“Basics of Energy and Environment: Conservation, environmental pollution and degradation, Climate Change, Environmental impact assessment"
Best way to prepare for any particular exam is to know the most important topics being asked in the exam and start preparation. ESE Prelim paper-1 is being conducted since 2017. We have now past 8 years of papers which can become best guide to understand what is to be prepared for the prelim. Analysis of each and every question will provide some light and direction of the preparation. YourPedia is one of the first platforms which mentored students since 2017 for ESE Prelim paper 1. Mentors of YourPedia have done extensive work for this paper. Some of the unique features of YourPedia module for ESE Prelim Paper-1 are mentioned below:
• Very precise and concise (Minimum duration and max score possible)
• Covering almost every important topic for exam
