IASbaba Daily Prelims Quiz
Hello everyone,
We have a piece of good news for you.
We have decided that we will be resuming with our Daily Current Affairs Quiz.
Even though Current Affairs questions are being posted every day with the 60-day plan, those questions are covering the monthly current affairs from the last one and a half years. Now, looking at the situation it can be inferred, that this year also, prelims will be postponed. In such a case, it is important that the students practice daily current affairs through reverse engineering i.e. through the questions. Also, aspirants preparing for 2022, who have started their preparation now, can also get benefitted from this.
Daily, 5 Current Affairs Questions will be posted on the platform, covering the most relevant issues from multiple newspapers like The Hindu, Indian Express, Mint, and also PIB. Apart from imparting knowledge, these questions will also make you understand how UPSC will be framing the questions from Current Affairs.
Current Affairs preparation is the most challenging frontier as far as UPSC is concerned. We hope that with the help of this initiative, you can definitely make a positive difference in your preparation.
All the best
