Current Affairs which is a part of the General Awareness section of a majority of Banking, Government and Insurance exams is one of the scoring sections. Also, unlike Quantitative Aptitude & Reasoning, there is no calculation required to answer the question. Often, this section is considered difficult by aspirants as there is no specific syllabus from which questions can be asked. In the current affairs section, questions can be asked on any topic which has been in news for the past 6-7 months.
