Static GK is the base of the General Awareness section in DSSSB and Delhi Police exams. DSSSB's syllabus lists History, Polity, the Constitution, Sports, Art and Culture, Geography, Economics, Everyday Science, Scientific Research and national and international organisations. SSC's Delhi Police notice lists Sports, History, Culture, Geography, Indian Economy, General Polity, the Indian Constitution and Scientific Research, with a focus on India and its neighbouring countries. Polity questions usually test articles, parts and schedules of the Constitution and constitutional bodies. History runs from ancient India to the freedom struggle. Geography covers rivers, soils, climate and national parks, and Science stays at school level. This page holds GK24's topic-wise GK notes, written as short facts and tables in English and Hindi so a topic can be revised in one sitting. They cover national GK. GK24 has no separate Delhi GK section, and neither notice gives Delhi GK a separate share of marks. As guidance, read one topic a day, revise it within a week, and check what stayed with the quiz and previous-year questions for that topic on this site.
