FAQ

Common questions from aspirants

A current-affairs learning platform, not a news platform. Tattva turns daily news into structured, exam-oriented knowledge for UPSC and other competitive exams — connecting each issue to relevance, analysis, the paper it belongs to, and previous-year questions.

Every issue is scored against UPSC syllabus alignment, previous-year question patterns, and its constitutional, economic, social, or long-term importance — so you see what actually matters for the exam, not just what's trending.

Beyond what happened: why it matters, the background you need, key concepts, implications, and the exam perspective — the same questions you'd otherwise have to work out yourself.

Only where a genuine connection exists. Tattva doesn't force a PYQ link onto an issue just to have one — if there's no meaningful match, that's stated clearly instead.

Every relevant issue is tagged to the GS papers it touches — including where one issue spans more than one paper — and organized by topic and sub-topic so it's easy to revise by subject.

Keep it. Tattva doesn't replace your sources. It adds relevance and structure to what you learn from them.

No. It shows why a development matters and where it connects to the syllabus and past questions. It makes no prediction.

Yes. The Digest can be switched to Hindi from the bar at the top of the page. The interface and exam terms are translated; article text and analysis are in English for now.

You don't need another source. You need to know what to do with the information you already have.

See what matters. Understand why. Learn what to take forward.
