doosre ke opposite jaa
sakte hain. Isliye situation-based approach zaroori hai. Yahaan
ek simplified summary de raha hoon jo batayegi ki kis condition
me kaunsa rule apply karna hai.
---
🛠 Solution:
Agar extreme wording ho, toh usse doubt karo.
Agar logical aur real-world me possible lag raha ho, toh usse
eliminate mat karo.
Example:
❌ “The President of India can never be removed from office
before completing his term.” (Wrong - Absolute Words Rule)
✅ “The President of India can be removed by impeachment
process.” (Correct - Logical Consistency)
2️⃣ Institution Name Trick 🆚 Policy Implementation Trick
✅ Institution Name Trick: Agar koi statement galat regulatory body mention karti hai, toh mostly
wrong hoti hai.
✅ Policy Implementation Trick: UPSC policy implementation ka actual responsible body change karke
confuse karta hai.
🛠 Solution:
Agar kisi scheme/policy ka naam diya ho, toh uska correct implementing body check karo.
Agar kisi organization ka role diya ho aur wo sahi nahi lag raha, toh galat hone ke chances zyada hain.
Example:
❌ “The Election Commission of India is responsible for conducting Panchayat Elections.” (Wrong -
Institution Name Trick)
✅ “The State Election Commissions conduct Panchayat Elections.” (Correct - Policy Implementation)
---
🛠 Solution:
Agar statement ekdum contradictory lag rahi hai, toh fact check karo.
Agar statement ek genuine fact ka ulta version lag rahi hai, toh Reverse Logic ka use karo.
Example:
❌ “Indus Valley Civilization had no contact with Mesopotamia.” (Wrong - Conflicting Statement Rule)
✅ “There is evidence of trade links between Indus Valley and Mesopotamia.” (Correct - Reverse
Logic)
4️⃣ Theoretical vs Practical Rule 🆚 Hard to Disprove Rule
✅ Theoretical vs Practical Rule: Agar koi statement sirf theoretical lag rahi ho lekin real-world me apply nahi hoti, toh wo galat ho
sakti hai.
✅ Hard to Disprove Rule: Agar statement aise framed hai ki usse disprove karna mushkil hai, toh sahi hone ke chances zyada hain.
🛠 Solution:
Agar statement sirf bookish lag rahi hai, toh usse cross-check karo.
Agar statement itni generic hai ki usko galat prove karna mushkil hai, toh sahi hone ke chances hain.
Example:
❌ “All rural households in India have access to piped drinking water.” (Wrong - Theoretical vs Practical Rule)
✅ “Piped drinking water coverage has been improving under Jal Jeevan Mission.” (Correct - Hard to Disprove)
---
🛠 Solution:
Agar statement absolute aur extreme lag rahi ho, toh doubt karo.
Agar statement kisi progressive government policy ko highlight kar rahi hai, toh sahi hone ke chances zyada hain.
Example:
❌“The government has completely eradicated poverty in India.” (Wrong - Extreme Language Rule)
✅ “The government has launched various schemes to reduce poverty and improve economic inclusion.” (Correct - Progressive
Policy)
📌 Final Strategy: Yeh Rules Opposite Ja Sakte
Hain, Par Smart Use Karna Hai!
---
---
---
---
📌 Final Takeaways
✅ Agar sirf yeh 7 tricks follow karein, toh 80%+ accuracy possible hai.
✅ Absolute words aur numerical data sabse zyada misleading hote hain.
✅ Logical consistency aur institution-based questions me elimination technique
best kaam karti hai.
✅ Match-the-following me hamesha 2 correct pairs dhundho, answer pakka mil
jayega.
📜 Disclaimer & Author’s Note
UPSC Prelims ek unpredictable exam hai, jisme sirf knowledge
hi nahi, balki smart elimination aur logical reasoning bhi zaroori
hoti hai. Is book me di gayi tricks ek guaranteed formula nahi
hain jo aapko 100% success dila dengi, aur na hi ye tricks aapki
core preparation ka substitute ban sakti hain.
