Current Affairs 2022 Topics for UPSC IAS Prelims Exam

IAS syllabus only mentions the current events of national and international importance in the official notification. But current events of national and international importance is a very broad term and the candidates need to decide which topics to be left for the exam.

Current events of national and international importance include all the events occurring in India and the world. Current Affairs is the major stakeholder of the IAS preparation. IAS preparation can be said the extension of Current Affairs in all its aspects and directions. IAS questions are always influenced by current events of national and international importance. Current Affairs is the only constituent of the IAS syllabus, common to all the General Studies papers and Essays. The current affairs topics are the tip of the iceberg which have their roots in the static topics as mentioned in the IAS syllabus topics. The current affairs preparation is critical to the selection in the IAS exam. As the IAS Toppers suggest, current affairs, the IAS syllabus and the previous year's question papers guide the IAS preparation. 

The candidates should always analyse the previous years’ IAS question papers because such analysis will provide direction to the IAS preparation. IAS preparation requires deep insight, opinion building and in-depth analysis of current affairs which can help them in IAS preparation but there is a lot of study material spread across the net. Firstly, the candidates should zero down the number of topics and then start preparing them daily.
