2. A. Introduction about current affairs
Current Affairs is the major part of the GS (General studies )and generally one third of
the questions of the GS Paper are directly or indirectly asked from Current Affairs
only in CSE PT(Civil Services Exam - Preliminary Test). This makes the Civil Services
preparation and examination dynamic and hence a person with even vast knowledge
of conventional GS Subjects has less chances of qualifying PT in case he/she
completely ignores the Current Affairs. It is in fact the awareness of an aspirant about
National, International, Regional, Social, Political, Ecological & Economic Affairs
currently going on in the country and the world since an year. Questions are also
asked which might be in news before one year but seeing the burden of other
subjects, It is always advisable to go with just one year Current Affairs.
B. Discussion About strategy of preparation
Now a big question arises about how to prepare for Current Affairs? How to efficiently
learn Current Affairs? How to store that big information base of one year without
hampering the preparation of other subjects and practising CSAT which is now
qualifying in nature? In fact, there is no wane of magic for it and this can be acquired
with regular practice only by devoting sufficient time for it. Now a person who has
completely ignored the Current Affairs section may get disappointed about what to do
now when the examination is knocking at the door step. No worries have faith in you
and start preparation from now onward with a balanced approach and you will
overcome this issue within a small time. Also, It is advisable that better to start now
than never.
Many people get confused about the sources of Current Affairs. Few people also say
that as per new trend of CSE PT, there is no guarantee that the questions will come
from particular magazine or newspaper only and even it comes from a particular
paper, it is difficult to organize and remember the Current Affairs of one year.
We say, yes, you are right, Ever body faces issues but we have to make the way out of
that only. If you have time, We strongly recommend you to go through The Hindu
newspaper on the regular basis and make a note of important issues in point format.
You can use that note as ash highlighting points before two weeks of exam. But if
you have ignored it, Don't worry. We will provide you enriched material/ information
as a part of our class notes and teaching in the class. Our VVR-faculty teach has
been working exclusively for Current Affairs and We have covered all the important
issues in the news on weekly basis through our C.N.A. Magazine. Our Team and
faculty who have already delivered and taught Current Affairs through Weekend
Classes have very high level of expertise which has benefitted the students and We
are sure that it would equally benefit the new joinee of the and comprehensive
Current Affairs programme with the VVR IAS. You come, study and change your
perception of Current Affairs, You will certainly believe after class that Current Affairs
is not an ad hoc module rather a multi-disciplinary module to be taught in a multi-
disciplinary approach. If you go through the analysis and information, the chances of
