About Our Initiative :
-
This initiative is intended for all aspirants, whether fresher or otherwise.
-
The most important aspect of UPSC-CSE is covering current affairs (CA).
-
20% of questions in Pre.
-
40-60% in Mains.
-
-
For CA, the most recommended source is the Hindu or Indian Express.
-
We have chosen The Hindu as our main source as it covers both Pre and Mains.
-
Just reading The Hindu serves no purpose.
-
It requires constant revision.
-
Revision can't be done from the newspapers again and again.
-
Note making is crucial.
-
-
Typically, it takes 2-3 hours for note making of all important news and editorials.
-
So, this initiative is to save your time, which is used in note making.
-
This saved time can be devoted to other aspects of the examination like static portion, answer writing and optional.
-
These notes are perfect for revising.
-
Revision is the most crucial aspect of this exam.
-
It gives you the power to link topics.
-
We follow only one source i.e., The Hindu.
-
Though the pre-based monthly magazine will have detailed information of each term, which is not covered in the Hindu.
-
This would be more than sufficient.
Should I read newspaper?
-
Yes, In 1 hour it can be done.
-
At the same time, if you are comfortable in understanding concepts without reading newspaper, then you can save even more time.
