Prelims Strategy
Focus on factual recall of key numbers: 12 major ports, 111 National Waterways, 5 major National Waterways with their routes and lengths, major airports and their operators. Memorize UDAN scheme details including fare caps, routes connected, and phases.
Learn Sagarmala project components, investment outlay, and target outcomes. Practice map-based questions on port and airport locations. Stay updated on recent developments like new airports, port projects, and policy changes.
Use elimination techniques by identifying obviously wrong options first. For scheme-based questions, focus on objectives, implementation mechanisms, and outcomes rather than just definitions.
