For UPSC test preparation, mastering the daily current affairs is critical as the Current events are heavily weighted in the UPSC exam.
In all three levels of the UPSC CSE Exam– prelims, mains, and interview – daily current affairs play an important part. The questions may be related to the static section of the syllabus directly or indirectly. Although daily current affairs are a significant element of UPSC test preparation, the syllabus covered by current affairs is unclear. Only "current affairs of national and worldwide interest" are mentioned in the exam syllabus.
For the past five years, the prelims have contained an average of 30 current affairs questions and are also a significant part of the UPSC Mains exam. The current events are made part of the syllabus as they improve students' analytical and logical thinking by exposing them to a variety of social, economic, and national issues. It boosts students' confidence in answering comparable questions in interviews. The UPSC interview process evaluates not just a candidate's education, but also his ability to deal with real-life situations through innovative thinking and understanding of current events. So, At all phases of the UPSC exam, a candidate is expected to have a clear preparation strategy to cover current events. Current events knowledge also aids in enhancing awareness and character development.
