Frequently asked questions

Is this an official UPSC question paper?

No. It is an independent practice mock containing original questions mapped to the official CDS Elementary Mathematics syllabus.

Does the CDS Elementary Mathematics paper apply to every academy?

No. IMA, INA, and AFA candidates take Elementary Mathematics, English, and General Knowledge, each worth 100 marks. OTA (Officers Training Academy) candidates skip Mathematics entirely and only take English and General Knowledge.

What is the CDS Elementary Mathematics negative marking scheme?

Each wrong answer deducts one-third of that question's marks, about 0.33 marks per question here. There is no deduction for an unattempted question.

Is there a sectional cutoff in CDS?

Yes, in practice. While UPSC doesn't publish a fixed passing mark, candidates typically need to clear a sectional cutoff in each paper as well as an overall aggregate cutoff that varies by academy and year.
