📖 How to Revise Daily Current Affairs 8 November 2026
Do not try to memorise every number in one sitting. Start with the headings and the Exam Point boxes, because those hold the facts examiners like to test: names of schemes, organisations, venues, amounts and first-ever achievements.
Next, go through the one-liners and say each answer aloud before reading it. Mark the ones you get wrong and revisit them after a day, then again after a week. This spaced revision helps current affairs stay in memory until the exam.
Finally, link each news item to the static syllabus — for example Horizon Europe to India–EU relations and the Trade and Technology Council, the IL-76MD landing at Nyoma to high-altitude airfields such as Daulat Beg Oldie and the LAC, E20 testing to the Ethanol Blended Petrol programme and BIS standards, MLFF tolling to FASTag and National Highway development, Special Campaign 6 to DARPG and administrative reforms, Rahat Mitra to Neighbourhood First and MAHASAGAR, Amini to indigenous shipbuilding and Lakshadweep geography, Trishakti Corps to the Army’s Eastern Command and the Siliguri region, Deepotsav to Ayodhya and the Saryu, Pranav V to Indian chess, WaveX to IFFI (founded 1952) and AVGC-XR, and AISSNG to Sainik Schools. Questions in SSC, Banking and State PSC papers often combine a current event with a static fact.
