Fact & Statement Based

Current Affairs Roundup 2023

Covering Events in News During 2021-22

In the UPSC Civil Services Preliminary Examination, significant change has been observed in the nature of questions being asked in the past few years.

  • In the present scenario, most of the questions are statement based. The questions on current affairs are not being asked directly; rather, the questions are based on the background of topics in news.
  • Keeping this in view, for comprehensive coverage, in this special section, we have covered current affairs in a new pattern instead of the traditional way. With an exam-oriented focus, we have presented the content related to current events with relevant facts, terminologies, statements, and initiatives, etc.
  • The content presented in this special section is intended to serve as a source of ready reference for the Civil Services Preliminary Examination.

We hope you find it helpful in your preparation. Happy reading!
