Significance of CURRENT AFFAIRS:
In recent years, the importance of Current Affairs has proportionally increased with analytical trend of questions as well as the enhanced weightage given to the dimensions of environment, bio-diversity and applicability of science and technology.
True to its self in terms of unpredictability, UPSC does not follow a particular trend as to questions asked from current events. This can be sensed from last 3 years' papers where a whopping 60% direct questions from current events were picked.
Current Affairs not only plays a key role in the first stage of Civil Services exam preparation but also Mains and Interview. It covers a wide range of topics which overlaps with core subjects and dynamic subjects. In order to address and crack this overlapping, one must develop the ability of correlation between current happing with conventional knowledge.

Current Affairs for UPSC: Nemesis for many and Savior for Few
Current Affairs has become a crucial element of one’s preparation. Year by year the weightage of current affairs is increasing, one can’t think of qualifying the exam by ignoring it. Moreover reading the right material/sources/news is another crucial element for the serious candidates. Relying on unauthentic sources like various websites and substandard magazines not only lowers the chances of selection but they also eat the crucial time of the aspirant, without producing desired results. One you get hold of right material, what News to read becomes the next dilemma, when it comes to exhaustive preparation.
Every day a set question perturb the aspirants, Should I buy more and more magazines, how many newspapers should I do, how should I lessen my newspaper reading time, how to make good notes, Do we really have some recourse to these issues?
Studying the trend of last 3 years clearly depicts that there is a tremendous rise in the current affairs questions and not just that, analysis based questions have increased. One has to cover the current affairs in holistic manner by oneself or with the help of a good mentor, as too much reliance on magazines/websites may become suicidal and may have detrimental effects on one’s preparation.
Moreover, editorial reading has became a important aspect to develop one’s analytical skills, but these editorials are kind of nightmares for already overburdened aspirants
