Simplified Current Affairs
Current affairs are necessary for every stage of the UPSC Civil Services Exam(Prelims, Mains and Interview). The Questions can be direct or even indirectly linked to the static or basic part of a particular topic.

Though current affairs are important and holds a significant portion of syllabus but there is no defined syllabus of current affairs for both prelims and mains examination. The UPSC syllabus for prelims just mentions, ” Current events of national and international importance”. Therefore, it completely depends on the candidate how he approaches his preparation towards the current affairs. Before we jump to the strategy to prepare for current affairs one must analyse the previous year question papers and try to get a basic understanding on the type and number of questions which are being asked from current affairs in the recent past.
