Hello Friends! Hope you are doing well.
You all know that AllGovtJobs has started new program that is to provide general knowledge & current affairs to our readers. Our aim to start this program is to help our reader to increase their GK and to clear government exams (Bank PO, CDS, CGLE and many more).
As we know GK and current affairs is an important parameter which decides whether the candidate is passed or failed the exam. Never take GK and current affairs part so easy. You need to do work hard for this section to score good marks. We all know in exam paper there are other parts also like English, aptitude, subject related, reasoning etc but to give exam on the basis of aptitude and English knowledge is wrong, GK is an important parameter.
AllGovtJobs want your success!!! Here are some current affairs and GK quiz questions, hope you find it advantageous.
