Newspapers play a crucial role in UPSC preparation by providing essential insights into current affairs, government policies, and socio-economic issues. Regularly reading newspapers helps aspirants develop a habit of staying updated with national and international events, which is vital for both the Prelims and Mains exams. Furthermore, articles can serve as examples for essay writing and enhance comprehension of topics questions may cover. Parents can compile important articles or events to facilitate organized revision, ensuring that aspirants are well-informed and can discuss relevant issues confidently in the interview.
