General Awareness Questions for SSC and DSSSB

What this section tests

General awareness holds two kinds of knowledge that age differently. History, polity, geography and science stay true. Current affairs is true only until the next appointment, award or scheme change. The two need practising differently: current affairs by recency, the rest by repetition.

What is in this bank, by topic

The largest groups are Current Affairs (91, 39%), General Science (52, 22%), Polity & Economy (44, 19%). A current-affairs answer here was right on the day its paper was set. The source table on this page tells you which paper a group of questions came from, and so how old the fact is.

Grouped by keyword on 16.09.2026, one topic per question. A question on the boundary of two topics can sit in either group, so read this as a guide. The live total above can be higher, because questions are added after this count.

Where these questions come from

A question from a DSSSB paper carries DSSSB's own answer; a practice-pool question carries ours.
