Hello sir, currently I'm persuing b.tech from computer science branch and I want to apply for this form, from where I can prepare for general awareness and general knowledge ?
Hello,
You haven't mentioned about which form you're enquiring about, anyway for general awareness and general knowledge, there are two parts, one is static portion for which you may go through Lucent's GK book/any other standard book in the market, you can also refer sites such as GKToday or alike where content is presented in compiled form catering to different categories. Now, coming to the dynamic portion, the best way to deal with this is to read newspaper on a daily basis, you can choose The Hindu, equally good is Indian Express, or you can go through monthly magazines like Pratiyogita Darpan, there are many competitive exam sites which offer this information in compiled form for monthly basis, these are sites of banking or upsc exams, you can also refer this in case you don't want to read newspaper on a daily basis, but this is the best option as you don't have to mug up everything at the time of appearing examination, also after going through newspaper, you can go through daily MCQs provided in various sites for revision as well as retaining information.This integrated approach works well, as this is a consistent and gradual way of retaining information.
For general awareness you must be acquainted with almost all the current affairs and for that you must have an habit off reading newspapers you can also make use of some apps like inshots or something like that from where in atleast you read the headlines and then if you find interest you read more deep into specific topics.
For GK, some of the most preferred books are -
- General Knowledge by Arihant
- General knowledge manual by Pearson
- General studies by Disha
- GK by Lucent
Best wishes. Thank you.
You haven't mentioned the application form for which course you want to fill. But in General, this sections requires you to demonstrate knowledge of various aspects of current affairs and general knowledge including Contemporary events of significance at National and International Level, Arts and Culture, International Affairs and Historical Events. So keep yourself updated by reading News Papers. Also Manorama Year book will help you. And also books by Arihant Publications will help. And go as back dated as atleast by 1 year for Current Affairs. But if there is a specific examination that you are enquiring about, please do let us know and we shall help you with relevant information.
