Current affairs for CUET
What happened, and why a paper might ask.
The news the General Aptitude Test draws on, story by story, written from the government's own releases. Each story carries the static fact it hangs on, the questions written from it, and a link to the document it came from.
The questions in the Current Affairs chapters are a rolling twelve-month set — they retire when they pass their review date. These pages do not. They are the record of what each month held, kept so that retiring a question never means losing the story it came from.

Take the week's quizThe exam window, month by month
CUET asks about roughly the twelve months before the exam. Work through them a month and a chapter at a time: each number is how many stories that chapter had that month, and opens them.
By topic
Each topic page holds the last twelve months of one chapter, newest first — the way to revise a chapter the week before the exam.

How this is written
Every item is written here from the release it cites — PIB, the Reserve Bank, ISRO, a ministry — read in full, not summarised from a news report. Nothing is taken from a newspaper, a news portal or a coaching compilation, because none of those is a document we can show you.
What it never does
- It never reports something we have not read the primary document for.
- It never predicts what your shift will ask. NTA publishes no per-topic split.
- It never quietly drops a month. A story stays up after its questions retire.
