Current Affairs
Recent world events, anchored to the year they happened.
Politics, economy, science and international relations from recent years — every question tied to a specific year, so the answers stay true.
This is recent history rather than a live news feed, and the distinction matters. Questions here are anchored to the year the event happened — which summit was held where, which agreement was signed when, who took office in which year — because an unanchored question about who currently holds an office stops being true the moment someone else does. We rebuilt the set on that principle after finding questions that had quietly gone wrong as the world moved on. The coverage spans elections, conflicts and summits that made international front pages, climate and biodiversity agreements, major economic and regulatory decisions, and space and science milestones. Hard rounds reach for the detail that separates a serious news reader from a headline skimmer: the name of a framework rather than just its subject, the year a treaty was adopted rather than the decade. It is a useful drill for UPSC prelims, SSC, banking PO and state PSC aspirants, whose general-awareness sections lean heavily on exactly this kind of dated, verifiable fact. It is not a substitute for reading the news — nothing here tells you what happened this morning.

Frequently asked questions
About the current affairs quiz- How current is the current affairs quiz?
- It covers recent history rather than this week's news. Every question is anchored to the year its event happened, so nothing here goes stale — but nothing here is breaking either. For today's headlines, read the news; use this to test whether the last few years stuck.
- Does it cover Indian or international affairs?
- Both. The weighting tilts Indian for the easy and medium rounds, with international stories — elections, conflicts, summits — added to hard rounds.
- Is this for UPSC and SSC current affairs preparation?
- It's a useful drill alongside dedicated current-affairs publications (PIB, Yojana, monthly compilations from coaching institutes). The quiz format reinforces retention via active recall, but it's not a substitute for daily newspaper reading.
- How often are questions refreshed?
- There is no fixed schedule — questions are added and corrected by hand when the set needs it, not on a cycle. That is why they are written to be anchored to a year rather than to the present, so a gap between updates cannot make an answer wrong.
