📖 How to Revise Daily Current Affairs 26 October 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 Cyclone Arnab to how tropical cyclones are named and classified, the Ramsar tally to the Ramsar Convention of 1971 and the Wetlands Rules, 2017, Operation Trident to the NDPS Act and the Golden Triangle, and the CCPA order to the Consumer Protection Act, 2019. Questions in SSC, Banking and State PSC papers often combine a current event with a static fact.
