General Science
Cover GAT General Science at the correct UPSC depth, from living systems and the human body to food, the solar system and eminent scientists.
In short
General Science is the officially named GAT section. Its scope is elementary: living and non-living, cells and tissues, growth and reproduction, the human body, epidemics, food and balanced diet, the solar system, and achievements of eminent scientists.
Understand terms and functions rather than memorising NEET-level detail.
Keep disease content elementary and factual. This route is not medical advice.
Focus on basic nutrients, functions and balanced-diet concepts at school-science depth.
Revise solar-system members and the basic geometry of eclipses. Avoid advanced astrophysics.
Use only well-established contributions and avoid viral attribution myths.
No molecular pathways, detailed taxonomy, advanced genetics or medical diagnostics are required unless UPSC explicitly expands its syllabus.
Scope authority is the official UPSC NDA notification. Section proportions, where shown, are official approximate syllabus proportions and never predicted weightage.
