Methodology & Scope:
Occurrence-weighted question share reflects the proportion of classified questions across analyzed archived public previous-year papers. It is not an official examination marks weightage.
Duplicate occurrences across multiple shifts/papers are tracked and reported without collapsing distinct questions.
Unclassified questions (13620) with generic or unknown syllabus tags are excluded from the topic denominator.
Analysis is computed from indexed archived public previous-year papers. Publication eligibility does not establish independent source or answer-key verification.
