For UPSC preparation, current affairs should go beyond simply reading daily news. You need to understand why an issue matters, connect it with the UPSC syllabus, identify facts that can help in Prelims, and build arguments, examples and perspectives for Mains. With the UPSC Civil Services (Preliminary) Examination 2027 scheduled for May 23, 2027 , starting your current affairs preparation early can help you build a consistent base for the examination.
