IE Magazines are monthly PDF compilations of both free and premium IE Articles with Mindmaps (Current affairs).
Why IE Articles?
- IE Articles are like NCERTs of key current affairs issues.
- It will give you a strong foundation of key current affairs topics through big-picture analysis.
- They are prepared by analyzing at least 3-4 years of news from major news sources like The Hindu, Indian Express, Yojana, etc. It is because UPSC no longer asks questions from last one-year news only (see 2018 & 2019 paper) + it requires candidates to have in-depth knowledge of important issues. So IE article is an initiative to satisfy this demand of UPSC.
- Relevant links to static syllabus mindmaps are also provided for integrated learning.
- Whenever there is an update to a particular issue, we don’t write an entirely new article with different words. Instead, we re-publish the existing ones with additional notes so that it would easier for you to understand and revise those issues better.
- It will be useful to solve analytical/in-depth questions in Prelims (see 2019 question paper). Note- Please read daily newspapers and take notes on topics that are not covered by IE articles to cover all topics for prelims.
- It will be useful to solve almost all questions in Mains (Essay and General Studies).
- It will be useful for writing excellent answers in mains (essay & GS).
- Articles are written in a notes based format with question-answer based arrangement = you can easily recall concepts in the exam/interview.
- Mindmaps are provided for easy understanding and faster revision before the exam.
- So regular reading and revising IE articles would be a game-changer in your UPSC preparation journey.
- Please note that we post only about 4-5 articles on most-probable topics per week but with more quality and in-depth analysis. Because quality is more important than quantity in this exam.
- One more thing, don’t restrict yourself to reading only articles from June this year – June next year. Because each and every article is important for the exam. Also, we provide mindmaps for a quick overview if you face time constraints. So you need to read all articles from August 2018 (IE Started) itself.
