Importance of Current Affairs in Kerala PSC Exam - April 2025

PSC BOOK

When it comes to cracking the Kerala PSC (Public Service Commission) examinations, one section that often decides the fate of candidates is Current Affairs. Whether you are preparing for LDC, LGS, Secretariat Assistant, Police Constable, or Degree Level exams, staying updated with current events has become more crucial than ever.



In this post, let’s explore why current affairs matter, how to prepare effectively, and how they can make a real difference in your Kerala PSC journey.


🧭 What Are Current Affairs?

Current affairs refer to the events and developments happening around the world — in politics, economy, science, technology, sports, environment, and more. In the context of Kerala PSC, it means being aware of important national, international, and Kerala-specific events from the recent months or years.


Typical areas include:

  • Government schemes and welfare programs
  • Awards and honors
  • Appointments and resignations
  • Sports achievements
  • Science & technology updates
  • Important days and events
  • Kerala state news and cultural events


🎯 Why Current Affairs Are Important in Kerala PSC Exams

1. A Scoring Section

Unlike reasoning or mathematics, current affairs questions are straightforward — you either know them or you don’t. This makes it one of the easiest sections to score high quickly, provided you revise regularly.


2. Part of Every PSC Exam

No matter the post or level, every Kerala PSC question paper includes a set of current affairs questions — usually covering the past 6 to 12 months. Even technical and degree-level exams have 10–20% weightage on this section.


3. Reflects Your Awareness

Kerala PSC not only tests your book knowledge but also your awareness of the world. A candidate who stays updated with news is seen as informed, alert, and socially responsible — qualities expected from a government employee.


4. Helps in Interviews and Descriptive Tests

For posts that include interviews or descriptive stages, having a grasp of recent happenings gives you a confidence boost. Many interview questions are based on current issues in Kerala or India.


5. Connects with Other Subjects

Current affairs often overlap with history, economics, polity, and geography. For instance:

Budget updates → Economy

New laws → Polity

Environmental conferences → Geography

Understanding current events deepens your knowledge of other static subjects too.


📚 How to Prepare for Current Affairs

1. Daily Reading Habit

Read newspapers like The Hindu, Malayala Manorama, or Mathrubhumi. Focus on government policies, science news, Kerala-related issues, and international events.


2. Use Monthly Compilations

Kerala PSC aspirants can rely on monthly current affairs PDFs — these are concise and cover all important events. Try to revise the last 6–12 months before the exam.


3. Follow Reliable Sources

4. Attempt Daily Quizzes

Regular quizzes help retain facts better. Practice daily or weekly current affairs quizzes — especially Malayalam-based quizzes if you are writing PSC in Malayalam medium.


5. Make Short Notes

Create your own one-liners or flashcards for revision. This method helps in quick recall during the final preparation stage.


🕒 How Much Time Should You Devote?

You don’t need to spend hours. Even 30 minutes daily is enough if done consistently.

Make it a routine — like reading the morning paper or taking a 10-minute quiz at night. Small efforts daily bring big results over time.


💡 Pro Tips for Kerala PSC Aspirants

✅ Focus on Kerala-specific current affairs — new government schemes, ministers, awards, festivals, etc.

✅ Revise monthly instead of trying to memorize everything before the exam.

✅ Use PSC-oriented YouTube channels for quick revision videos.

✅ Combine current affairs with static GK for better understanding.

✅ Practice mock tests — they reveal your weak areas and improve speed.


In Kerala PSC exams, Current Affairs is not just a subject — it’s a habit. Staying updated keeps you ahead of the competition, adds depth to your answers, and builds confidence.

So, make current affairs a part of your daily routine — read, revise, and quiz regularly. Remember, those few marks in this section might just be the difference between selection and rejection!

If you’re serious about your Kerala PSC preparation, start treating Current Affairs as your strength, not a burden. With consistent practice and smart study, you can master this section easily and boost your overall score.
