Static GK decides the General Awareness score in SSC MTS. The 2025 notice keeps the syllabus at the 10th Standard: History, Geography, Art and Culture, Civics and Economics under Social Studies, General Science and Environmental Studies. Most of the 25 questions in Session-II come from these areas. History asks the Harappan sites, the Mauryas and Guptas, the Sultanate and Mughal rulers and the freedom movement. Geography asks rivers, soils, crops, minerals, national parks, States, capitals and neighbours. Civics asks the Constitution's Parts, Schedules and Articles, Fundamental Rights and Duties, the President, Parliament, the Supreme Court and local government. Economics asks basic terms, the RBI, taxes and schemes. General Science covers Class 6 to 10 Physics, Chemistry and Biology, and Environmental Studies asks ecosystems, pollution and conservation. This page holds GK24's topic-wise GK notes for SSC MTS, written as short facts and tables at exactly that level so a topic can be finished in one sitting and revised in ten minutes. Read a topic, then solve its previous-year questions and quiz on this site to see what stayed with you, and keep the notes for the last-week revision before the CBE.
