    • i suggest you that,
    • gk is not a thing that you gain from book.
    • so, it is not the bookish knowledge.
    • you just follow the current news & FOLLOW THE DAILY NEWS FROM ANY WHERE,
    • YOU MAY FOLLOW THE MONOROMA YEAR BOOK FOR YOUR SATISFACTION.

    Hello,

    General awareness section carries 50 marks in the SSC CGL tier 1 examination.

    Since every single mark is so precious special importance should be given to each and every section.

    Wide reading is the only way to improve general awareness.

    There are a large number of general knowledge books available in the market.

    Books for preparation.

    General Knowledge Encyclopedia - Alok Gupta

    General Knowledge Manual - UPSCPORTAL Editorial Board

    Modern General Knowledge - Ganesh

    General Knowledge, Current Affairs And Who's Who - Khanna, Varma

    Pratiyogita Darpan - Upkar Prakashan

    Regular newspaper reading is essential to get information about current events.


    Regards,
    adiljith.
