Mistakes that cost marks

3 traps to avoid
  • Treating Paper I lightly: five of fifteen items are Telangana-specific, and its 150 marks count in merit.
  • Skipping a paper: absence in either paper disqualifies you (section 12.5).
  • Skipping planning law: the syllabus names Telangana Acts from 1920 to 1975 and URDPFI guidelines.
