For UPSC aspirants, focus areas in the current affairs section should include government policies, international relations, economic trends, and societal issues such as health and education. Key events, schemes, and reports from credible news sources, including The Hindu or Indian Express, must be prioritized. Aspirants should also track significant developments in environmental issues and legislative changes to contextualize their learning. These areas often find a place in the examination, therefore understanding their implications helps candidates connect theory with practical applications effectively.
