really very good blog......
ReplyDeletecan u plz tell from where I can study GK for NICL officers exam.........suggest any good book or site.......thanks
Thank you for the compliment Gayathri. In General it is best advised to refer HINDU or any leading news papers regularly for current affairs. But, if you need ready made current affairs collected from leading papers with proper explanation, then I would suggest you to prefer jagranjosh.com or gktoday.in . Both these sites update current affairs on daily basis. In exams like banking or insurance, you also need to have some glimpse on economic facts. For this I suggest you buy Pratyogita darpan General Studies Economics Special Issue published by upkar publications. Though it is designed for Civil Service examination, candidates preparing for banking, insurance sector and other general competitive exams can also make use of it.
