UPSC Current Affairs — Prelims Pointers, Mains Articles & Editorial Analysis
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।
Three Ways We Cover Current Affairs
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.
Daily Prelims Pointers
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 PointersMains Editorial & Articles
Syllabus-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 ArticlesDaily Editorial Analysis
The 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.

How to Actually Use Current Affairs
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.
Tag every item to a syllabus head
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.
Split the Prelims and Mains use of the same news
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.
Convert it into one written answer
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.
Revise monthly, not endlessly
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.
Want Current Affairs Guided by a Mentor?
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.
