Why is it important to read current affairs?

Current Affairs refer to the events of national and international importance relevant from
competitive exams perspective like the Civil Services Exam, Bank exam, etc. With the
change in the pattern of examinations, questions related to current events and news have
assumed a major role in deciding the fate of students.

Aspirants must read magazines and newspapers on a daily basis to strengthen their daily
current affairs knowledge. This helps in raising awareness level and develops an opinion or a
perspective on worldly affairs.

Broadly, the type of questions asked in the general awareness section can be divided into two:

 Static
 Dynamic
The static portion pertains to that section of the UPSC syllabus or other exams syllabus that
doesn’t change. For instance, the Revolt of 1857, the physical features of India, etc.
The dynamic portion pertains to current affairs. The best bet to cover daily current affairs is
the newspaper and following credible sources like Press Information Bureau (PIB) and
Yojana Magazine. Therefore, it is an important factor to get the daily dose of latest current
affairs for UPSC to gain a competitive edge in the preparation.

A good understanding of Current Affairs is central to success in the IAS exam, Government
exams, or any competitive exam. The current affairs span subjects like history, geography,
economy, environment and ecology, polity, science and technology etc.

Candidates should remain updated on current affairs that create headlines nationally as well
as internationally. In fact, recent trends have shown that the static and dynamic portions of
the current affairs syllabus have significant overlap. The probability of encountering
unexpected questions from current affairs in the traditionally static portions of the syllabus is
quite high.

The majority of candidates prioritise remembering current affairs. It is important to remember

that the UPSC is not testing your ability to memorise current events. They are testing your
capacity to absorb details, go beyond the facts, and see behind the screens. It is more
important to grasp and understand the topic than to memorise it.
