Current Affairs from First Principles

Thirty one classes, plus a recorded backlog capsule on June–December 2026 released in November. Current affairs is taught inside each subject.

Five classes on the 2026 backlog; eighteen core classes, of which seven are the Budget and Economic Survey block taught in the fortnight they are presented, available separately for anyone who wants only that, and the rest monthly roundups and each subject in the news; and an eight class final sprint of probable questions and an exam week briefing.

This module is the last one still teaching. Every other module has finished by 14 February; current affairs runs on for another three months and closes one week before you sit the paper.

Because most of what Prelims 2027 will ask about has not happened yet. Teaching current affairs in November means covering a half empty year and then covering it again in April. Beginning on 17 January, four days after the notification (due 13 January as per the UPSC calendar, subject to change), means the year is taught once and taught properly — and it then runs continuously to 16 May, a week before the paper. The June–December 2026 backlog is covered by a recorded capsule released in November.

Included in every plan from GS Complete upward: GS Complete, Prelims Foundation, PFP (GS only), Prelims from First Principles (PFP), PFP + Mentoring.
