How to Study Current Affairs for the PTI Examination
For the PTI examination, study current affairs as objective facts: event, date, place, institution, beneficiary group and measurable outcome. Rajasthan-linked national events deserve special attention because they connect administration, welfare, sports, health and investment.
Useful examples include the Rising Rajasthan Global Investment Summit held in Jaipur on 9-11 December 2024, the Ayushman Vay Vandan Scheme launched on 29 October 2024 for citizens aged 70 years and above, and Rajasthan's first-place national rank in Fit India Freedom Run 5.0 in October 2024. Also remember renamed schemes: Indira Rasoi became Shri Annapurna Rasoi, while Chiranjeevi Swasthya Bima Yojana became Mukhyamantri Ayushman Arogya Yojana.
Exam takeaway: match every event with its date, place, scheme name and key number.
