Trend Analysis — Know the Pattern Before the Paper

What is Trend Analysis

The pattern examiners never tell you about

This isn't just a subject-wise breakdown. Every approved PYQ — 30 years of Prelims, 13 years of Mains (Descriptive) — is tagged down to topic, sub-topic, difficulty and thinking level, then turned into 9 chart views per exam you can actually act on.

Subject Weightage

A bar chart of exactly how many marks each subject has carried, year after year — so "Polity feels important" becomes "Polity is 24% of Prelims."

Topic & Sub-topic Hotspots

Drill past the subject into every topic and sub-topic examiners keep returning to — with a repeat-count badge on every one, so you never miss the obvious ones.

Difficulty & Thinking Level Mix

A stacked breakdown of easy/medium/hard and recall vs. analysis vs. evaluation questions per topic, so you know whether to skim it or master it before you open a single book.

Year-over-Year Shift

A trend line across up to 30 years of Prelims and 13 years of Mains, showing which subjects — and sub-topics — are rising, falling or holding steady.

UPSC aspirants say

Wish I'd found this a year earlier

"Trend Analysis basically told me where 60% of Polity marks were hiding. I stopped reading random topics and started reading what actually repeats for Prelims."

FAQ

Quick questions

What exactly is Trend Analysis?

A set of charts built from every tagged previous year question for your exam — 30 years of Prelims and 13 years of Mains (Descriptive) — covering subject weightage, topic and sub-topic hotspots, difficulty mix and thinking-level breakdown, updated as new papers get tagged.

Do I also get the actual previous year questions?

Yes — full PYQ Bank access, with answer keys, explanations, and instant practice tests, comes included with every Trend Analysis plan at no extra cost. It's one purchase, not two.

How often is the data updated?

Every newly tagged paper feeds straight into your trend charts and the question bank — no separate update or re-purchase needed during your 6-month access window.

Is TNPSC available yet?

Not yet — UPSC Civil Service is live today. TNPSC Group I and Group 2 & 2A trend analysis is coming soon; sign up now and we'll notify your account the moment it unlocks. Like every exam on Trend Analysis, TNPSC will be its own separate ₹120/6-month purchase, not an automatic add-on to your UPSC access.

If I buy UPSC, do I get other exams too?

No — pricing is per exam. Your ₹120 unlocks Trend Analysis and the full PYQ Bank for that one exam only, for six months. Future exams and boards we add are charged separately at their own ₹120 price when you choose to unlock them.

Is there a free trial?

Not yet — but a single exam unlocks everything (trends, full PYQ Bank and practice tests) for six months, so you're only risking ₹120 to see if it's for you.

Do I need a separate account?

No — Trend Analysis uses the same account as the rest of Question Paper Alignment. Sign up once, and your purchase attaches to that account.
