Hello Rushikesh,

To be a Master in General Knowledge it takes time. It requires patience. Read quality Newspapers like The Hindu, The Times Of India. Make it a habit. You can watch ABP News, NDTV, Times Now, etc. Try to go through all the breaking and highlighted news and watch regularly. Google, YouTube, and Wikipedia are your best teachers, so you should use all available internet sources to search current affairs and GK. There are abundant debate forums on the internet today through which you can increase your general knowledge. These forums engage knowledgeable negotiations in innumerable fields and going through them and taking part in them can progress your general awareness.

But frankly, if you are preparing for some exam it is important to know that General knowledge preparation should be exam specific. The syllabus is different for Bank or SSC. In Bank examination static GK i.e History, Geography, Political Science is not asked. Questions from current affairs and banking awareness are asked in Bank exams. But in SSC, questions from Static GK are asked. So, I would suggest you make sure of which exam to take and then prepare for General Knowledge. Once you make up your mind, you can follow bankersadda for bank preparations and sscadda for SSC preparations. You should get involved in some free mock tests that are available on the internet to evaluate yourself. This also provides you with the appropriate concept whether you are prepared for the examination day or not.

Preparing for GK for competitive exams can become easier if you know how to go about it. Whether it is Bank, Railway, IAS, NDA or other competitive examinations, you can score well by focusing largely on a few topics/subjects. These include:

1) Technological innovation in automobiles

2) Scientifically proven theories/concepts

3) NASA’s new findings

4) Politics/ Important Policies

5) Economics: Micro and Macro

6) Sports: Personalities, Olympics, Commonwealth, Asian and other global/national sports and their associated names


Now for current affairs, Current Affair is one of the most required paper in all the exam. If you have prepared well, you can score full marks in very less time. However, in the time of uncountable newspaper, television media, social media, books on current affairs. It becomes very difficult to select the right thing for preparing current affairs so that all your current affairs questions are covered.

Exambazaar has all the current affairs presented in the best form-this includes everyday current affairs from around the world, categorized into sections like business and economy, national, international, banking, sports, important dates, and MoUs/Agreements, description for the zest and summary with more important points.

Gradeup, bankersadda, testbook, affairs cloud are some apps where you can practice.

Lastly, I will tell you that there are no shortcuts to prepare GK and Current affairs, read daily, watch videos and practice more.

Hope this helps.

Good luck!

Hey.

To prepare for Current Affairs and General knowledge, the most efficient and important way is to develop a habit of reading the newspaper daily. You can read newspapers like The Hindu, The Economic Times etc. These have been proven very good for preparation for competitive exams. This method is way more efficient than rot learning from any book or website. In case you want to refer any book or website you can use any monthy, yearly, quaterly magazine like Jagran Josh, Manorama, Pratiyogita darpan in addition to the newspapers. You can use gktoday.in website too. For static GK you can use Pearsons guide- concised size or full size  depending upon your requirements.

Best of luck!
