Current Affairs: Prelims Integration
Current affairs become more useful when connected to static concepts. This lesson provides a method for converting news into Prelims-ready revision.
The Integration Method
- Identify the news event or institution.
- Find the underlying static topic: polity, economy, geography, environment, science or international relations.
- Extract only exam-relevant facts.
- Create one-line revision notes and possible MCQs.
- Revise the topic again after spaced intervals.
What to Extract
- Constitutional provisions, laws and institutions.
- Locations, species, rivers, minerals and geographical features.
- Economic indicators, policy terms and institutions.
- Scientific concepts, missions and applications.
- International organisations, agreements and important groupings.
Daily Practice
For every important news item, ask: What is it? Why is it in news? Where is it? Which static topic does it connect to? What fact could become an MCQ?
