📖 How to Revise Daily Current Affairs 6 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 Pralay to India’s ballistic and quasi-ballistic missile inventory and DRDO labs (RCI Hyderabad), TRAI recommendations to the Telecommunications Act, 2023 and satcom policy, critical mineral auctions to the MMDR Act and Atmanirbhar mineral security, tax devolution to Finance Commission transfers, Metro expansion to urban mass-transit and NUTP, Cosmoserve Base 1 to IN-SPACe/NSIL space reforms and orbital debris norms, Bharatiya Vayuyan Niyam to the Bharatiya Vayuyan Adhiniyam, 2024 and the DGCA, VB–G RAM G to rural employment guarantees and livestock livelihoods, MSME–TRIFED to PM Vishwakarma and tribal livelihoods, Asian Para Games medals to India’s Paralympic pathway, Change of Guard to Rashtrapati Bhavan ceremonial traditions, and the BRE Summit figures to India’s NDC and non-fossil capacity targets. Questions in SSC, Banking and State PSC papers often combine a current event with a static fact.
