  1. A book treats every page as equally important.
  2. UPSC does not. It keeps returning to the same microtopics.
  3. Each dot is one past question. Watch where they fall.
  4. Cover the overlap first: 48 cards, 89% of PYQs. Then the rest, if you still want to.
Scroll or tap to step through

The overlap is where the marks are.

Most of what UPSC asks in Polity sits inside a small part of the book, and it asks about that part again and again. Cover the overlap properly and you're already ahead of most candidates, before you've spent a single hour on the rest.

Why pour your energy into the remaining pages first, when the questions keep coming from here?

06 Questions

Questions aspirants ask us

What exactly is in a deck?

Polity has 48 cards; each card is one microtopic, front and back, written from every UPSC question asked on it, with a QR code that opens that card's PYQ quiz. The other three decks follow the same format. Open any tile above and tap Details to see the topic groups.

How much is it and how do I pay?

₹300 per deck. Reserve now with no payment; we confirm your dispatch date on WhatsApp and share UPI or card payment then. Cash on delivery: to be confirmed at launch.

When does it ship and how long does delivery take?

Dispatch timelines are confirmed with you when you reserve. Delivery estimate across India will be stated on your confirmation message.

Do I need an app for the QR code?

No. Your phone camera opens evaluatorias.com/c/<card code> in the browser. No login, works on any phone.

Can I return a deck?

Returns and replacements for damaged or misprinted decks: policy to be published before launch; message us on WhatsApp in the meantime.

Will these cards replace my standard books?

No. Read your books once to build the concepts. Use the cards for every revision after that, because they keep only what UPSC has actually tested.

Why include CDS, CAPF and NDA questions?

UPSC sets all of them from one question bank. A question asked in CDS can return in Civil Services Prelims years later, sometimes almost word for word. Covering all the papers gets you closest to what will be asked next.

Does the History deck include World History?

World History is tagged in our database but is not a card deck yet. Ancient & Medieval and Modern History are the two History decks.

How are the answers checked?

Every answer is matched to the official UPSC key. Questions UPSC dropped or re-keyed are excluded, never guessed.

Walk into the exam having seen it before.

The questions UPSC repeats should be the easiest marks you score. Make sure they are.
