How many dimensions should I cover in a 250-word GS answer for UPSC?

  • For a 250-word (15-marker) answer, aim to cover 5 to 7 distinct dimensions.
  • Use the PESTEL framework (Political, Economic, Social, Technological, Environmental, Legal) to ensure breadth.
  • Dedicate roughly two points per dimension, using subheadings to keep the structure scannable.
  • This approach demonstrates a holistic understanding and prevents your answer from becoming too narrow or repetitive.
