Current Affairs for Objective Exams
For RSSB Basic Computer Instructor Paper 1, current affairs should be studied as objective facts, not as essay material. The useful items are names of schemes, dates, launch years, beneficiary groups, amounts, major awards, rankings, summits, and institutions. The source material here is Rajasthan-heavy because many national events are tested through state implementation, such as Ayushman Bharat, DBT, food security, employment guarantee, investment promotion, and International Yoga Day.
The safest revision method is to connect each event with one exact identity marker. For example, Rising Rajasthan is an investment summit held in Jaipur in December 2024; Fit India Freedom Run 5.0 is a national participation ranking where Rajasthan stood first; Ayushman Vay Vandana concerns senior citizens aged 70 years and above. Such pairing reduces confusion in MCQs that mix similar schemes, renamed programmes, and old titles.
Remember: For this topic, memorise the event, the year, the institution, and one or two figures.
