Every UPSC Mains topper copy, one search box
loading the copy database…
Question database sourced from upsckata.com — Topper Copies. A free, open mirror. Every copy is hosted by the institute that published it — ForumIAS, Vision IAS, NextIAS and others — links point there, nothing is re-hosted.
Optional subject copies
Sociology, Anthropology, History, PSIR, Geography and the rest. The upstream database covers only GS & Essay, so this section is built entirely from what students send in — add a copy →
Submit a copy or a correction
Missing a topper's copy? Know a topper's AIR or subject-wise marks? Send it in. The form opens a pre-filled GitHub issue — a maintainer verifies it, then it goes live. Nothing is collected here; you just need a free GitHub login to post.
About
What this is
A free, searchable directory of UPSC Civil Services Mains topper answer copies. Search across every question inside the copies and jump straight to the page where a topper answered it.
Credit
The question-level database — which topper wrote which answer, on which page of which copy — is the work of upsckata.com's "Topper Copies" project. This site is an independent, non-commercial mirror that adds an optional-subjects section, per-topper AIR / marks tags, and a community submission workflow. All credit for the underlying data collection goes to upsckata.com. If its maintainers want changes to how it's used here, open an issue.
Where the PDFs live
Every "Open PDF" link points to a file hosted by the institute that originally published it — ForumIAS, Vision IAS, NextIAS, Lukmaan IAS, GS SCORE, Rau's IAS and others. No answer copy is stored on this domain. Rights holders who want a link removed can file an issue.
Contributing
