At the competitive exam that was recently given by multiple exam boards, current affairs were comparatively more frequently brought up as a topic for questions. Because current events must be included in all competitive tests, including those for Bank PO/Clerks, SSCs, and entrance exams like the CA, among others, they are essential for students and hopefuls who want to pass important exams.
In both the preliminary and main Bank PO exams during the past few years, current affairs was the subject of more than half of the questions. The inclusion of additional current events questions in several entrance tests has been officially stated.
Because test formats are frequently changed, Vidya Guru, the Centre for Best bank exam coaching in Delhi, creates content that is fully centred around the most recent exam pattern. As a result, everything we teach you will be entirely applicable to your tests. Our YouTube channel hosts all of the content that our faculty members publish as Online Video Lectures. Also, you can review and assess what you have learned with the tests that our subject matter experts have designed. By taking the quiz offered below, let’s get started on our goal for today, which is to increase our general awareness.
