The UPSC Mains Syllabus PDF is the nine written papers that decide rank: Qualifying Language ×2, Essay, GS I–IV, and Optional Paper I & II (500 marks). FIRST IAS trains Mains in the same weekly cycle as Prelims — copies checked in a batch of 35, not a PDF dump sold after lectures.
GS-I history, society, geography. GS-II polity, governance, social justice, IR. GS-III economy, environment, security, science. GS-IV ethics, integrity, aptitude and case studies.
