Today I would like to mention some important points regarding General awareness section. At present looking at the difficulty level of the examination General awareness is the only section where one can score confidently.
I will divide General Awareness section into three parts:
1.Static GK
2.Banking/ Financial Awareness
3.Current Affairs.
I would suggest the aspirants that follow the above order while preparing. First complete the Static GK section . Because if once you finish this section then it would become a scoring part in GA section. Next move on to Banking / Financial awareness. Again I divide this into two categories.
I can definitely say that “Bank exams today” is the best source for Banking Awareness. It is like a holy Book for Banking Awareness. Also, Follow GK Digest for static GK. Definitely, aspirants gains a lot from these two blogs (Its my personal Experience).
I also recommend to keenly observe the previous years general awareness section, because each exam has a unique pattern in framing the questions. SBI pattern is different from IBPS. Be strategical and prepare accordingly
What are to be covered in Static GK section:
- Appointments and Resignations
- Awards & Honours
- Books
- Obituaries
- Important days
- National Parks and Wild life sanctuaries
- Committees
- Govt. Schemes
- Summits and conferences
- Sports
- Science and technology
- Acquisition and Mergers
- Budget
- International Organizations
My suggestion is always link the concepts while you study General Awareness and Banking awareness. For example in current affairs section if one read that India entered into a MOU with France, Here you need gather the surrounding points like
- Capital Of France: Paris
- Currency of France: Euro
- PM France: Edouard Philippe
- President of France: Emmanuel Macron
Banking Awareness:
- Banks’ Headquarters
- Banks’ Taglines
- CEO & MD of the Banks’
- Abbreviations Related to Banking
- Policy rates
- Information regarding Currency notes (like Dimensions of the notes, Whose signature is on the note, Minting, Number of languages on a note, Which image is inscribed on the note etc…,)
Banking Current Affairs:
Resources:
For GK:
Book Name: Lucent’s General knowledge
For Financial/Banking Awareness:
- Bank exams Today
- Gk Digest (browse Banking Section)
General Knowledge Questions and Answers
Current Affairs:
The major mistake done by many aspirants is they start preparation after confirming their prelims result. In this case the success rate is very low. Make a regular habit of reading daily current affairs and also use two reliable sources for current affairs even . I can say with 100% confidence choose Our blog (bank exams today and Gk Digest) as a source .Please refer the previous year papers for this section so that one can find the change is question patterns. I recommend to refer 6 months of current affairs and Banking current affairs prior to main exam.
