SBI GK Questions 2026

The static part of the awareness test in SBI exams is banking and economy knowledge, which is why the PO Mains test is named General Awareness/ Economy/ Banking Knowledge and the Clerk Mains test General/ Financial Awareness. The sample questions in the Bank's booklet ask which institution introduced Know Your Customer norms, which sector drives State incomes, who led Operation Flood and what monetary policy is concerned with, and the real papers follow that line. The topics that recur are the RBI and its functions, monetary policy tools such as the repo rate, CRR and SLR, types of banks and accounts, NPAs, priority sector lending, KYC and anti-money-laundering rules, payment systems like UPI, NEFT and RTGS, banking terms and abbreviations, financial regulators such as SEBI, IRDAI and PFRDA, development institutions such as NABARD and SIDBI, the Union Budget and the Economic Survey, GDP, inflation and national income, and government schemes for financial inclusion, insurance and pensions. A few questions ask plain static GK: headquarters and heads, currencies and capitals, and dates in banking history. 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. Read a topic, then solve its quiz and the SBI previous-year questions on this site to see what you retained.

  1. A.Designing web pages
  2. B.Working with databases
  3. C.Writing operating systems
  4. D.Editing images
Show answer

  2. B.Brendan Eich
  3. C.Niklaus Wirth
  4. D.John Backus
Show answer

He designed Python in the Netherlands and released the first version in 1991, choosing a syntax with indentation instead of braces so that programs would be easy to read; the name comes from a television comedy series and not from the snake.

Q1207.Computer AwarenessMedium

Which of the following is NOT a programming language?

  1. A.Python
  2. B.HTML
  3. C.Java
  4. D.C++
Show answer
Correct answer: B. HTML

HyperText Markup Language uses tags to describe how the content of a web page is arranged, such as headings, paragraphs, lists, tables and images, but it has no variables, no conditions and no loops, so it cannot express logic or take decisions; for that reason it is called a markup…

Machine language, the first generation of programming languages, is written using:

  1. A.English words
  2. B.Mnemonics such as ADD and MOV
  3. C.The binary digits 0 and 1
  4. D.Query statements
Show answer
Correct answer: C. The binary digits 0 and 1

Machine language is the only language the processor understands directly, because each instruction is a pattern of electrical states that is written as a string of zeros and ones; a program in machine language therefore needs no translation and runs fastest, but it is tied to one processor and is…

  1. A.Compiler
  2. B.Interpreter
  3. C.Assembler

Q1215.Indian EconomyMedium

A sustained rise in the production of capital goods within the IIP is generally read as a sign of:

  1. A.Rising consumer demand for everyday items
  2. B.A revival of investment activity in the economy
  3. C.Improving export competitiveness
  4. D.Rising inflation in industrial goods
Show answer
Correct answer: B. A revival of investment activity in the economy

Capital goods are machines, plant and equipment that are bought not to be consumed but to produce other goods, and a firm orders them only when it expects demand to grow enough to justify adding capacity.

Q1216.Indian EconomyEasy

The Index of Industrial Production is best described as:

  1. A.A price index of industrial goods
  2. B.A volume index of industrial output
  3. C.An index of employment in industry
  4. D.An index of the profits of industrial firms
Show answer
Correct answer: B. A volume index of industrial output

The IIP compares the physical quantity of goods produced in a month with the quantity produced in the base year, taking a weighted average of those quantity relatives, so it rises only when more is actually made and is untouched by a change in prices.

Q1217.Indian EconomyHard

Under the use-based classification of the Index of Industrial Production, which category carries the largest weight?

  1. A.Capital goods
  2. B.Primary goods
  3. C.Consumer durables
  4. D.Intermediate goods
Show answer
Correct answer: B. Primary goods

Primary goods in this classification are the output of mining, crude oil and natural gas extraction and electricity generation, that is goods that enter production before any manufacturing has been done to them, so the category naturally carries the largest share.

Q1219.Indian EconomyMedium

Which of the eight core industries carries the lowest weight in the core sector index?

  1. A.Fertilisers
  2. B.Cement
  3. C.Natural gas
  4. D.Crude oil
Show answer
Correct answer: A. Fertilisers

Fertiliser output is important for agriculture and is watched before every sowing season, but the value of the industry's production is small beside refining or steel, which is why its weight is light and a big percentage swing in fertilisers barely moves the combined index.
