Topic: NEWSPAPER READING (Language and Communication Skills)
Conducted by– MR. MITUL JOSEPH, CAPS
Held on– 10/10/2020
The Competitive Skill Development Committee of the MAIS department organized a session on Newspaper Reading by Mr. Mitul Joseph that forms an intrinsic part of the preparation for competitive exams. The session stressed mainly on smart-picking the news relevant for the exams from the wide array of news found in the newspaper and then analysing it further to form arguments for or against the topic. The question paper of the previous years must also be analysed for understanding the required domains like economy, polity, law etc. In this respect, the sections under national, international and business news must be accorded special importance as maximum attention is relegated to this part for questions. The reader must also have awareness about the sports and on basic regional news and the opinion-editorial section which would help in enhanced understanding of a topic, great usage of vocabulary and finally help in formulating personal opinion or arguments about the topic which in turn would strengthen the answer writing skills.
