ATHARV IAS

UPSC questions are not random. Many questions come from current affairs linked with the GS syllabus.

In this short, I explain a simple strategy :-

When you read newspapers, always connect current affairs with History, Geography, Polity, Economy or Environment.

Example : UPSC asked a question on Mahatma Gandhi in 2015 because 2015 marked 100 years of his return from South Africa (1915).

Whenever you see :-

• 50 years
• 75 years
• 100 years
• 125 years
• Important Anniversaries

There is a possibility UPSC may ask questions from that personality or event.

Smart Newspaper Strategy :-

1. Identify important current affairs
2. Link with GS syllabus
3. Find historical/economic/political background
4. Prepare static + current together

This is how we can study current affairs strategically.
