NEW OFFLINE BATCH - STARTING FROM 1st December 2025
Mastering Report Writing: Structure, Language, and Tips

Report writing is an essential part of Paper 2 in the UPSC CAPF AC examination. Though it carries fewer marks compared to essays, a well-written report can be a game-changer for candidates aiming to boost their descriptive score. It tests your ability to be clear, concise, and structured—skills crucial for future officers.

📋 Structure of a Good Report:

A standard report follows a clear format:

  • Title – Clearly mention the subject of the report.
  • Introduction – Brief background and purpose.
  • Body – Present facts in logical order (chronological or thematic).
  • Conclusion/Suggestions – Summarize the findings and add recommendations if asked.

🗣️ Language: Formal, Clear, and Direct:

  • Use third person and passive voice when possible.
  • Avoid opinions unless specifically required.
  • Keep sentences short and jargon-free.
  • Maintain a neutral and objective tone.

✍️ Tips to Ace Report Writing in Paper 2:

✅ Understand the Topic FirstDon’t rush into writing. Identify what the report is about—an event, incident, or issue.

✅ Stick to the Word LimitUsually 150–200 words. Brevity is key.

✅ Use Headings/SubheadingsIf applicable, they make the report easier to follow.

✅ Practice Real-World ExamplesUse newspaper reports or editorials to improve observation and presentation skills.

✅ Revise Format RegularlyThe more you practice, the faster and more accurate you become.

📌 Final Thought:

In Paper 2, report writing is not about creativity—it’s about clarity and control. A crisp, well-structured report shows the examiner that you’re ready for field duty where observation and communication are critical.

Write like an officer. Score like a topper.

📝 Sample Report: Domestic Violence in Urban India

Title: Report on Rising Cases of Domestic Violence in Urban Areas

Introduction:

This report highlights the increasing trend of domestic violence incidents in urban India, particularly during the past year. The aim is to present facts, causes, and suggest preventive measures.

Body:

According to data from the National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB), there has been a significant rise in domestic violence complaints, especially during and after the COVID-19 lockdown period. Most cases were reported from metropolitan cities including Delhi, Mumbai, and Bengaluru.

The primary causes include financial stress, substance abuse, lack of emotional support, and deeply entrenched patriarchal norms. Women, particularly housewives, were the most affected, though a small percentage of male victims were also noted.

Several NGOs and women helplines reported a sharp increase in distress calls. The lack of social mobility and limited access to safe shelters further aggravated the crisis.

Conclusion/Suggestions:

To combat this issue, the report recommends:

  • Strengthening legal aid and protection mechanisms
  • Increasing awareness through community outreach
  • Promoting gender-sensitive education
  • Ensuring availability of helplines and shelter homes
  • Strict law enforcement and community involvement are essential in eradicating this social evil.
