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.

So it becomes important to keep abreast of all the current affairs which are taking place. Aspirants who are preparing for SBI Clerk, SBI PO, SSC CGL etc. have to pull up their socks for this section. Good preparation in this section can give a good boost to your overall score and help you get that government job you’ve been aiming for. To help you with your Current Affairs preparation, we have come up with weekly compilations of current affairs. These weekly PDFs will help you with a systematic preparation of the current affairs section.
