Key Points at a Glance
- 1
For CET Senior Secondary 2026, this topic must stay inside the official Current Affairs bullets: state and national contemporary events; famous personalities; state and national programmes and policies; civic duties, fundamental duties and moral values; and salient provisions of the Rajasthan Public Examination Act, 2022.
- 2
The 2024 general election and the first sitting of the Eighteenth Lok Sabha are useful national anchors for election process, Parliament and government formation, but CET preparation should focus on institutions and process rather than party commentary.
- 3
From 1 July 2024, the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita and Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam came into force as the new criminal-law framework, except for the notified BNS section 106(2) and related BNSS schedule entry; match them broadly with offences, criminal procedure and evidence.
- 4
Programmes and policies should be revised by level of government, department, target group, benefit and delivery method, with Rajasthan examples connected to state implementation rather than memorised as slogans.
- 5
Digital and technology events are in scope when they affect public services: UPI, DigiLocker, DBT, ISRO applications and the IndiaAI Mission should be read through institution, purpose and public use.
- 6
Sports, culture, awards, reports and famous personalities are scoring only when revised as event or person, field, year, source and state or national significance.
- 7
Civic duties are explicit in the syllabus: revise Article 51A fundamental duties, moral values in public life, and the Rajasthan Public Examination Act, 2022 as an exam-integrity law.

Official Scope and Revision Frame
The Senior Secondary 2026 syllabus lists this block as Current Affairs and gives five clear bullets: major contemporary events at state and national level in politics, economy, society, culture, technology, geography, ecology, sports and related fields; famous personalities; state and national-level programmes and policies; civic duties, including fundamental duties and moral values; and salient provisions of The Rajasthan Public Examination (Measures for Prevention of Unfair Means in Recruitment) Act, 2022. This file therefore stays with state and national current affairs. It does not teach advanced India-economy theory or a newspaper-by-newspaper daily dump.
Use a five-column revision sheet: event, institution, field, year and public significance. The institution column is the most important because it prevents loose memorisation. Election Commission, Parliament, Supreme Court, Rajasthan Legislative Assembly, Rajasthan Public Service Commission, NITI Aayog, RBI, GST Council, ISRO, DRDO, National Disaster Management Authority, Rajasthan departments and district administration should be read as institutions with public functions.
For every fact, write the source and year beside it. A rank, index or award changes by year; a law, mission or institution may also be amended. CET questions usually reward clean identification: what happened, who did it, which field it belongs to, and why it matters to citizens or Rajasthan.
A good Senior Secondary answer bank should be source-first. Use official releases, budget documents, court or law notifications, constitutional text, RSSB syllabus, ECI material and Government of Rajasthan pages before adding any factual note. If the source is only a coaching summary, a social-media post or a rank without year, keep it out of final revision until an official source confirms it.
