Medieval India is nowhere mentioned in the IAS Prelims Syllabus but the Syllabus mentions History of India which means all the sum total of events and happening till date. So it contains Ancient History as well as Medieval History of India. This section of the Syllabus is also very vast but the number of question asked in the IAS Prelims is relatively less.
The Candidates cannot ignore the Medieval Indian History because of the two reasons. Firstly in IAS Prelims even one questions matters and Secondly in IAS Main Exam , the General Studies Paper I also ask for the History of India, which the candidates cannot ignore.
