Decent attempt but some dimensions of the answer are missing.
In introduction, you could mention the period of the Mauryan empire and the expanse of its territorial conquest to substantiate the first part of the answer.
Next, the question talks about culture as a whole. You have focussed on art and architecture, that is fine. Also, mention other dimensions such as literary and philosophical advancements. Pottery could be mentioned as Northern Black Polished Ware instead of BPW.
In literary achievements, you can talk about contributions of Kautilya, Bhadrabahu, Mogaliputta Tissa etc
Evolution of Shramana tradition, Buddhism, Jainism etc can be mentioned in philosophical developments.
Conclusion is fine.
Keep practicing. 🙂

Developments in art and architecture are well written. Good use of diagram. Some more examples could be mentioned such as Ashoka’s wooden palace at Kumhrar, Sanchi stupa, Nagarjuni and Lomas Rishi caves etc

Decent attempt.
Introduction is fine but you can make it a bit shorter. First 2-3 paragraph seems like intro, try to finish in 1-2 lines.
In the body, points are good.. You have broadly covered many aspects. But some elaboration will be required on art and architecture part, stupas, sculpture and cave architecture with some prominent examples (Ashoka’s wooden palace at Kumhrar, Sanchi stupa, Nagarjuni and Lomas Rishi caves etc) can be mentioned.
Also, you can talk about pottery (northern black polished ware). Mention of religious and literary developments are good. Trade and foreign relations can be avoided if you are short of space or time. The answer looks like it ends on an abrupt note.
So try to mention a holistic 1 line conclusion at the end.
Keep practicing. 🙂
sir, could you please suggest me conclusion for this answer?

Decent attempt. Introduction is good.
In cultural developments, you have focused on art and architecture only.
Points mentioned in this section are good.
But culture is a broad term, so try to cover other aspects too even if briefly.
In literary achievements, you can talk about contributions of Kautilya, Bhadrabahu, Mogaliputta Tissa etc
Evolution of Shramana tradition, Jainism etc can also be mentioned along with Buddhism in philosophical developments.
Also, caste wise mention of the empire is not needed.
Conclusion is fine.
Keep practicing. 🙂
