Embark on an empowering journey to the top ranks of the UPSC Civil Services exam with our SMART Current Affairs Programme 2024. Current affairs forms an integral part of the UPSC syllabus, with questions related to current events appearing in both the Preliminary and Main Examinations. Therefore, staying updated about current events is essential to score well in these exams. As per the trend analysis of the Previous Year's Questions, more than 60% of the questions in both Prelims and Main Examination are directly or indirectly linked to current affairs.
S.M.A.R.T.

The programme aims to achieve the following for the aspirants:
The programme follows a comprehensive and goal-oriented approach that is divided into two phases.
In this phase, the programme will cover the current affairs that are important for the UPSC Prelims Examination. The program will focus on the factual aspects of current issues and their implications for various sectors and domains, developing the skills needed to solve tricky Prelims questions. Besides sharing these SMART strategies, the programme will also provide regular MCQ-based practice questions and revision tests to assess the aspirants’ preparation.
In this phase, the programme will cover the current affairs that are important for the UPSC Mains Exam. It will focus on the analytical aspects of the issues and their interlinkages with the UPSC static syllabus. Aspirants will be taught the art of integrating current affairs in their Mains answers in the form of examples, case studies and explanations. They will also be assisted with regular Mains answer writing practice along with an analysis of possible Mains Questions.
(Note: Aspirants have the choice to opt for either the Phase 1: Prelims Current Affairs Programme or can opt for the combined two Phases SMART Prelims + Mains Current Affairs Programme. The price for Phase I: Prelims Current Affairs Programme would be Rs. 9000 and Combined Phase I+II would be Rs 17,500.)

Our goal is to make current affairs preparation SMART and less time-consuming for aspirants pursuing UPSC CSE and other competitive Examinations.
Both the Current Affairs Programme and the Daily Newspaper Analysis video are useful sources of information for UPSC exam preparation as they serve their own unique purposes. However, they have some differences in terms of their approach, interactivity, and mandate. Here are some of the main points of comparison:
For Example: In our coverage of a news article on white hydrogen, our Current Affairs Classes would provide a comprehensive analysis, addressing its significance, types, applications, relevant government schemes and policies, international status, and potential UPSC Exam-related questions. Conversely, our Daily Newspaper Analysis Video offers focused coverage of the daily news, its context, various types of hydrogen, and other pertinent details for the day.
As a renowned coaching institute for UPSC CSE, Vajiram & Ravi recognizes that despite a solid understanding of the static syllabus, certain aspirants encounter challenges in effectively incorporating and correlating current affairs. Their struggle lies in seamlessly applying this knowledge during both the Prelims and Main Examination stages, hindering their ability to answer questions and discern how a current issue might be framed as a question.
Key Challenges faced by aspirants in current affairs preparation are:
Through a survey, we understood that students faced difficulties in recalling or remembering current affairs/news that they regularly watched on YouTube channels and other such sources. The SMART Current Affairs Programme by Vajiram & Ravi offers the solution to this problem. The program follows a multi-dimensional approach towards current affairs, which means that it covers all aspects of current affairs, including political, economic, and social events. This comprehensive approach ensures that you receive multi-level guidance that covers all aspects of your preparation, including time management and exam strategy.
