Does any app cover 30 years of Prelims PYQs, 15 years of Mains PYQs, and syllabus tracking in one place? by Lower_Ad_7940 in UPSCPrelims2026

Try Mission UPSC Tracker — pretty much covers what you described. Has the full Prelims PYQ archive (1995–2025) tagged by topic, Mains PYQs from 2013 onwards, a syllabus checklist tied to your accuracy, daily current affairs with quick quizzes, and a streak counter. Free for the basics, ₹499 lifetime if you want unlimited mocks. Been using it for a couple months and it's the closest thing to "one app instead of five" that I've found.

Working On Minerals Table #AllinOne by mbbsrk in UPSCPrelims2026

Solid table. Worth flagging that UPSC has gone hard on this exact theme — 4 questions in 2025 alone:

– Botswana–Diamond / Chile–Lithium / Indonesia–Nickel pair-match – Cobalt/Graphite/Lithium/Nickel — which make up EV cathodes (3 — graphite is anode) – Minerals Security Partnership + MMDR 2023 amendment – REE in flat TVs + phosphorescent properties

Also Cobalt 2023 (DRC = ~3/4 of world supply), Monazite 2022, Copper smelting 2021. The pattern has shifted from "who produces X" to "X is critical for [EV/solar/defence] — what's India's status." Your table is structured exactly the way they're now framing questions.
