Current A韞�airs- Importance of Having a Good Filing System
The UPSC exam is considered tough and unpredictable. A large portion of the

syllabus (especially for GS 2 and GS 3) is built around things that are happening
in the world around you during the year of the exam. Current a韞�airs can be a
bottomless pit, and to ‘study’ it e韞�ectively, it’s extremely important to devise a
strategy that works for you.
Firstly, as a lot of people say, you should memorise the syllabus. I don’t suggest
that you sit down and learn it by rote. If you’re just starting your preparation,
I’m sure you already Google a lot of the keywords from the syllabus. Over time,
with a little bit of e韞�ort, you will automatically start remembering the sub-
topics for each paper.
The 韺�rst question while reading any newspaper article, then, is: can the article
I’m reading be mapped to any sub-topic in the syllabus? If yes, continue
reading. If not, stop and move on to something more useful. This rule of thumb
will help you bypass extraneous content. For example, straightaway skip the
following stories:
Political mudslinging and accusations

City pages (there might be the occassional important story here)
Sports pages
Celebrity gossip
Election-related speculation
https://reluctanteconomistblog.wordpress.com/newspaperreading/ 1/25
My approach:
At the beginning of my preparation, I tried a few di韞�erent things. After some

experimentation, here’s what I 韺�nally stuck to:
I read two newspapers: The Hindu, and Business Standard. I read Business
Standard because I thought it would be useful for Economics Paper 2. If
your optional subject is di韞�erent, I think The Hindu is su韉�cient
I didn’t read any magazines (I used EPW for Economics Paper 2, but I didn’t
read it every week. I just used the online search function to get articles on a
few topics)
I preferred making online notes, so I read both of these papers online/ on the
phone
Every morning, while still in bed/ at the time of breakfast, I would try and
韺�nish reading the editorials from both newspapers on the phone apps. I read
only the editorials I thought were useful for UPSC, and it usually took me
about 30-45 minutes to get through these. Anything I thought I needed to
include in my e-notes, I would copy-paste on the ‘Keep’ app on my android
phone (and later transfer to my laptop)
I’d get into work slightly early, and 韺�nish reading the rest of the newspapers
(apart from editorials). Again, I’d copy-paste exam relevant stu韞� onto a
single word 韺�le
Here’s the most important part: I realised that to be able to revise e韞�ectively,
I needed a good 韺�ling system. I’d tried reading the word 韺�le where I was
maintaining e-notes, and I noticed that it was hard to revise
e韞�ectively because my notes jumped from topic to topic. For example,
I might be reading something about foreign a韞�airs, and then the next item in
my notes would be on a new bill in the Parliament
To avoid this, I decided to make separate 韺�les for a few sub-topics. I made a
dedicated 韺�le for GS 1 (very little current a韞�airs are relevant for GS 1 anyway),
and divided the GS 2 and GS 3 syllabus into three broad buckets, each of which
got its own separate 韺�le. These broad buckets (notes included in links) were:
GS 2:
1. Acts, Bills, Constitution, and Judiciary

2. Schemes and Ministries
3. Foreign A韞�airs
GS 3:
1. Economy
2. Environment and Disaster Management
3. Security, and Science and Technology
Now, I thought it would be very time consuming if I copy-pasted notes in

their relevant destination 韺�les on a daily basis. To avoid that, I maintained a
master 韺�le where I copied relevant notes from papers everyday (as mentioned
before)
At the end of each week (usually on a Saturday), I would transfer notes from

this master 韺�le into each of the relevant destination 韺�les
I also supplemented my newspaper reading by daily current a韞�air updates on

insightsonindia.com. I didn’t read these everyday. Usually once a week (or
once in two weeks), I would sit down and clear out my insights current
a韞�airs backlog. I would make notes in a similar manner as described above
(copy paste onto master 韺�le, then after some gap when notes had collected,
transfer them to the relevant 韺�les)
A word of caution about current a韞�airs on insights: I think insights is a great

website. I don’t think it’s possible for anyone preparing for the exam to read the
newspaper everyday and not miss out on at least some of the relevant
information. This is where insights 韺�lls the gap- they not only explain what’s
happening, but also give you some historical context, related developments, and
anything else that might be relevant for the issue in news.
However, this means that the current a韞�airs on the website are very detailed.
This is great for developing an understanding, but it doesn’t lend itself to easy
revision. So, I culled most topics given on insights that I’d missed from
newspapers to about 20-30% of their original length, and only then included
them in my notes.
This website is also helpful for when and if you miss out on reading
newspapers for any reason. Please don’t go back and try to read a pile of
newspapers that you didn’t/ couldn’t read last week. Just read insights for the
days that you missed the newspaper, and start catching up on newspaper from
that day onwards.
While preparing these online notes, I always had one eye on revision- this
helped me avoid the temptation of including everything that looked
important. Due to this vigilance, at the end of the year I had notes that did
not go above 25-30 pages for any of the broad buckets indicated above (I
think economy current a韞�air notes were longer, but that’s because I had to
prepare this topic in great detail for my optional subject)
Consequently, I could revise the entire year’s worth of current a韞�airs, topic-
wise, several times before the exam
Hence, whatever you do, I would strongly recommend having a good 韺�ling
system, and ensuring that you have a plan for how to revise your notes close to
the exam.

Hi Abhimanyu,
Owing to paucity to time (I am yet to begin my Optional: Sociology or

Psychology ! :), am from an Engg Background), I was contemplating tackling
the newspaper on alternate days, coupled with notes on only Major Events, end
of the week.
Would that be recommended.
Any other suggestion for a late starter. (This is my 韺�rst and last attempt – age
wise!:)) God!)

Better to just follow insights on India if you don’t have time. It’s not ideal, but

Hello Sir,
I must say your blog is really helpful..
I’m aiming CSE 2017, I’m a commerce graduate and this is my 韺�rst attempt.
Due to various reason I started making notes of THE HINDU pretty late. My
question is how I must cover Current A韞�airs’ (old) topics now that I’ve missed
like 3-4 months. Though I’m considering reading old newspapers all over
again(at least from September). I feel like there is no substitution for it and I
should read them again. Please DO REPLY…what you would’ve done if you’re
stuck in such a situation?
Thank you.

regards to newspaper reading. As my father is posted in a remote area of West
Bengal I don’t have access to The Hindu.
Though I get a regional newspaper but that I feel is not helpful. Now I have
started referring to online monthly news compilations from insight and also the
monthly news compilations magazine from RAUs institute which my friend
sends me through post. These do have all the news and editorials and I have
been using these only.
I would like to know if this method of preparation is a good way forward as the
recent trend of upsc has been leading towards current a韞�airs which needs
thorough preparation.

Hello Sir,
Shyam myself(a civil service aspirant)
congratulation for your success.
I really thankful to you for providing your notes which you made with a great &
persistent e韞�ort.
Sir I have few issues regading my prep. Viz-
1.English-(weak in English). I am a bengali & my throughout academic

education was in bengali language. My target is 2017. I started prep from sep
this year. Since last 3 month i am reading cumbersomely Hindu Editorial
collected 2200 English ward. My qs is- is that ok?..because if i am not able to
read editorial 韺�uently then How can i make note out of it?..right now it takes 2h
to read hindu(selectively).
2.Current a韉�rs- I thoroughly gone through your CA notes they are very crisp &
organised. My qs is how to prepare CA-
A)vision IAS monthly magzine(doing)
B)Insight monthly magzine(only those articles which are not covered in Vision
IAS–should I do it?
C)In addition with both the magzine or either one of them, how much I need to
read hindu?
D)daily news analysis of Insight-some news are given there very crisp(should I
go for it?)
E)My primary qs is- please refer me an combination of 2 things which will be
highest fruitfulness. I want avail limited source of CA-from which I can revise.
Currently I working on my optional(geography). & polity(basic). my plan is to

1st 韺�nish them & then move to CA note making every day & visit GOV websites
viz-PIB etc. But I am running too slow & behind my own schedule.
I do not have any Idea how to prepare Geo optional(just after 韺�nishing the basic
book i am reading now the other sources book but. Please recommend any
website or community(if you know) regading geo optional.
3.Polity is my another weak area. How to deal with that?

your notes are so extensive & detail. could you please elaborate your note
making process step by step?…from where you get so must info regarding each
topic?
Thanking you for reading this long mail patiencely.

A very best of luck for your life ahead.
Looking forward to your reply.

Hi shyam, from reading what you’ve written, I can see that you need some
work on improving your writing skills, but it doesn’t look like you’re an
absolute beginner. Don’t worry too much about having a great vocabulary; you
don’t need 韺�owery prose In UPSC. Just aim at getting up to par with normal,
everyday English and that should be okay.
Regarding current a韞�airs: I’ve already written in some detail about my

strategy. I read Hindu and Insights. If you feel like something else works for
you, please go for it.
Sorry, I didn’t have geohrapjy optional, so can’t help here. I’ve also outlined
my sources for polity.
I would recommend not lagging behind on current a韞�airs. Do them alongside

GS / optional.

I read The Hindu and then make crisp notes from INSIGHTS on a notebook as

People suggest just following and may be highlighting the C.A in pdf’s.
Do you think it is nice approach to just highlight them in computer considering

Hello Abhimanyu. Congrats !!

I have just started the preparation and I am 韺�nding it di韉�cult to cut short the
newspaper reading time.
1.) When you say you gave 1 hour for reading The Hindu, do you mean just
reading the article and copy-pasting important stu韞� onto a word doc ? Analysis
of the issue at hand say from internet, is it included in this 1 hour?
2.) After putting all important stu韞� from newspaper into the master doc, when
you transferred the clippings to separate buckets under di韞�erent subjects, is it
then when you did the analysis and made structured notes?
3.) From mains point of view, we can focus on just issues but when it comes to
prelims, it seems to me that small facts in many articles are important. So, I
end up reading a lot of articles. Should I just focus on mains while reading The
Hindu or is there any other way out of this ?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Shayamal,
1. No, 1 hour doesn’t include analysis. But as you go along, you’ll 韺�nd that
there are not that many news stories everyday for which you need deep
analysis. I usually topped up my understanding by reading insightsonindia,

which was enough
3. That’s a judgement call you need to make for yourself. I tried remembering

A. I had several things in my favour- my bosses were really supportive, and

they let me minimise on 韺�eldwork and focus on tasks that could be done from
within the o韉�ce. They also let me stay back at work after working hours, so I
could use my cabin to study late into the night if I wanted to. I moved to an
apartment within walking distance from the o韉�ce to economise on travel
time. Also, my signi韺�cant training in economics meant that I could a韞�ord to
focus solely on GS before prelims. I think these factors were unique, and
might not apply to other working candidates.
