Prologue to six part Article series
Total six parts covering December 2013 to 8th June 2014- nearly six months that is the usual time spanfor current affairs most competitive exams below UPSC Civil service exam.
1. [PIN-2014] Part 1/6: National- Official Posts, Committees, Stamps-2014, Defense, Telengana & more
2. [PIN-2014] Part 2/6: International- Presidents, Prime ministers, Summits, bodies & Ukraine Crisis
3. [PIN-2014] Part 3/6: Sports, Mascots, Athletes, Awards, FIFA-2014, Sochi-2014, Grand Slams, Hockey, Kabbadi,
Karnataka etc.PSU/Corporation jobs: EPFO, ESCI, FCI, ONGC etc.
All of above exams have 3-5-8 MCQs from Person in news, books, author, awards and sports.
What about UPSC/CSAT / preliminary exam?
1. This article series is pretty much useless for Civil service (IAS/IPS), they stopped this variety ofMCQs since last three prelims.
2. Besides even if UPSC examiner asks something, it’d require far deeper coverage of staticbackground, which I’ve ignored for PIN-2014, because here my focus is non-UPSC exams, theirexaminers don’t go that deep.
3. PIN data asked in IFoS (Forest service) Mains exam, hence important.4. For IFoS prelims not much important, because both civil service and forest service got common
prelims (refer to point #2)
Any updates, corrections please do post in the comments but with reference except wikipedia
