GS PAPER-II Partial Match with RRP (Moderate Overlap):
Partial Matches (5 questions): The following UPSC questions showed moderate overlap with Enhance RRP Test Series—shared themes but with statute/institution-specific framing or a different directive: RPA, 1951—‘corrupt practices’ incl. whether disproportionate asset rise counts as undue influence; women’s social capital as a lever for empowerment and gender equity; constitutional amendment power—procedural & substantive limits (Basic Structure and landmark cases); inequality in resource ownership driving the paradox of poverty; and NCPCR’s role in addressing children’s challenges in the digital era (policy gaps & measures). RRP primed candidates on the right analytical lenses—transparency and political finance, institutional design, constitutional doctrine, distributional equity, and child-protection architecture—so they could structure answers fast even when UPSC narrowed the frame.
