You should go as back atleast 1-2 years of General Awareness and Current Affairs section. It is always better to read newspaper for CURRENT G.K. than trying to grasp all info at once. Some of the newspaper sources which you can use to prepare this section are The Hindu, Financial Express, and The Economist.

In case, you dont like reading newspaper daily, you can go with Manorama Yearbook or Current Affairs Yearly by Arihant for General Knowledge which is published every year.

In order to prepare for STATIC G.K. section, you need to broaden your overall scope in following sections: Sports, Politics, Entertainment, Biographies, etc. So, for this, you can use Static General Knowledge by A.P. Bhardwaj and S. Chands Advanced Objective General Knowledge. These books are okay to start with if you are not someone with a newspaper reading habit from the past.

Dear Kajal,

Firstly, for an competitive or entrance exam, general knowledge is considered to be a crucial section which most of us avoid and focus more on analytical and logical section of the test. This is where most of us lose marks that can help us increasing our percentile.

In any competitive exam, the type of questions one can expect are mostly based on current affairs. For instance, if 80% of the questions are regarding current affairs then remaining 20% is about history and other domain. But, most of the test patterns specify that the general knowledge questions will be based on current affairs on their website or link.

Hi Crystal,

In earlier days,there are equal weightage of GK and current affair.But nowadays mostly questions are from current affairs only,at max there will be 2-3 GK questions.So,you should study current affair.

And if you ask about current affair then current affair will be asked from 1 year old news paper.Ways to prepare for current affair are:-

1-Previous year paper.

2-News paper.

3-Monthly Magazine.

4-Current affair website.

5-Annual Compendiums.

And most important make notes of it.

Hope this will help,please feel free to ask if you have any further queries.

Thank You.
