General Awareness (Tier 1)

The General Awareness is one of the most crucial sections of the SSC CGL examination. The questions from this section are purely based on the Static and Current knowledge of the candidates. The candidates who have a clear idea of the question asked can only form a correct sequence; otherwise, they may make a mess out of it. This section accounts for around 25 questions in the Tier I examination and 25 questions in the Tier II examination based on the new pattern.

 

The candidates are required to show their understanding skills to ace the section.
