UPESSC Assistant Professor 2026 | One Year Current Affairs महा मैराथन Complete Revision Abhishek Sir

Summary

The video is a fast-paced, exam-oriented revision session led by Abhishek Sir. Its central aim is to review roughly 100 current-affairs questions from 2026, linking recent news to static General Studies facts that may appear in teaching and other competitive exams.

Main Topics Covered

• States, places, and institutions: The instructor quizzes students on locations and related facts, including the proposed food-technology institute in Hajipur, Bihar; a desert-themed night safari in Gujarat; Odisha’s Kusunpur smart village; and the Dhanu Yatra festival in Bargarh. He also connects news items to facts about places such as Vaishali, Nainital, Mount Abu, and Ladakh.
• Polity and constitutional provisions: The session revises constitutional articles, amendments, and schedules. Examples include Article 3 and the First Schedule in relation to changing a state’s name; Article 23 on forced labour; Article 262 on inter-state river disputes; Article 263 on the Inter-State Council; and Article 243D on women’s reservation in Panchayati Raj institutions. The instructor also discusses the 106th Constitutional Amendment and the freeze on Lok Sabha seat changes.
• Government policies and public programmes: Questions cover schemes and policy updates, including maternity leave, adoption leave, the PM-KISAN scheme, Khelo India, rural roads, insurance schemes, the PM Internship Scheme, and cashless treatment for road-accident victims.
• Economy, banking, and agriculture: The lecture reviews topics such as MSP and FRP, GI tags, India’s rice production, startup turnover limits, external debt, the history of GST, the Asian Development Bank, and changes to economic indices.
• Environment, climate, and wildlife: Topics include carbon-border measures, climate and methane reports, protected areas, endangered species, bird sanctuaries, and climate-resilient villages. The teacher repeatedly links current-affairs items to geography and environmental studies.
• International affairs and organisations: The session covers the Raisina Dialogue, the Gulf Cooperation Council, FATF, WHO, UN resolutions, COP hosting, UNESCO sites, and diplomatic awards and visits.
• Science, technology, and defence: The instructor asks about a cancer drug, a satellite mission, a vaccine, insulin, a missile test, a nuclear plant, and India’s space cooperation with another country.
• Awards, books, and sport: The final portion includes questions about literary and national awards, political figures’ books, football, tennis, badminton, cricket, and the Women’s Premier League.

Study Approach and Lessons

• Revise through active recall: Students are repeatedly asked to answer before the instructor gives the response. This format encourages learners to retrieve facts rather than simply reread notes.
• Connect current affairs to static GK: A news item is often followed by related background, such as a place’s history, a constitutional article, a national park’s location, or an organism’s role.
• Learn the “exam angle”: The instructor highlights facts he believes could be asked directly, including locations, dates, rankings, article numbers, scheme names, and reports.
• Use memory aids: He uses mnemonics and quick associations for topics such as the sequence and locations of Buddhist councils and languages in the Eighth Schedule.
• Treat mistakes as revision opportunities: He tells students that getting an answer wrong during practice is useful if they correct it before the exam. He also asks them to verify a few uncertain details independently.
• Practise with past questions and tests: The instructor recommends checking previous-year questions and using mock tests or question banks to understand exam patterns. He distinguishes revision sessions from formal testing.
• Prioritise reliable, structured study: He cautions students against collecting too many PDFs or mixing materials from different courses, suggesting they work systematically through the material they have chosen.

The transcript is auto-generated and contains apparent mishearings, conflicting statements, and some unclear answers. The lecture’s specific facts should therefore be checked against reliable sources before being used as study notes.
