Agniveer GK Questions 2026

Static GK is the larger half of the General Knowledge section in the Agniveer exams. The Army's syllabus asks about India and its neighbouring countries, especially History, Culture, Geography and who's who, and adds abbreviations, terminology, the Indian Armed Forces, continents and sub-continents, inventions and discoveries, the Constitution of India, international organisations, and books and authors. General Science is a separate subject of 15 questions in General Duty and Tradesmen: school-level Physics, Chemistry and Biology, with the human body, cells and tissues, plants and animals, and common epidemics named in the syllabus. The Army says questions may come from outside the list, but within the CBSE syllabus, so school textbooks set the level. This page holds GK24's topic-wise GK notes for Agniveer, written as short facts and tables in English and Hindi, so that a topic can be revised in one sitting. Start with Indian History, Geography and Indian Polity for the General Knowledge section, then the General Science notes, and add Sports GK, Awards and Honours and Books and Authors. After each topic, solve its quiz on this site to check what stayed in memory, and come back to the notes you got wrong.
