Newspapers behind the daily TNPSC and UPSC current affairs quiz

The rule will not change even when the stack grows: every exam item should be traceable to public reporting or a named editorial judgement. Every official date still belongs on the commission site.

National dailies

The Hindu (national + Tamil Nadu city pages). BusinessLine when the number is an index, a rupee, or a central bank desk. One other English national only when it carries a document the first paper did not.

Tamil Nadu pages we do not skip

• Chennai city: civic desks (Greater Chennai Corporation, floods, lakes, roads).
• State: Secretariat, Legislative Assembly, departments — Higher Education, School Education, Public, Water Resources, Rural Development.
• District: archaeology, agriculture, industrial townships, when the stem can name a department.
• Weather: Regional Meteorological Centre, Chennai — process words (convection, onset), not puddle poetry.

What we open beside the paper

A named Act, a Seventh Schedule head, a Tamil Nadu policy note, or a commission PDF when the story points at one. We do not scrape “100 expected questions”. Secondary headlines are not notifications. If we cite a vacancy or a last date, treat it as a pointer and open the file on upsc.gov.in or tnpsc.gov.in.
