UPSC CSE · Current Affairs Hub
One place for the current affairs that actually matter to your paper. Daily prelims-ready pointers, Mains-oriented articles with the dimensions examiners look for, and editorial analysis that turns the day’s newspaper into usable answer material — all mapped to the UPSC syllabus rather than to the news cycle.
रोज़ का करेंट अफेयर्स — प्रीलिम्स पॉइंटर्स, मेन्स आर्टिकल्स और संपादकीय विश्लेषण, हिंदी और English दोनों माध्यम के छात्रों के लिए।
Prelims and Mains reward completely different treatments of the same news item. Rather than one undifferentiated daily dump, our current affairs coverage is split into three streams — pick the one that matches the stage you are preparing for, or follow all three through the year.
Fact-dense, MCQ-ready pointers from the day’s developments — schemes, institutions, indices, species, places in news — written in the crisp bullet form Prelims actually tests, so a day’s reading takes minutes and revises in seconds.
Open Daily Prelims PointersSyllabus-mapped articles that give you what a Mains answer needs — context, stakeholders, multiple dimensions, data points and a way to conclude — so a current issue arrives in your copy as structured argument, not as recalled headlines.
Open Mains ArticlesThe day’s important editorials broken down the way a mentor would: the core argument, the counter-argument, the GS paper and syllabus head it belongs to, and the vocabulary and examples worth carrying into your answers.
Open Daily Editorial AnalysisThe most recent pieces published across our current affairs streams. New posts are added through the week — bookmark this page and start each study session here.

Most aspirants read current affairs daily and still cannot use them in the exam hall. The difference is never the volume you read — it is what you do with each item after you read it.
Before you note anything down, decide where it sits — GS-2 governance, GS-3 environment, Ethics case material. An untagged fact is a fact you will never retrieve under exam pressure.
A scheme is a fact set for Prelims and an argument for Mains. Read the pointer for one and the article for the other — that is exactly why the two streams are kept separate here.
Pick one issue a week and write a full answer or an essay paragraph on it. Current affairs become marks only after they have passed through your own pen at least once.
Keep your notes short enough to revise the whole month in a single sitting. If a month’s current affairs cannot be revised in one sitting, the notes are the problem, not your memory.
Our mentorship programs fold current affairs into the daily plan — what to read, what to skip, and how each item turns into a Prelims fact or a Mains argument. New batch starting soon — talk to a mentor.
Preparing for Prelims? Current affairs pointers work best alongside a structured Prelims plan — notes, MCQs, revision rounds and CSAT.
Writing for Mains? Turn each editorial you read into an evaluated answer through our daily answer-writing and Essay programs.
