Current affairs preparation is extremely important for both IBPS AFO and AIC exams, especially in the context of agriculture-related news, schemes, and government initiatives. While the majority of the syllabus is technical and theoretical, current affairs often form a significant part of the General Awareness section and can even be integrated into the professional knowledge section. Questions related to recent agricultural schemes like PM-KISAN, e-NAM, PMFBY, KCC, and updates from the Ministry of Agriculture, NABARD, and ICAR are frequently asked. Moreover, awareness of international reports, agricultural production estimates, global summits, and state-level initiatives adds an edge to your preparation. In the descriptive sections, particularly for AIC, citing current examples or schemes can enhance the quality of your answers. Staying updated with monthly current affairs magazines, PIB releases, The Hindu or Indian Express editorials, and government portals will ensure you don’t miss important updates. Overall, a strong grip on current affairs not only boosts your score but also demonstrates your awareness of the practical aspects of agriculture, which is essential for these roles.
