Brief Information: SSC CGL preparation strategy for general awareness requires an approach that is different from the one required for other sections. In this article, we will discuss the strategy for the preparation of important schemes, portfolios, and people in news from the general awareness section.

Important Schemes


The fact that multiple questions are asked from this topic makes it the most important part of general awareness for SSC CGL 2020, bank and railways exam. The government launches many schemes for the development and growth of the country and the citizens. So, it is important to keep yourself updated about the latest schemes and initiatives.


-Read newspaper or monthly current affairs magazine regularly and note down information about any new scheme launched by the government.


  1. Make notes on A4 size sheets as it is very convenient to add or update new information about any scheme.
  2. Divide your notes into different sections according to the field that the scheme or initiative caters to. For example, make different categories like farmers and rural development schemes, youth development scheme, girl child scheme, etc, and write down the related schemes under these categories. This will not only make your notes well organized but will also help in quick revision.


The questions in the exam can be asked like this-


Question: Which scheme aims to double the income of farmers by the end of 2022?

(a)Ayushman Bharat

(b)Operation Green

(c)Pradhan Mantri Kisan SAMPADA Yojana

(d)None of these

The answer is (b) Operation Green.


Portfolios


Some government posts are created under the Constitution of India and the candidate is required to remember the qualifications, functions, powers, duties, appointment and removal procedure of these posts. The posts included are Attorney General of India, Advocate General of India, Comptroller and Auditor General of India and special officers for linguistic minorities. You also need to look out for some additional information regarding these posts that you will come by in the newspaper or by attempting quizzes of this topic.


The best thing about this topic is that the information is fixed and rarely changes which makes it easier to remember all the facts. You just need to note them down or take a print out and keep revising them regularly.


The questions in the exam can be asked like this-

Questions: How many Attorney Generals of India have been appointed by the government to date?

(a)12

(b)13

(c)14

(d)15

The correct answer is (d) 15.


People in News


In this section, questions about national and international personalities will be asked. The topics that will be covered are appointments, award winners, foreign dignitaries visiting India, Indian dignitaries visiting abroad, etc. Since this is an exhaustive topic, you need to prepare it meticulously. Regular revision and quizzes will help you get accustomed to the kind of questions asked. Again, regularly reading the newspaper and making notes will be highly effective in preparing this topic.


The questions in the exam can be asked like this-

Question: Who has recently been appointed the Prime Minister of Iraq?

(a)Barham Salih

(b)Mohammad Allawi

(c)Ahmed Matiq

(d)None of these

The correct answer is Mohammad Allawi.


SSC CGL notification states that the Tier 1 exam will be held between March 2 to March 11, 2020. This doesn't leave candidates with much time. Make sure you strictly follow your SSC CGL preparation strategy because consistency and hard work is the key to crack this exam.
