GKpedia (What is it?)

Hi guys,

I have been flooded with request on posting something on how to prepare for the GK section for various entrance examinations like SNAP,IIFT,TISS and Bank PO exams.This series of post aim at helping you make a template for various GK questions.

Before we begin this rather arduous journey let me warn you GK is like a vast ocean that has a begining but no end.Nevertheless it is worth a try.What say?

So let's begin.

Difference between GK and current affairs?
GK is static (doesn't change very often)
Current affairs changes quite often (sometimes every minute)

Most of the MBA entrance exams have questions on GK while the Bank PO exams have questions on current affairs.For the MBA aspirants current affairs is useful during their GDPI process.

These posts named 'GKpedia' would enable people to approach GK studing in a slightly structured manner (atleast that is the aim of this section).

How would GKpedia function?

I would be posting templates on various facets of GK on GKpedia regularly (hopefully) and would follow it up with a quiz on a monday of every week.The quiz along with the answers would be posted on this blog under the label GKpedia.

You are expected to read and collect information on the template and answer questions in the quiz. The objective of this excercise is to be as regular as possible with GK learning.

I promise you I'll try to make this learning process as interesting as possible (I can almost feel people yawning) , but trust me it is fascinating to know more  about the country you are an integral part of.

So let's get started with the first dose of GKpedia :)

Any comments or suggestions on the same are welcome,just post them in the comments section of this post.
