If you wish to work for a government bank, you should focus on recent events that are relevant to the competitive exam you have chosen. For instance, you should focus on current events involving the ministries and departments of the Indian government if you are preparing for the SSC. On the other hand, if you are preparing for exams like Bank PO or IBPS, you should focus on business, the economy, bank policies, etc. One thing needs to be made clear: even while we advocate studying current affairs related to your field of study, you should also stay current on other issues. Keep an eye out for events happening throughout the world as much as you can.
