Introduction

Reading newspapers is very important for the UPSC Civil Services Examination since the dynamic portion of the Mains and Prelims syllabuses is given a lot of weight. In this blog you can find out how to take notes from newspapers for the IAS test. Let us get started. 

Here are some guidelines for creating valuable notes for the UPSC current affairs from newspapers. Let us have a look:

 

–Editorials, defense news, economics, constitutional changes, environment, government laws and schemes, international affairs, social issues, judicial decisions, etc. should be the main areas of concentration.

–Ignore the majority of sports news, hyperlocal news, celebrity-related news, and just political news.

–Write notes using your language. Emphasize, highlight, and add information from reliable sources such as PIB, Yojana, and PRS.

–An aspirant is expected to write summaries of significant articles and concerns. The article’s core ideas should be preserved, along with the theme, supporting details, arguments, advantages, ramifications, etc.

–For current affairs, concise notes must be produced. “In UPSC preparation, less is always more,” as the saying goes.

–To have a thorough knowledge, one must learn how to link dynamic and static information. A student must comprehend the significance of a judgment or rule to the curriculum by connecting it to geography, politics, or economics.

–Develop the practice of writing down the problems and social concerns that our society is facing. Candidates might cite these in UPSC GS or essay papers to support their arguments.

–Numerous GS papers may be asked in the Mains, several Prelims issues, and even the interview. For instance, news on water disputes, conservation efforts, and river linking. Keeping track of these trending subjects can provide an aspirant with a thorough insight.

–Editorials are very significant since they offer insights and analysis on a wide range of topics. Opinions in editorials might be prejudiced. However, it is expected of a UPSC candidate to list arguments both in favor of and against the subject. This aids in developing a viewpoint, which must be impartial.
