The more sources you try to read, the less likely you will read since you will think it is too much to cover with the time you have and never start at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"A_few_useful_sources_are\"><\/span>A few useful sources are:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>India Yearbook<\/li><li>Newspaper- The Hindu, Indian Express<\/li><li>Manorama Yearbook<\/li><li>Economic Survey<\/li><li>Mathrubhumi Yearbook<\/li><li>Current Affairs \u2013 Arihant<\/li><li>Yojana Magazine<\/li><li>Kurukshetra Magazine<\/li><li>Pratiyogita Darpan Magazine<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Any government-released source is a useful source to learn from. Try to read at least 2 newspapers once a day, go through a weekly newsletter at the end of the week, and read a monthly recap magazine at the end of the month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Time_Limitation\"><\/span>2. Time Limitation<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Do not let current affairs take up all the time throughout your day since you will not have time to study for the other subjects. Current affairs are important, but you are going to be tested on your awareness of its importance and not dates, names, or details. Make sure you read up on current affairs for not more than 2 hours a day and spend the rest studying for prelims and mains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Do_not_mug_up\"><\/span>3. Do not mug up<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You cannot mug up current affairs since they are not looking for details of events but your understanding of it with context to topics. What you can do instead is remember dates by associating some issues with the news and the organization\/country associated with it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Know_what_not_to_read\"><\/span>4. Know what not to read<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Not everything that appears in the newspapers and magazines is important or relevant to study so make sure you know what to spend your time on and what not to spend your time on when preparing current affairs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Link_topics\"><\/span>5. <a href=\"https:\/\/youtube.com\/playlist?list=PLcC66kA-7TrK_QjIVInqET3LT9TVSdqo_\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Link topics<\/a><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A candidate&#8217;s ability to link topics is particularly important for the USPC Exams. Linking topics with current affairs shows how well you know the topic enough to understand the history behind it and is aware of how it can help India progress further. The USPC may not be interested in inauguration dates but would be interested in your knowledge of how to build trade relations and how inaugurations help India&#8217;s ties with international organizations and countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_Focus_on_issues\"><\/span>6. Focus on issues<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As mentioned before; The USPC is not interested in checking your memorization skills on current affairs but checking how well you have the ability to go beyond the information and understand the bigger picture. make sure you try to understand the issue the news is forecasting and not the details of the event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"7_Make_notes_online\"><\/span>7. Make notes online<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Make sure you keep track of the news by making notes. Handwriting notes is a tedious task for current affairs since it should not be given that much time for preparation so make notes using online applications for faster note-taking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"8_Revise\"><\/span>8. Revise<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Make sure you consistently revise to ensure you remember events. You will have to learn 12 &#8211; 18 months&#8217; worth of current affairs in preparation for the USPC Exams so constantly revise to retain the knowledge. An easy revision tactic is reading a daily compilation at the end of the day, a weekly compilation every week, and a monthly compilation at the end of each month and referring through your notes at least once in two weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"9_Make_it_a_daily_aspect_of_your_life\"><\/span>9. Make it a daily aspect of your life<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Make sure you are not only reading the news for the Exams but also making it a daily aspect of your life. Talk to friends and family about current affairs so you can retain the details as well as learn the latest information from them. Try to watch the news while eating or when you are taking a break so you can passively learn as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>10. Different languages After reading the news in English once, try to read it in the language you are going to write your Language Paper in as it will help not only in preparation for current affairs but also your language paper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/edukemy.com\/upsc\/upsc-2023-prelims-support-program-with-structured-mentorship-test-series\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"5000\" height=\"1580\" data-src=\"https:\/\/edukemy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Prelims-Support-Program-with-Structured-Mentorship-Test-Series-Web-Banner-3.png\" alt=\"UPSC 2023 Prelims Support Program with Structured Mentorship &amp; Test Series\" class=\"wp-image-3547 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/edukemy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Prelims-Support-Program-with-Structured-Mentorship-Test-Series-Web-Banner-3.png 5000w, https:\/\/edukemy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Prelims-Support-Program-with-Structured-Mentorship-Test-Series-Web-Banner-3-1536x485.png 1536w, https:\/\/edukemy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Prelims-Support-Program-with-Structured-Mentorship-Test-Series-Web-Banner-3-2048x647.png 2048w, https:\/\/edukemy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Prelims-Support-Program-with-Structured-Mentorship-Test-Series-Web-Banner-3-1920x607.png 1920w, https:\/\/edukemy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Prelims-Support-Program-with-Structured-Mentorship-Test-Series-Web-Banner-3-1170x370.png 1170w, https:\/\/edukemy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Prelims-Support-Program-with-Structured-Mentorship-Test-Series-Web-Banner-3-585x185.png 585w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 5000px) 100vw, 5000px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 5000px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 5000\/1580;\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Frequently_Asked_Questions_FAQs\"><\/span>Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_FAQ_Why_is_staying_updated_on_current_affairs_crucial_for_UPSC_CSE_preparation\"><\/span><strong>1.
