Current Affairs 12 March 2023: The UPSC Civil Services Exam and State Level PCS Examinations (Preliminary and Main Examination) of various states both require candidates to answer questions about current affairs. General Knowledge is the subject matter of CSAT Paper 1 of the UPSC Prelims. In Paper 1, the General Knowledge section has many topics, the first of which is current affairs or current events. For this reason, all civil service candidates who were successful in their applications recommend that applicants who are preparing for competitive exams read any one national newspaper. But sorting through the current affairs you cover for the newspaper and taking notes on those subjects is also a very deliberate task. Generally speaking, this task is simple for students who have been studying for a long time or for students who regularly read newspapers, but it can be challenging for fresh candidates looking to enter the civil service.
In order to make your preparation a little easier, we are attempting to summarize the national and international issues of importance that were published in today’s newspaper by filtering them. Check out the current affairs sections of today’s newspapers.
