The 2026 notice says it tests awareness of your surroundings, current events, everyday science, and India and its neighbours: sports, history, culture, geography, economy, polity and the Constitution.
Below are six practice questions on static facts, written for this page and checked against the official texts. They are not from a past paper. Current events change every cycle, so read a daily newspaper for that part.

How Part B Tests You, and the Trap
GK questions take seconds to answer if you know them, and no amount of thinking helps if you do not. The trap is neighbouring facts: Article 17 against 18, one force against another, two awards in the same field. Options are often built from the fact right next to the correct one.
Part B is also the second tie-breaker after reasoning. Revise in small, repeated doses, a few facts a day, and test yourself the next morning. With 0.25 marks lost per wrong answer, skip a GK question you truly do not know rather than guess between two close options blindly.
