political science, economics, computer, etc

Revise all current affairs that have happened in the last 6-12 months

Current affairs section can be prepared with the help of newspapers, news
apps or books

Try to understand the events rather than cramming the dates

Candidates normally tend to look forward to avoiding the General Awareness
section.

Focusing on general knowledge questions can give you the edge over all
other students.

When others would be working hard and trying to make the ends meet by
minutes after minutes efforts to solve complex problems for just one mark,
the candidates would have already solved dozens of general knowledge
questions
