Current Affairs: The GA section has proven to be the deciding factor in the selection of candidates on many occasions. Since many candidates get a similar score in the other three sections, those who score well in the GA section qualify the exam. Current affairs form a major portion of the GA section and should be studied diligently.
You need to study current affairs of 6 months before the date of the exam. Read a good newspaper (like The Hindu or The Indian Express) daily and make short and crisp notes of the major happenings. Keep the syllabus with you so you would know which topics to cover. Revise current affairs daily as it will be very difficult to mug up all the facts one or two months before the exam.
