class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Most_Important_Topics_For_General_Knowledge_in_Competitive_Exams\"><\/span>Most Important Topics For General Knowledge in Competitive Exams<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To make your job easier, below is a compilation of all such topics which you would need to study in order to crack the general knowledge exams that you will be appearing for.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Indian_economy\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Indian economy<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Indian economy has always been a matter of discussion and an important topic in general knowledge exams. It is a difficult subject that has repeatedly tricked students in competitive exams. A candidate appearing for competitive exams should be well versed with economic terms like repo rate, reverse repo, CRR, etc. and their uses in economics. Questions can also be asked on the standings of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.saralstudy.com\/study-eschool-ncertsolution\/12th\/economics?utm_source=saralstudy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Indian economy<\/a> in the world or growth\/decline of inflation rate over the years. Be thorough with this subject as it is quite often asked in the exams.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Physical_Geography\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Physical Geography<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Physical Geography is a confusing subject as it mostly deals with names and numbers. This subject will demand high efforts and concentration as one has to memorize lots of names and numbers. A student should be thorough with the exact location of India, area, number of states, coastline area, highest and lowest points. All of this and much more needs to be studied to be able to answer the questions related to geography. The largest river and lakes are also the important topics to be covered in physical geography.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Books_and_authors\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Books and authors<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This topic deals with the knowledge of the literary world. You can learn about this topic in deep through the internet or by reading magazines. Before heading to the exam, you should have ample amount of knowledge of top rated Indian and foreign books along with the names of authors who penned them. Learn about the most successful and emerging Indians and their contribution to the literary world. This will help you in answering questions related to this niche.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Awards_and_honors\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Awards and honors\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">General knowledge exams have always witnessed a high number of questions on the highest honors awarded to renowned personalities. Some of the highest honors in India are Padma Bhushan, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.padmaawards.gov.in\/padmaawards\/AboutAwards\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Bharat Ratna<\/a>, Padma Vibhushan and Padma Shree among others. Also, make a note of Nobel winners and their field of study, Mr.\/Miss universe and Mr.\/Miss world winners to be able to answer such questions.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Indian_history\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Indian history\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There is no doubt in the fact that India has very rich history and thus it is an interesting topic for paper setters as they can never get enough of it. One can avoid studying Pre-modern history i.e. during Europeans entry to India. Pre-modern history can be avoided because from last few years no questions have been asked about it. But a student should be aware of India&#8217;s struggle for Independence, expansion and decline of Europeans and the British empire. Questions on world history are rarely asked but you can have a glimpse of it before the exams.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Government_policies_and_programs\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Government policies and programs<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Every year, government rolls out new policies and programs for the welfare of the people and better future of the country. One can study about these policies and programs by reading newspapers and making good use of Wikipedia. Each and every policy\/program is available on Wikipedia. This topic is worth studying as you can easily score marks if questions relating to this topic come in exam.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Science\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Science<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Paper setters target science topic as it is the weak link for most of the students appearing for the exams. Not many get well along with science as a subject for general knowledge. This topic is tough and could be time-consuming. What you should cover in science is the latest advancements, new discoveries, important theories, and the ongoing research projects carried out by scientists. Give extra efforts to this topic as it can either increase your marks or decrease it drastically.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Culture\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Culture<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">India is a diverse country and this is the reason of its rich culture. Questions are not much asked on culture but just to be on safer side one should know about the different religion and cultures in India. You must also make a note of all the important festivals that India has as questions on that can be asked as well.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Current_affairs\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Current affairs<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most of the questions in general knowledge exams are based on current affairs. Last few year papers has seen increased number of questions on current affairs and thus it&#8217;s important to study it thoroughly. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.saralstudy.com\/blog\/current-affairs-how-does-it-help-it-gds-and-pis\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Current affairs<\/a> could be anything going around in the world. The topic you can cover are politics, epidemics, health issues, etc. One can surf and acquire as much knowledge as you can from the different type of media. Be it newspapers, magazines, news channels or through the internet. Note down these current affairs on a diary for last minute revisions.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Entertainment\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Entertainment<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is no hidden truth that Indians love entertainment in all forms. Every year, thousands of films are released along with other forms of entertainment getting a wide recognition as well. Thus, entertainment has become one of the most favorable topics for general knowledge exams. Take note of upcoming films, new faces, new and old TV shows etc. to be thorough with this subject. Most of the questions asked in this topic are pretty easy but you need to be aware of it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Other_topics\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Other topics<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some of the other topics worth taking a look at are <a href=\"https:\/\/legislative.gov.in\/constitution-of-india\/?utm_source=saralstudy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Indian constitution<\/a>, wildlife, technology, and <a href=\"https:\/\/news.google.com\/topics\/CAAqKggKIiRDQkFTRlFvSUwyMHZNRGx1YlY4U0JXVnVMVWRDR2dKSlRpZ0FQAQ?utm_source=saralstudy&amp;utm_medium=blog\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">world politics<\/a>. These questions can also be asked in the exams and you must have a basic knowledge of them.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>The Final Word<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Every year some questions are based on each of the above mentioned topics. When appearing for general knowledge exams, it is important to not take any risk by leaving any subject and be thorough with all the topics for general knowledge. Leaving even one subject for option could cost you valuable marks. So study for all these subjects with best of your efforts and dedication to pass with flying colors.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Also Read:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.saralstudy.com\/blog\/best-general-knowledge-books-for-exams\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Best General Knowledge Books For Exams<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>General knowledge exams are important to pass with good grades in order to qualify for a job or a post.
