UPSC CMS 2022 Syllabus - Download Subject-wise Syllabus PDF

The one advantage of the UPSC CMS syllabus is that it does not include any General Knowledge or General Studies topics. It means that the UPSC CMS exam is a full specialist exam. Since there are no current affairs topics, most of the syllabus is static and the number of topics is time-independent. The only part which can be said as the dynamic part of the UPSC CMS syllabus is the research and techniques. The ongoing research and the latest techniques can be asked in the exam as well.
