How to Cover Current affair for UPSC?

Current affairs is a critical part of the civil service Exam, but available resources are challenging to cover completely, because they cover almost everything, due to which many aspirants compromise with their Studies of Static subjects [i.e. History, Geography, Economics, etc.] and waste a lot of time on current affairs.

It is one of the reasons for many hardworking aspirants to fail.

Here at IAS PCS PYQ our focus is not covering all the current affair but to provide you with only those topics based on PYQ trend which  has the highest chances for being asked in exam. 

Why do big institutions not give you the most important current affairs in a concise manner, which we do at IAS PCS PYQ? 

To rank on the Google search engine page, or in simple words, Google give preference to those articles which are lengthy.

When they rank on the first page of Google, more aspirants join the coaching.

When an aspirant starts his journey, he wants to learn and read everything, but after a couple of pre-exam failures, he realises that to clear the civil services.

Revision is the Key

If you do not limit your knowledge, you will never be able to pass the exam. 

Cut-off marks for Pre is around 50% and even UPSC do not expect you to know everything.

Why is Yearly current affairs also not useful for most of you?

It is a famous saying that if you eat 3 almonds daily, it will improve your memory, but eating 30 almonds daily will make you sick.

Yearly current affairs work in that way only.

Why is reading a daily newspaper not useful for most of you?

Newspapers have a lot of distractions in them, and only after revising the whole UPSC syllabus 2 to 3 times, you will be able to filter the news which are important for the exam.

What is the practical way to cover Current affair for UPSC?

Listening to AIR [All India Radio ] news is better strategy for beginner and once you finished Economy and Polity static syllabus and memorised UPSC syllabus then you can start reading editorial written by experts and neutral people and always avoid political personality.
