How to study general awareness for Bank Exam?

General Awareness is an important section in both Probationary Officer & Clerical level. The difference is that the deepness of the questions will be less in clerical. There are no shortcuts to crack this paper. The only thing which you can do is read the newspaper everyday and making notes of important happenings. Some of the good sources of GK are Pratiyogita Darpan , Competitive in Focus, Banking chronicle etc. Out of every newspapers I would suggest you THE HINDU. You should read the editorial of it everyday. Questions asked will be 5 to 6 months prior to the month of conduct of the examination. The areas which should be concentrated are:

-National News

-International News

-Business

-Sports

I think it is better to avoid regional news because there is only a mere chance of asking from it. If they are asking also it will be only for a maximum of one or two. It is always profitable to study other areas as 99% of questions are from others. You should concentrate more on figures which are changing in the economy.

General Awareness for PO

As per the new notification, they have reduced the number of questions to 40 from 50. Unlike Clerical level, you should study each and every hot topics so thoroughly.

Areas which you should be covering while preparing are:

-Awards and Recognition

-International visits of different heads to and from India, their signed treaties, and other important decisions they made

-Celebrated national and international days

-Ups and downs in the economy

-Acronyms, expansions and economic terms

-New organisations, formation dates and its heads

-Change of heads of organisations, nations etc..

-Reshuffle of ministers

-Winning of national and international sports

The list will go on. But if you are concentrating the above topics deeper, you can easily do GA paper well. If you are referring this site everyday and study you can do it well. I am updating hot news of everyday in the form of quiz referring The Hindu and other newspapers.

General Awareness for Clerk Level

If you are preparing for clerk level you can relax a little. Its not that strict that you should go deep into the topics. But I would prefer you to study for PO level, as it will be so easy then for you to crack clerical level.

After all it is knowledge. If you are fit with it, you can win any competitive exams. So all the best friends...
