Current Affairs plays a significant role in the preparation of the UPSC Civil Services exam, be it prelims, mains or interview. In the Prelims Exam, on average, 30-35 questions are asked directly based on current affairs. The applied weightage of current affairs is significantly higher in the mains because answers are to be written analytically with a static cum current approach. Similarly, knowledge of current issues is equally crucial for the final stage i.e Personality Test or Interview.
