World Geography has always been a low-hanging fruit for the UPSC Civil Services, State Civil Services and other similar competitive exams. Direct Questions in Prelims: Topics based on the location of continents, countries, cities, oceans, rivers and world map-based questions (e.g., straits, seas, and mountains) have been frequently asked. Example: Identify the correct location of the Strait of Hormuz or countries bordering the Caspian Sea. Current Affairs Linkage: Questions are framed based on Natural disasters (e.g., the 2025 Myanmar Earthquake), geopolitical events and hotspots (e.g., the Suez Canal blockage), and other issues from a geographical angle. You need general awareness, map-reading skills, and knowledge of current affairs and contemporary issues to answer such questions. This is exactly where the ?PMF IAS World Geography Through Maps? comes into play. It blends general knowledge with current affairs and previous year questions (PYQS) to give you absolute clarity on the path you need to take to score better in the exam.
