IBPS GK Questions 2026

Static GK in IBPS exams means banking awareness first. The awareness tests of PO, Clerk and RRB Mains name banking, economy, financial and digital awareness, and the questions that return every year are about the RBI and its functions, the monetary policy tools (repo, SDF, MSF, CRR, SLR), types of banks and accounts, NPAs, Basel norms, priority sector lending, payment systems such as UPI, NEFT, RTGS and IMPS, deposit insurance, financial inclusion schemes, and the regulators SEBI, IRDAI and PFRDA and institutions such as NABARD and SIDBI. Headquarters and taglines of banks, capitals and currencies, national parks, dams and important days appear too, though with a smaller share than in SSC. This page holds GK24's topic-wise GK notes for banking exams, written as short facts and tables so that a topic can be revised in one sitting, with the terms and abbreviations that IBPS papers use. Read a topic, then solve its previous-year questions and quiz on this site to check what you retained, and come back to the notes for the facts you missed.

Q2745.Sports GKMedium

Which team won the first season of the Indian Premier League?

  1. A.Chennai Super Kings
  2. B.Mumbai Indians
  3. C.Rajasthan Royals
  4. D.Deccan Chargers
Show answer
Correct answer: C. Rajasthan Royals

Rajasthan Royals, led by the Australian leg spinner Shane Warne, won the 2008 final against Chennai Super Kings at the Dr D. Y. Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai, and they remain the only team to win the title in the league's first attempt with the smallest purse of that season.

Q2747.Computer AwarenessMedium

Testing a program only by giving inputs and checking the outputs, without looking at the internal code, is called:

  1. A.White-box testing
  2. B.Black-box testing
  3. C.Unit testing
  4. D.Regression testing
Show answer
Correct answer: B. Black-box testing

In black-box testing the tester treats the program as a sealed box, supplies inputs drawn from the specification and compares the outputs with what the specification promises; equivalence partitioning and boundary value analysis are its standard techniques, and no knowledge of the source code is needed.

Q2748.Computer AwarenessAsked in: Delhi · 7 Aug 2021, Shift 2Medium

Which of the following statements is/are correct regarding code walk-through in software development? I. It is an informal technique for analyzing code. II. It is performed just before coding the module.

  1. A.Neither I nor II
  2. B.Only I
  3. C.Both I and II
  4. D.Only II
Show answer
Correct answer: B. Only I

A code walk-through is an informal review technique: a few team members read a module line by line, mentally execute it on sample data and note the defects they find, without the checklists, metrics and formal records of an inspection.

Q2749.Computer AwarenessMedium

The spiral model of software development, which is driven by risk analysis in every loop, was proposed by:

  1. A.Winston Royce
  2. B.Barry Boehm
  3. C.Edsger Dijkstra
  4. D.Grady Booch
Show answer
Correct answer: B. Barry Boehm

Boehm described the spiral model, in which the project moves outward through repeated loops and each loop performs four activities: determining objectives, risk analysis and resolution, development and testing, and planning the next loop.

Q2750.Computer AwarenessAsked in: Delhi · 7 Aug 2021, Shift 2Medium

What is COUPLING in software design?

  1. A.Coupling is a measure of the degree of functional interdependence between two modules
  2. B.Coupling is a measure of the degree of functional non-dependence between two modules
  3. C.Coupling is a measure of the functional robustness of a software module
  4. D.Coupling is a measure of the degree of functionally connected dependence between two modules
Show answer
Correct answer: A. Coupling is a measure of the degree of functional interdependence between two modules

If one module must know the internal data or logic of another to work, the two are tightly coupled, and a change in one forces a change in the other.

Q2751.Computer AwarenessEasy

Which phase of the software development life cycle produces the Software Requirements Specification (SRS)?

  1. A.Requirement gathering and analysis
  2. B.Design
  3. C.Coding
  4. D.Maintenance
Show answer
Correct answer: A. Requirement gathering and analysis

This is the first phase of the SDLC: the team meets the users, records what the system must do and what constraints apply, and sets it all down in the Software Requirements Specification, which then becomes the agreed basis for everything that follows and the yardstick for acceptance testing.

Q2752.Computer AwarenessAsked in: Delhi · 7 Aug 2021, Shift 1Medium

What is the other name of Linear Sequential model in software engineering?

  1. A.Spiral model
  2. B.Prototype model
  3. C.Waterfall model
  4. D.RAD model
Show answer
Correct answer: C. Waterfall model

The Waterfall model is called the linear sequential model because the project flows in one direction through requirement analysis, design, coding, testing, deployment and maintenance, with each phase completed and signed off before the next begins and no overlap between them.

Q2754.Computer AwarenessEasy

The word algorithm is derived from the name of which mathematician?

  1. A.Euclid
  2. B.Al-Khwarizmi
  3. C.Charles Babbage
  4. D.Blaise Pascal
Show answer
Correct answer: B. Al-Khwarizmi

Muhammad ibn Musa al-Khwarizmi was a ninth-century Persian mathematician and astronomer whose treatise on calculation with Hindu-Arabic numerals reached Europe in Latin translation; his Latinised name produced the word algorithm, and another of his works gave the word algebra.

Q2755.Computer AwarenessEasy

In a flowchart, the oval or rounded shape is used to show:

  1. A.Start and Stop
  2. B.A subroutine call
  3. C.A decision
  4. D.The direction of flow
Show answer
Correct answer: A. Start and Stop

The oval is the terminal symbol, and a well-formed flowchart has exactly one Start terminal and at least one Stop terminal; a chart that can never reach a Stop describes an infinite loop and so breaks the finiteness property of an algorithm.

Q2760.Art & CultureMedium

Which UNESCO programme is concerned with the protection of documentary heritage such as manuscripts and archives?

  1. A.World Heritage List
  2. B.Memory of the World
  3. C.Representative List of Intangible Cultural Heritage
  4. D.Creative Cities Network
Show answer
Correct answer: B. Memory of the World

The Memory of the World Programme protects documentary heritage, which means manuscripts, archives, maps, printed material, photographs and sound and film recordings, and it keeps an International Register, regional registers and national registers.
