By Mr. Dipin Damodaran
Course Duration: 10 months
An initiative under NEXT IAS 2.0 ADVANCE COURSES
How will CA-VA Course add value to your preparation ?
Current Affairs is the buzz. Value Addition is the edge.
Current Affairs play a vital role in the journey of every UPSC aspirant, with over half of GS Mains questions linked to contemporary issues. The real challenge lies in filtering through the flood of information to find what matters most. It is not just about gathering facts, but about turning them into insights that strengthen your answers. The Current Affairs-Value Addition (CA-VA) Programme by NEXT IAS meets this challenge by "Decluttering your preparation, Differentiating your content, and maintaining a Disciplined schedule."
It ensures that you don't miss out on the most important topics that matter in the exam. Whether you are a beginner or seeking to improve your rank, the CA-VA Programme adapts to your needs. Its modules will add value to your answers in GS Mains, Essay and even certain Optional subjects, offering a comprehensive, paper-neutral approach.
