General awareness decides a lot of results. In SSC CGL and CHSL it is a full section you can finish in minutes; in banking exams it is the difference between clearing the sectional cut-off and missing it; in UPSC Prelims it feeds directly into the polity, economy and environment questions. The questions on this page are written from the day's news the way an exam would ask them — one fact, four or five close options, and an explanation that tells you why the other options are wrong.
Every question here comes from the daily current affairs quiz, so you can practise a single question in isolation on this page or attempt the whole set against a timer with your score, all-India rank and solutions.
Practice by exam
SSC
CGL, CHSL, MTS, CPO and GD Constable carry 25 general awareness questions with no calculation involved. Static GK and current affairs together decide that section, and current affairs is the half that changes every month.
Banking — IBPS & SBI
PO, Clerk, RRB and SO papers lean heavily on the last six months of banking awareness, RBI policy, appointments, mergers and financial schemes. Mains papers go deeper than Prelims, so revise with the six-month PDF close to the exam. See also banking awareness questions.
Railway — RRB NTPC & Group D
RRB papers ask direct, factual current affairs — awards, sports, summits, appointments and government schemes. Short daily practice works far better here than one long revision before the exam.
UPSC
Prelims rewards linking a news item to its underlying concept rather than memorising the headline. The explanations here give the background so a scheme, index or treaty is understood, not just recognised.
State PSC
APPSC, TSPSC, MPSC, BPSC, UPPSC and other state exams mix national current affairs with state-level news. Use this page for the national half.
Defence & teaching
NDA, CDS, AFCAT, CTET and UGC NET all carry a general awareness component built on the same current affairs base.
What the questions cover
National and international news, government schemes and policy, the economy, banking and RBI, appointments and resignations, awards and honours, sports, defence, science and technology, environment, summits and conferences, books and authors, obituaries, and important days. Most questions carry a Hindi version — use the EN / हिं switch on any card.
How to use this page
Work top-down: the newest questions sit on page one and older sets follow. Tap an option and it is graded on the spot with the explanation underneath, or use Show answer if you would rather read than attempt. Open any question on its own page for the full explanation, prev/next navigation and the discussion thread. For timed practice with a rank, use the online test instead. Before the exam, revise with the last six months current affairs PDF and the daily current affairs PDF.
Pair this with the other free question banks — general knowledge, general awareness, reasoning and quantitative aptitude — or start from all free practice.
