Curriculum alignment with current events supports meaningful engagement during UPSC preparation by providing relevance to theoretical knowledge. When candidates learn about real-time issues, they are more motivated to understand the subject matter deeply. This approach enhances critical thinking and analytical skills, enabling students to apply their learning in practical contexts. Staying updated on national and global developments also helps candidates formulate better responses in exams. Integrating current affairs into the curriculum enriches the learning experience, making it more dynamic and applicable.
