State Exams GK Questions 2026

Static GK is the largest part of General Studies in every state exam, and most of it is national. Indian polity, history and the national movement, geography of India, the Indian economy and general science appear in the syllabus of UPPSC PCS and PET, BPSC and BSSC, RPSC and RSSB, MPPSC and MPESB, HPSC and HSSC, and DSSSB and Delhi Police. The level changes from exam to exam. PET sets its subjects at NCERT secondary and senior secondary level, BSSC asks matric-level science, and RPSC sets the RAS Prelims at Bachelor's degree standard. This page brings together GK24's topic-wise GK notes tagged for state exams. Each note covers one topic in English and Hindi, as short facts and tables that can be revised in one sitting, and ends with multiple-choice questions and explanations. Start with Polity, History and Geography, then move to the Economy and Science. GK24 does not have state GK sections. As guidance, use these notes for the national part and prepare your state's history, geography, culture, economy and schemes from state board textbooks, the state budget and economic survey, and the commission's past papers. After each note, take its topic quiz and mark what you got wrong.
