General Knowledge (General Awareness) is a vast subject, and it needs regular reading to score well. It is also the section where a well-prepared student can answer quickly and save time for Maths and Reasoning. At Odisha Career we repeat Static GK sessions for every subject every four months – Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Environmental Science, History, Geography, Economics and Political Science – so that students revise each topic several times before the exam.
Static GK and Current Affairs
Static GK
Facts that do not change: Indian history, geography, polity, economy, general science, important days, books and authors, and Odisha GK. Learn it once, revise it often.
Current Affairs
Events of the last 6–12 months: government schemes, appointments, awards, sports, science and technology, economy, and Odisha news. Read it daily.
How to prepare General Awareness
- Start with NCERT basics for History, Geography, Polity and Science (Classes 6–10). Most static questions come from this level.
- Read current affairs daily for 30 minutes and make short notes. Our Current Affairs & Vocabulary page helps.
- Do not ignore Odisha GK. OPSC, OSSC, OSSSC and Police exams always ask questions on Odisha’s history, geography, culture, economy and schemes.
- Revise monthly. At the end of every month, revise all current affairs of that month in one sitting.
- Practise MCQs to test what you have read.
