How to use these PDFs
Download today’s PDF to add fresh material to your notes the day it breaks. Come back to the same month’s compilation 60 days before Prelims when the noise has settled and only the lasting takeaway is worth re-reading.
Year PDFs run to 700+ pages. Printing the whole thing kills both the printer and your appetite to revise. Print month-by-month, annotate in pencil, file by GS paper. The act of annotating is half the retention.
In the last 60 days before Prelims, the Environment + Polity + S&T Compass PDFs cover roughly 45 percent of every recent Prelims paper. If you can only carry three documents to your final-week revision, these are the three.
Why daily PDFs matter
Most aspirants treat current affairs as a stream — read today, forget by next month, panic in March. The discipline that separates 95-mark Prelims attempts from 130-mark attempts is brutally simple: save every day’s PDF, add to one notebook, never delete. By exam day, you have 200 days of compiled, syllabus-mapped current affairs in your hands — not a frantic Telegram scroll history.
Each PDF on this page is produced by the same engine: every published current-affairs article on AnantamIAS is converted to a print-friendly PDF on-demand when you click the download button. Articles include the Why-in-News hook, the exact GS paper and sub-topic it feeds, scannable sub-headings, a UPSC-style practice question at the foot of each piece, and the FAQ accordion we publish with every article. The format is consistent across every PDF, so by week two your eye learns where to find each element.
Three months of daily PDFs → one full notebook of revision-ready notes. Six months → two notebooks → full coverage of every CSE-2026 current-affairs theme. Twelve months → you are running a closed-system revision cycle where every fact has a source and every source has a date. That is the depth UPSC rewards.

On-demand from our gt-pro plugin.

Articles published after the PDF was downloaded will appear in the next download.
In real time. Every time we publish a new current-affairs article, today’s PDF includes it the next time you click download. If you download at 6 p.m. and we publish more at 8 p.m., re-download at 8 p.m. to get the updated version.
