UPPCS Geography emphasises Uttar Pradesh-specific topics like the Ganga-Yamuna doab, Bundelkhand's drought issues, and Purvanchal's migration patterns, alongside national and global geography. UPSC has a broader global focus, while UPPCS integrates UP's socio-economic and environmental geography.

Key books include: Geography of Uttar Pradesh by Dr R.L. Singh. Uttar Pradesh General Studies by Disha Publications. Supplement with UP government websites (up.gov.in) for data on UP’s 9 agro-climatic zones and NCERTs (Classes 6-12) for basics.

Practice labelling key geographical features of Uttar Pradesh, such as rivers (Ganga, Ghaghara), national parks (Dudhwa), and industrial hubs (Kanpur, Noida). Use the Oxford Student Atlas and practice drawing maps to include in answers for better marks.

Since 2020, questions have increasingly link geography to current affairs, such as climate change impacts on UP’s wheat production or Indo-Gangetic pollution. Expect 2-3 questions on disasters (e.g., floods in eastern UP) and interdisciplinary topics like geography-economy linkages.
