or the Current Affairs portion, the objective should not be to read every news article. NDA aspirants should focus on exam-relevant events, important facts, defence developments and issues connected with India’s national and international affairs.
1. Follow a Smart Time Window
For NDA 2 2026, give maximum attention to:
- January–August 2026: complete coverage
- June–August 2026: intensive revision
- Last 30–45 days: repeated revision of high-priority topics
- Avoid spending excessive time on very old or purely local news.
The final phase should be about revision rather than collecting new material.
2. Give Maximum Priority to Defence Current Affairs
Defence is one of the most important areas for NDA aspirants.
Prepare current affairs related to:
- Indian Army, Navy and Air Force
- Major military exercises
- Defence acquisitions and agreements
- New missiles and weapon systems
- Indigenous defence technology
- DRDO developments
- ISRO and space-defence developments
- Naval ships and submarines
- Aircraft and helicopters
- Air-defence systems
- Defence organisations
- Important military appointments
- Joint exercises with foreign countries
- Defence production and Atmanirbhar Bharat
- Important defence projects and missions
A useful method is to maintain a Defence Current Affairs Notebook with four columns:
System/Exercise → Country/Organisation → Purpose → Important Fact
3. National Current Affairs
Focus on events that have national importance rather than ordinary political statements.
Important areas include:
- Government schemes and initiatives
- Important bills and Acts
- Major constitutional and institutional developments
- Important appointments
- Awards and honours
- National commissions and organisations
- Major infrastructure projects
- Education and health initiatives
- Environment and climate-related policies
- Important government reports and indices
- Major anniversaries and commemorations
For every important event, learn the What + Who + Where + When + Why.
4. International Current Affairs
NDA questions can connect current events with geography, international organisations and India’s foreign relations.
Give attention to:
- UN and its agencies
- G20, BRICS, SCO, ASEAN and other major groupings
- Major international summits
- India’s bilateral relations
- India’s strategic partnerships
- Important treaties and agreements
- Major global conflicts and geopolitical developments
- International organisations and their headquarters
- New appointments in major global institutions
- Important international reports and indices
- Major elections only when they have international significance
Do not merely memorise the headline. Try to understand the country, organisation, location and significance associated with the event.
5. Science & Technology
Prepare current developments in:
- Space missions
- ISRO
- Satellites and launch vehicles
- Nuclear technology
- Defence technology
- Artificial Intelligence
- Quantum technology
- Biotechnology
- Semiconductor technology
- New discoveries
- Important scientific missions
- Emerging technologies
For science-related current affairs, connect the news with your Class 9–10 Science fundamentals.
This makes revision much easier.
6. Sports Current Affairs
Sports is a highly factual area and should be revised repeatedly.
Focus on:
- Major international tournaments
- Indian performances
- Winners and runners-up
- Important records
- Important Indian sportspersons
- Major championships
- Host countries/cities
- Sports awards
- Important sports organisations
- Major appointments
For example, recent National Sports Awards coverage shows how award categories, recipients and associated institutions can become useful factual revision areas.
7. Awards & Honours
Create a separate list for:
- National awards
- Civilian honours
- Gallantry awards
- Sports awards
- Literary awards
- International awards
- Important military decorations
- Awards given to Indians
- Awards given by foreign countries to Indian personalities
Do not try to memorise every award in the news.
Give priority to nationally important awards and personalities.
8. Important Appointments
Prepare important appointments in:
- Armed Forces
- Government institutions
- Constitutional bodies
- International organisations
- Financial institutions
- Scientific organisations
- Sports bodies
- Major national institutions
For defence examinations, military appointments deserve particularly high priority.
9. Current Affairs + Static GK Connection
This is one of the most important strategies for NDA.
Do not study Current Affairs and Static GK as completely separate subjects.
For every current event, ask:
“What static GK can be connected with this news?”
For example:
Defence Exercise → Participating Countries → Capitals → Seas/Oceans → Military Forces
Space Mission → Launch Vehicle → Launch Site → Orbit → Scientific Objective
International Summit → Organisation → Headquarters → Member Countries
Award → Awarding Institution → Field → Recipient → Country
This approach can convert one current-affairs topic into several possible areas of preparation.
How to Prepare the NDA 2 2026 Current Affairs Mock Test
Before attempting a mock test, follow this three-stage approach.
Stage 1 – Learn
Read your monthly current-affairs notes and mark:
- Defence
- National
- International
- Science & Technology
- Sports

- Appointments
- Economy
- Environment
- Important Days
Stage 2 – Revise
Convert the information into one-line facts.

Stage 3 – Test
Attempt a Current Affairs mock test under exam-like conditions.
After the test, divide mistakes into:
A. Never studied
B. Studied but forgot
C. Confused between two options
D. Silly mistake
This classification is more useful than simply checking your score.

How Much Time Should You Give Daily?
A practical daily schedule can be:
30 minutes – Current Affairs reading
20 minutes – Revision of previous topics
20 minutes – Current Affairs practice/mock test
10 minutes – Error notebook
Total: 80 minutes per day
If you have less time, prioritise revision and testing over reading new material.
