Course Overview

VERITAS- VK IAS Current Affairs Program 2027

Instead of following news chronologically, VERITAS organises Current Affairs subject-wise and thematically across International Relations, Economy, Environment, Governance, Science & Technology, Internal Security, Society and other relevant GS areas. Every important development is placed inside a permanent theme and continuously updated. Students therefore do not start Current Affairs again every month, or separately for Prelims and Mains.

What VERITAS solves : 

1. Too many compilations, too little revision
2. Reading Current Affairs without being able to recall it
3. Studying the same developments separately for Mains and Prelims
4. Knowing a topic but being unable to construct an answer
5. Solving MCQs without understanding why marks are not improving
6. Starting Mains Current Affairs almost from scratch after Prelims


Sources covered : Sources covered : PIB, TH, IE, Livemint, Economist, Yojana, EPW, Kurkshetra



How VERITAS works : Every topic follows a simple progression: Current Development → Theme → Static Connection → PYQ → Application → Revision. So the new developments update the same theme instead of creating another news.

Phases : Phase I | Mains Current Affairs- 22 August 2026 to 31 December 2026

Weekly thematic coverage across GS subjects.
Monday: Recorded Class
Tuesday: Recorded Class
Thursday: Live MCQ and answer writing class

Phase II | Prelims Current Affairs- January 2027 to May 2027- Weekly 6 hours of classes from January 10th 2027

Phase III | Mains Reactivation- Post-Prelims to Mains 2027

The VERITAS Difference


1. Current Affairs is organised by themes, not months- You build a limited number of meaningful themes instead of accumulating monthly magazines.


2. Your notes evolve- For example An India–China Relations note created in August 2026 may become v2 in June 2027. The old note is updated. It is not replaced by another compilation.


3. Prelims and Mains are not treated as separate Current Affairs subjects- You learn once and retrieve differently. For Mains, you analyse. For Prelims, you recognise, connect and eliminate. After Prelims, you reactivate the same knowledge for Mains.


4. Revision is built into the program- Important themes repeatedly return through quizzes, cumulative tests and retrieval exercises. Revision therefore becomes part of the course design rather than something students are expected to manage independently.

5. Testing diagnoses the problem- A wrong answer is not treated merely as a wrong answer. The program identifies whether the problem arose from:

  • Missing information
  • Weak static knowledge
  • Poor current-static linkage
  • Elimination failure
  • Attempt judgement
  • Answer-changing behaviour

The objective is not merely to increase the number of questions solved, but to improve the quality of decisions made in the examination.

6. Current Affairs becomes finite- The goal is that students should eventually be able to say: IR is complete. Environment is complete. Economy is complete. New developments then become updates to an existing structure rather than additions to an endless syllabus.


VERITAS is designed for aspirants who do not need another Current Affairs compilation. It is a system that helps them finish, revise, recall and use Current Affairs in the examination.
