The Current Affairs Problem
Every UPSC aspirant reads current affairs daily. Very few actually retain it.
The problem is not lack of reading. The problem is passive consumption. You read The Hindu, scroll through PIB, skim a CA compilation — and by next week, 80% of it has faded. Come exam day, months of current affairs blur into a vague mass of half-remembered headlines.
UPSC Prelims typically has 10-15 questions directly from current affairs. Mains GS papers are heavily current-affairs-dependent. You cannot afford to passively read CA and hope it sticks.
PrepAiro solves this with a two-step approach: first, we aggregate and condense CA from multiple sources into UPSC-relevant key points. Second, we test you on what you just read with article-wise quizzes. Active recall beats passive reading every time.
How PrepAiro's Current Affairs Works
Multi-Source Aggregation
We do not rely on a single newspaper or website. PrepAiro sources current affairs from multiple platforms across the internet and condenses them into actionable insights specifically for UPSC aspirants. You get comprehensive coverage without spending 3 hours reading multiple sources yourself.
UPSC-Relevant Key Points
Not everything in the news matters for UPSC. PrepAiro's content team filters news through a UPSC lens: which topics are syllabus-relevant, which could become questions, which connect to static portions of the syllabus. Every article highlights the UPSC angle.
Article-Wise Quizzes
This is the retention engine. Every current affairs article comes with 2-5 practice questions. Read an article about RBI's monetary policy? Immediately test yourself on it. This active recall approach has been shown to improve retention by over 50% compared to passive reading.
AI-Powered Explanations
Every quiz question has a detailed explanation. Still confused? Ask Airo to break down the concept, connect it to the broader UPSC syllabus, or explain how this news item could be asked in Prelims.
