The Half-Yearly Current Affairs PDF (January–June 2026) brings six monthly issues together in one 801-page volume: 823 stories, every one written as exam-ready pointer notes and mapped to the GS syllabus. If you missed the dailies or want one reliable source for the entire half, this is it.
What's inside
- 823 stories in pointer-note format. Each opens with its news trigger and GS-paper mapping, followed by 6–8 bullets written the way Prelims options are framed, with the load-bearing terms in bold.
- 780 quick revision maps. Nearly every story ends with a one-glance mind map of its key terms: Acts, Articles, schemes, institutions, judgments. Cover the map, recall the branches, and you know the topic.
- Six "Month in Numbers" dashboards. Stories by section, GS paper split, and a day-by-day intensity strip, so you see the shape of each month before reading it.
- Month at a Glance pages. The ten developments per month that matter most, across Polity, Economy, IR, Environment, Science & Tech, Security and more.
- 204 quick-revision facts. Every dated fact and number of the half, collected in two-page annexes built for the final morning before your test.
- A clickable master contents and full PDF bookmarks. Jump from the contents page or the reader sidebar straight to any month or section: 94 destinations, all verified.
How to use this volume
First pass: read the six Month at a Glance and Month in Numbers pages. That is the factual spine of the half in under an hour.
Second pass: go section by section within each month. Read the pointers, then test yourself against the revision map under each story.
Before the exam: revise only the Quick Revision annexes. Twelve pages covering every dated fact from January to June 2026.
Who this is for
UPSC CSE aspirants preparing for Prelims and Mains 2026–27, and State PCS candidates who want the half-year consolidated instead of scattered across daily updates. Coverage is drawn from The Hindu, The Indian Express and PIB, and organised by GS paper and theme so revision stays fast and targeted.
