Hence, it is only natural for aspirants to feel intimated and confused by the vastness of the subject. Also, the (common) topics from which questions are generally asked, varies from exam to exam. Also, GK is constantly evolving. Hundreds of things are added on an everyday basis.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><em><strong>Organizing information:<\/strong><\/em> As discussed above, GK is practically endless.

Thus, depending upon the exam, one should decide the importance to be given to this section. Also, make sure to analyze\u00a0previous years&#8217; cutoffs to get a general idea of the minimum score you must obtain in that section. Generally, a detailed syllabus is released in the exam notification and from there one can understand if the G.K. section will be biased towards a particular subject or topic. For instance, IBPS (Institute of Banking Personnel Selection) notifies that the GK section of its CWE (Common Written Examination) will have specific coverbanking-specific information.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">General knowledge \/ awareness in divided into 2 main parts:\u00a0STATIC GK &amp; \u00a0CURRENT AFFAIRS.<\/span><\/p>\n<h6><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><em><strong>Important topics for Static GK Preparation<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/h6>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>International Organizations (IMF, World Bank, IMO etc):\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong>Major world organizations including economic organizations like WTO, IMF, and WB are important. Various political global groupings like UN and regional groups like ASEAN, SAARC, etc. are also important<strong>.<\/strong>One can expect regarding headquarters, chairpersons, functions of the organization or any other major reform\/ event that took place (pertaining to the organization).<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Geography:<\/strong>\u00a0You can expect general questions from geographical features from India and across the world. Questions on theoretical aspects of geography, like the mechanism of earthquakes, volcanoes etc. are rarely asked.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Everyday Science:<\/strong>\u00a0Focus is more on questions from the application of science rather than theoretical aspects of Physics and Chemistry. Further, expect questions on technologies involved in communication, IT, space, biotechnology etc.\u00a0Questions are generally of the School level.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Awards and Honors<\/strong><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>History:<\/strong>\u00a0It can be further divided into Indian and World History. Indian History, especially after the 1857 revolt is more important.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Economy:\u00a0<\/strong>This is an important section for all entrance tests. You can expect questions from theoretical as well as practical aspects of Indian and World Economy, with a special focus on India&#8217;s macroeconomic indicators, like inflationary trends, GDP etc.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Constitution &amp; Polity:\u00a0<\/strong>In this, you may be asked questions on the working of the Indian Political System e.g. political parties, pressure groups etc. Also, as far as the constitution is concerned, expect questions on major Articles, Schedules and Constitutional Amendments. Further, features of major social schemes launched by the central government in the past are very important.\u00a0Use &#8220;<strong>Comparative Reading<\/strong>&#8220;. For instance, read in the following manner &#8211; \u00a0First\u00a0read about the President, then the\u00a0governor, then read about PM, then CM, Parliament and then State Legislature, Supreme Court and then High court and so on.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Though the syllabus may seem vast, a good way to prepare is to refer to reliable resources. Consider custom-made e-books for each exam. One can also peruse NCERT ( up to class 10) books for preparing static GK.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h6><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><em><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>How to Prepare Current Affairs?<\/strong><\/span><\/em><\/span><\/h6>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">In Bank PO and Bank Clerk exams, general knowledge about banking is becoming more and more important. One can easily expect 10-15 questions on banking in the GK segment. However, general knowledge for bank exams does not go beyond the relevance of banking general knowledge to a common man e.g. savings accounts, current accounts, operational banking procedures, RBI rules etc. Thus to prepare for general knowledge related to banking, one needs to be regular with newspaper reading.<\/span><\/p>\n<h6 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><em><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>As far as most banking, government &amp; MBA exams, one must be thorough with the current affairs of the 3 &#8211; 5 months prior to the exam.<\/strong><\/span><\/em><\/span><\/h6>\n<h6><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><em><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Suggested Resources\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/em><\/span><\/h6>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Newspapers: Most commonly perused newspaper for competitive exam purposes is &#8220;The Hindu&#8221;.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Books: NCERT books ( up to class 10 ) are considered the best for the preparation of static GK topics such as History, General Science etc. For brushing up current affairs, one can also use yearbooks like Manorama.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">E-books: You can refer to various e-books that are available on the internet as free resources as long as you make sure that the source is reliable.

Here, we would advise you not to just simply write down points. Make an effort to create flowcharts and mindmaps for the data. Not only will this help you at the time of revision but will also help you to actively engage with information and remember is for longer periods of time.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.oliveboard.in\/blog\/category\/quiz_test\/\" target=\"_blank\"><b>Online quizzes <\/b><\/a>let you\u00a0test your knowledge and also stimulate your mind to learn more objectively.
