The section of general knowledge is not narrow. It is highly broad and basically generic. There is no horizon at which you may stop. Because of this, preparation for the GK and current affairs portion should start well in advance. Other areas can be covered, but if you save this one for last, it will take a lot of time. Therefore, it’s crucial to tackle this section strategically and with a clear goal. You can cover important topics by organising your strategy and planning carefully.
We post the best YouTube videos as the nation’s centre for the Best Online Bank PO Coaching Classes, which makes preparing for any competitive exam a breeze.
