Static GK decides the General Awareness score in SSC CGL. Of the 25 questions in Tier-I and the 25 in Tier-II Paper-I, most come from Indian Polity, History, Geography, the Economy and General Science, the areas the CGL 2026 notice lists as History, Culture, Geography, Economic Scene, General Policy and Scientific Research relating to India and its neighbouring countries.
