What the M.P. prelims actually tests
A single online 150-question / 150-mark objective screen (2 hours, Hindi and English), qualifying only — the marks never reach the final merit list, and only a ~1:10 filter into the Mains. Uniquely, MP publishes an exact mark-per-subject blueprint, so the bars below show each head’s share of that official 150-mark scheme (one clean denominator; bars sum to ~100%). Only two papers survive — 2019 (near-complete, 148 Q) and 2021 (truncated, 65 Q, civil block only) — so each sparkline is a single 2-point slope and the shares are indicative.
The published blueprint is a planning floor, not a guarantee — the 2019 paper broke it twice. MP’s notification fixes marks to the mark, yet the actual paper ran Evidence at 15 questions against a 5-mark allotment and General Knowledge at 20 against 10, while Constitution (10 vs 15) and CPC (13 vs 20) came in under. Treat the scheme as the minimum shape, then over-prepare the two heads that historically over-deliver — Evidence and GK — beyond their printed weight.
The cut-off is steep and the codes are about to switch. MP screens on a hard qualifying bar — 60% (90/150) for General/OBC, 55% for SC/ST — so there is little room to skip a block. And every criminal-law question here is on the old IPC / CrPC / Evidence Act (no BNS / BNSS / BSA appears in either paper); from 1 July 2024 these give way to the new codes, and the notification tests Acts "as amended up to" the advertisement. Use the PYQs for concepts and style, then re-map each section — dying declaration, FIR, S.138, plea bargaining — onto its BNS / BNSS / BSA equivalent.
