NDA Current Affairs: What to Cover and How to Revise

The 2026 notification specifies:

• important events that have happened in India in recent years;
• current important world events;
• prominent Indian and international personalities, including people connected with cultural activities and sports.

A manufactured list of “most important current affairs” is not published unless it comes from a defined, reviewed editorial pipeline.

Use primary sources first:

• UPSC for examination notices and exam-related changes;
• Press Information Bureau for Government of India announcements;
• official ministry and armed-forces sources for defence developments;
• RBI for major monetary, banking and macroeconomic developments that are genuinely relevant;
• official international organisations for global events when needed.

Retain an item only if at least one of these is true:

• it is a major Indian public-policy, constitutional, defence, science, environment, economy or national event;
• it is a major international event with clear significance;
• it concerns a prominent person whose role or achievement has broad public relevance;
• it can be understood as a factual GK item without requiring speculative opinion.

Reject:

• celebrity gossip;
• viral but low-significance stories;
• unverified social posts;
• “expected questions” presented as facts;
• coaching-only importance labels.

For each retained event record:

• Event
• Date / period
• Place / institution
• People / organisations involved
• Why it matters
• One related static-GK connection
• Primary source URL
• Last verified date

• Weekly: revise newly accepted records.
• Monthly: compress them into one-page category summaries.
• Before the exam: revise only verified notes and remove superseded claims.

India, World, Defence, Science & Technology, Environment, Economy, Government Programmes, Awards and Appointments, Sports and Culture.

These categories are editorial organisation only. They are not claimed as separate UPSC sections, and no daily entries are fabricated here.
