Going with Inshorts + PIB combo for SSC. Hindu opinion adds too much for SSC level. Saving for UPSC prep later.

PIB + The Hindu editorial + monthly compilation? Or is just monthly compilation enough?

Monthly compilations alone won't cover bills, schemes, S&T announcements. Daily PIB skim (10 min) + Hindu editorial (15 min) is the minimum for UPSC. For SSC just monthly is fine.

Inshorts (5 min) + PIB (10 min) + The Hindu opinion column (15 min). 30 min/day. Compounds beautifully.
