General knowledge/awareness is, to say the least, a huge subject. So, it’s only natural for people who want to learn more about the subject to feel intimidated and confused by how big it is. Also, the (common) topics from which questions are usually asked vary from exam to exam. Also, GK is always changing. Every day, a huge number of new things are added. In this article, we’ll give you a general idea of what you need to know for the GK section. We would also tell you how to get ready.

Important things to study for Static GK

International Organizations (IMF, WTO, WB, IMO, etc.): WTO, IMF, and WB are some of the most important international organisations. Important too are the United Nations and other global and regional political groups like ASEAN, SAARC, etc. One can expect about the organization’s headquarters, its chairs, its duties, and any other major changes or events that took place (pertaining to the organization).

Geography: There will be general questions about India and other places around the world. India Geography questions in Hindi that are more theoretical, like how earthquakes, volcanoes, etc. work, don’t come up very often.

In Everyday Science, questions about how science is used are more important than questions about how Physics and Chemistry work. Also, you can expect questions about communication, IT, space, biotechnology, and other technologies. Most of the questions are at the School level.

Prizes and Awards

History can also be broken up into Indian history and world history. After the revolt of 1857, Indian history is more important.

Economy:

This is one of the most important parts of any entrance exam. You can expect to be asked questions about both the theory and practise of the Indian and World economies, with a focus on India’s macroeconomic indicators like inflationary trends, GDP, etc.

Constitution & Polity:

In this section, you may be asked questions about how the Indian Political System works, such as how political parties, pressure groups, and other organisations work. Also, there will be questions about the Constitution’s most important Articles, Schedules, and Amendments. Also, it’s very important to look at what was good about the big social programmes that the central government started in the past. Use the term “comparison reading.” For example, you could read about the President first, then the governor, then the Prime Minister, then the Chief Minister, Parliament, then the State Legislature, the Supreme Court, then the High Court, and so on. There are many websites where you can prepare Political Science Question Answers online.

Even if the list of things to learn seems long, a good way to get ready is to look at reliable sources. Think about making custom e-books for each exam.
