You\u2019ll see questions from static general knowledge, such as history, geography, economics, and along with that, it consists of good weightage from current affairs. One thing to watch out for is the heavy focus on government-related questions. On top of that, there will be questions related to recent events, freedom struggle heroes, and important awards.

Geometry and divisibility rules tend to be emphasized more, so make sure you\u2019re comfortable with those. There\u2019s also some data interpretation, though the exact number of questions isn\u2019t clear.
