Static GK fills most of Part-B of the SSC GD Computer Based Examination. The GD 2026 notice lists the areas as History, Culture, Geography, Economic Scene, General Polity, Indian Constitution, Scientific Research and Sports, relating to India and its neighbouring countries, and says the questions need no special study of any discipline. That is the key to preparing it: the questions are of Matriculation level and ask for the fact, not the analysis. Polity asks which Article deals with a right, how many Schedules the Constitution has, who appoints a Governor, or the tenure of the Rajya Sabha. History asks about the Mauryas, the Guptas, the Mughals, the 1857 revolt, the Congress sessions and the movements of Gandhi. Geography asks about rivers and their tributaries, States and their capitals, national parks, soils, passes and the countries on India's borders. The Economy part asks about the Budget, the RBI, taxes and schemes; Science asks about vitamins, units, gases, the human body and everyday physics; Sports asks about trophies, venues and players. This page holds GK24's topic-wise GK notes for SSC GD, written in short facts and tables in Hindi and English so a topic can be revised in one sitting. Read a note, then solve the previous-year questions and the quiz on that topic on this site to see what stayed.
