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.

IBPS GK Questions with Answers

Q7143.Government SchemesHard

The anti-drug strategy of the Ministry rests on the findings of the first National Survey on Substance Use, which was conducted by which body?

  1. A.National Crime Records Bureau
  2. B.National Drug Dependence Treatment Centre at AIIMS, New Delhi
  3. C.Narcotics Control Bureau
  4. D.Indian Council of Medical Research
Show answer
Correct answer: B. National Drug Dependence Treatment Centre at AIIMS, New Delhi

The release explains that the Ministry runs a comprehensive and evidence-based strategy under the National Action Plan for Drug Demand Reduction, and that the strategy is based on the findings of the first National Survey on the Extent and Pattern of Substance Use in India, carried out by that centre.

Q7145.Government SchemesEasy

When was the Nasha Mukt Bharat Abhiyaan launched?

  1. A.2 October 2019
  2. B.15 August 2020
  3. C.26 January 2021
  4. D.1 April 2022
Show answer
Correct answer: B. 15 August 2020

The release states that the Union Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment launched the Nasha Mukt Bharat Abhiyaan on that date to combat the demand for drugs in the country, which is why the campaign is now marking its sixth anniversary with a National Mass Pledge Against Drug Abuse.

Q7146.Science & TechnologyHard

Which structural arrangement is the fundamental requirement for piezoelectricity, according to the study?

  1. A.A centrosymmetric crystal structure
  2. B.An amorphous structure with no order
  3. C.A non-centrosymmetric structure
  4. D.A body-centred cubic structure
Show answer
Correct answer: C. A non-centrosymmetric structure

The release explains that controlled chiral self-assembly aligns the molecular dipoles into such a structure, and calls it a fundamental structural requirement for piezoelectricity.

Q7147.Science & TechnologyMedium

How did the researchers switch on a strong piezoelectric response in the peptide material?

  1. A.By changing the chemical composition of the peptide
  2. B.By adding one per cent of a suitable co-solvent
  3. C.By coating the peptide with a ceramic layer
  4. D.By heating the peptide above 500 degrees Celsius
Show answer
Correct answer: B. By adding one per cent of a suitable co-solvent

The team found that in water the peptide molecules form nanofibers and show no piezoelectric response. Introducing just that small share of a co-solvent reorganised the molecules into a highly ordered supramolecular arrangement, and the piezoelectric response switched on at once.

Q7148.Science & TechnologyMedium

Which institute led the research that made peptides strongly piezoelectric?

  1. A.Centre for Nano and Soft Matter Sciences, Bengaluru
  2. B.Indian Institute of Science Education and Research, Kolkata
  3. C.Jawaharlal Nehru Centre for Advanced Scientific Research
  4. D.Indian Institute of Chemical Technology, Hyderabad
Show answer
Correct answer: A. Centre for Nano and Soft Matter Sciences, Bengaluru

The release names it as the institute whose researchers took up peptides, and the work was led there by Dr Goutam Ghosh with his doctoral scholar Aparna Ramesh.

Q7149.Awards & HonoursHard

The Green Highways Excellence Awards were instituted by NHAI as mandated in which policy?

  1. A.National Highways Development Policy, 2011
  2. B.Green Highways Policy, 2015
  3. C.National Green Corridor Policy, 2018
  4. D.Bharatmala Plantation Policy, 2022
Show answer
Correct answer: B. Green Highways Policy, 2015

The release states that NHAI instituted the awards in 2025 as mandated in that policy, and describes them as reinforcing the Authority's commitment to joining environmental sustainability with the development of the National Highway network.

Q7155.InternationalHard

Which of these was NOT signed or launched during the Belgian Prime Minister's visit to India?

  1. A.Letter of Intent between the two Defence Ministries
  2. B.MoU between the Central Bureau of Investigation and Belgium's Federal Police
  3. C.India-Belgium Civil Nuclear Liability Treaty
  4. D.India-Belgium Investment Fast-Track Mechanism
Show answer
Correct answer: C. India-Belgium Civil Nuclear Liability Treaty

The joint statement lists what was actually concluded. A Letter of Intent was signed between the Defence Ministries of the two countries, giving a framework for staff talks, training, education, research and defence-industrial partnerships, and building on an understanding the two Defence Ministers reached in March 2025.
