How to study CA for UPSC-CSE

There are numerous sources recommended.

  • The Hindu/Indian Express

  • PIB, RSTV, Yojna, Kurukshetra, DTE etc.

  • Monthly magazines of various institutes.

Just try doing all of this and one is sure to fail !!​

  • UPSC doesn't demand PhD in CA 

  • It requires one to do smart work

Smart work is following one source and revising it again and again.​​​

  • This one source is The Hindu

  • We are also covering Indian Express from Prelims Point of views since June 2022

Coaching institutes will just pour thousands and thousands of fact based info​​​

  • For just having a high hit ratio

  • Is it possible to cover all daily current affairs, daily editorials, daily quizzes, Prelims test series and what not and then revise them?

  • No, it is not healthy to do this

Follow one source. That's enough​​​

​

About Our Initiative :

  • This initiative is intended for all aspirants, whether fresher or otherwise.

  • The most important aspect of UPSC-CSE is covering current affairs (CA).

    • 20% of questions in Pre.​

    • 40-60% in Mains.

  • For CA, the most recommended source is the Hindu or Indian Express.​

  • We have chosen The Hindu as our main source as it covers both Pre and Mains.  

  • Just reading The Hindu serves no purpose.

    • It requires constant revision.​

    • Revision can't be done from the newspapers again and again.

    • Note making is crucial.

  • Typically, it takes 2-3 hours for note making of all important news and editorials.​

  • So, this initiative is to save your time, which is used in note making.

  • This saved time can be devoted to other aspects of the examination like static portion, answer writing and optional.​

  • These notes are perfect for revising.​

  • Revision is the most crucial aspect of this exam.​

  • It gives you the power to link topics.

  • We follow only one source i.e., The Hindu.​​​

  • Though the pre-based monthly magazine will have detailed information of each term, which is not covered in the Hindu.​

  • This would be more than sufficient.

Should I read newspaper?​

  • Yes, In 1 hour it can be done.​

  • At the same time, if you are comfortable in understanding concepts without reading newspaper, then you can save even more time.

​
