Current Affairs for UPSC : Busting myths and misconceptions! || Anonymous UPSC Aspirant

[@ClarityforUPSCbyDr.Shivin]

There seems to be some misconception regarding my views on the newspaper. You should definitely read the newspaper as regularly as possible. All I'm trying to emphasise is that you read it only from Mains / personality building perspective. For that, editorials are sufficient. There are things like summaries of ARC reports etc. that you can read for this purpose as well. Obviously at the beginning, it won't be possible to read newspaper editorials in 15 minutes. But that should be the ultimate goal.

[@nishu55566]

yes NP is necessary to read.

[@drsamreenghani788]

People need to understand that whatever he has said in the video is what HE felt worked for him or works for him, and what HE thinks would be the right thing to do. One does not have to follow it blindly. Use logic always. For instance, I like reading The Hindu because it works as a stress buster for me & I like being abreast with whatever’s happening around me. If I find a very interesting/helpful (important from exam PoV) point or piece of information I note it down quickly (but it’s rare). He is cent percent right in saying that reading newspaper for Prelims at the expense of Static is counter-productive. All said and done, spending more than 20-30 mins on newspaper merits introspection.

[@heisenberg4636]

Normally I do not comment but people need to hear this. Last year, maine har din newspaper padha aur PT-365 kiya. Newspaper ka kuch bhi yaad nahi raha. Aur jo current ke ques bane wo PT se bane. Aur mera galat kya hua? Economy ke ques aur Hokera (Harike). To realisation ye hua ki agar ye static wale 3-4 ques sahi ho jate to pre to nikal jata. Mains ke jo ques hai wo current based aate hain, but static portion se hi. Aur sab jab Mains-365 hi kar rahe hain to aap apna load kyun badha rahe ho? Over all of that, aap current static karne ke baad karo zyada samajh aayega, zyada retention hoga aur consolidated rahega. New aspirants don’r know how liberating it is to not have to fret on “are abhi monthly mag bhi karna hai, daily CA bhi karna hai.” Har din current nahi karne se sirf itna hi hoga ki aapka dost agar kisi issue pe opinion puchega to wo aapke pas nahi hoga but Remember, you will have the last laugh. Savdhan rahein, satark rahein.

[@shantanusuryawanshi685]

i agree with you almost in every video. But have a different opinion here. There is a reason so many toppers suggest newspaper. Daily updates and newspaper act as a gel in your upsc prep. It broadens your understanding which cant be delivered by a magazine, mains answer writing becomes a cakewalk, forming opinions becomes easy, drastically improves the ability to read the options and grasp the question in prelims, makes you realise the boundaries of the upsc syllabus and what not. Also most importantly, it makes your journey joyful for u develop the appreciation for the things you read in static.

[@yogitakukreja2296]

I agree with you...call me a current affairs lover..but a newspaper a day builds your personality, vocabulary, opinions.. ofcourse you have to read as per the exam requirement..but simply reading magazines feels very mechanical to me...i read newspaper then use magazine to revise

[@yogitakukreja2296]

Also I find remembering magazines without having a background knowledge from newspaper.

[@shantanusuryawanshi685]

@@yogitakukreja2296 I did this mistake of skipping the newspaper in the first year of my prep, only to realise it was a mistake. AIR 6 this time has the second highest marks in gs. He says that newspaper was the single biggest reason.

[@babababa8472]

Toppers have a "How to use this" mindset. They will scour through the newspaper and add the things that other aspirants overlook. I know rankers who used the daily headlines as pre-planned introductions for topics. Top 10 rankers have intros and conclusion planned for each topic in syllabus. Also, i would advise everyone to be cynical of such bull shit videos as he has made.

[@khedhareeswari4700]

I agree but we should not spend more hours in newspaper as well In this video one thing is right We have to focus more on static than newspaper 🙂 We should complement with newspaper

[@bhavdeepmakwana4527]

Adding to my previous comment, It is true that you will not remember anything from newspaper. However, your focus should not be to remember anything at this stage. Get holistic understanding of concepts right now, only of concepts. Now, when you reach nearer to PT. You may refer to magazine like PT 365. Here you can easily revise because you are comfortable reading newspaper whole year. When you clear prelims you may read Mains 365 or raus magazine or material's like that. Again when you are reading newspaper daily, you find very comfortable reading magazine. As you read newspapers daily, you will be not tensed ki magazine baki hai padhne ki. Even if you fail to read magazine you will not feel undercofident. One more thing, people write raddi answer in mains. Read toppers copy and you will realise. Sab fekte hai. Aaspas ka gyan likh ke. Aapko bhi fekna hai, thoda quality fekna hai. Newspaper se aap fek paoge. BAM!

Haven't given a single attempt till now. But deep down I have always felt that newspaper is something I can't remember even 6 hours after reading. If someone asks me the conclusion of the articles I won't be able to say more than 2 lines. Also, now I remember watching Akshat Jain strategy video on unacademy channel and all of his sources were "Vision Study material se ho jayega. PT 365 se ho jayega.." apart from the basic books on static. Thank you so much for this detailed analysis which, after having understood seems so simple, and yet, most of us fail to understand.

People need to realise that what he said works only if your reading speed is fast and you can retain a lot in single reading otherwise this doesn't work. For him it works because he has practiced it for years as he is a medical student. If you haven't read newspaper and last minute do the pt365 then it feels too bulky, time is less also you aren't able retain much. If you effectively and shortly read newspaper daily and selectively read monthly vision magazines then you retain more and also there is less anxiety at last moment because you have already covered the CA of whole year, you don't have to read pt365 or mains 365 again you can just skim through the index for anything new and use this last minute time to give mock tests. Evaluate yourself for what category of student you are and then follow the strategy accordingly. One size never fits all.
