Static GK decides most of the score in RAS and CET. The RAS Prelims syllabus lists Indian History from ancient times to 2000, Geography of the World and India, the Indian Constitution, Political System and Governance, Economic Concepts and the Indian Economy, and Science and Technology. Beside each sits a Rajasthan head: the history, art, culture, literature, tradition and heritage of Rajasthan, the geography of Rajasthan, the political and administrative system of Rajasthan, and the economy of Rajasthan. The CET syllabus follows the same plan at a simpler level, with Public Health, Computer Knowledge, General Hindi and General English added. This page holds GK24's topic-wise GK notes for the national part, written as short facts and tables in English and Hindi: Polity articles and constitutional bodies, the freedom struggle, rivers, soils, climate and minerals of India, budget and banking terms, and school-level science. GK24 does not have a separate Rajasthan GK section. Prepare Rajasthan's dynasties, Praja Mandal movements, forts, paintings, folk deities, fairs, districts, rivers, minerals and schemes from state sources, and use RPSC and RSSB question papers to see how they are asked. Read a note, then test yourself with the quiz and previous-year questions on this site.
