Static GK decides most of the General Studies score in the Madhya Pradesh exams. The SSE Prelims General Studies paper of 300 marks has ten units: History of India, Geography of India, the Constitutional System, the Economy, Science, Environment and Health, and Information and Communication Technology on the national side, and History, Culture and Literature, Geography, and Tribes of Madhya Pradesh on the state side, with MP parts inside the polity and economy units too. The Mains General Studies papers go deeper into the same areas, and the MPESB Group-2 test asks General Knowledge and Aptitude alongside General Science. 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: Indian Polity, Ancient, Medieval and Modern History, Geography, the Economy and General Science. GK24 does not have a separate Madhya Pradesh GK section. As guidance, read the national notes here, and study MP dynasties, tribes, rivers, districts, schemes and the state economy from state government sources, using the MPPSC syllabus as a checklist. After each topic, solve its quiz and previous-year questions on this site to test what you retained.
