State-wise · statewise GK

Your state, on its own pages

The history, geography, polity, schemes and current affairs of one state — kept entirely separate from the national bank, so what you practise is what your paper asks and nothing else.

Preparing for a state paper

State GK is half the paper, not all of it

Nearly every state recruitment paper pairs its state section with a general-studies section. Preparing one and assuming the other will follow is the most common way to miss a cut-off.

The state section

Rivers, districts, dynasties, schemes, festivals and the state's own administrative structure — the part no national set covers.

The general section

Indian polity and history, general science, reasoning and quantitative aptitude. Practise subject-wise.

No cross-contamination

A state's questions never appear in the national sets, and the national sets never appear inside a state's. Both stay honest.

Questions about state-wise practice

Why is state GK separate from the national question bank?
Because mixing them wastes your time in both directions. A railway or SSC candidate has no reason to be drilled on one state’s districts, and a state-police or state-PCS candidate is asked about little else. State questions appear on that state’s pages only and never leak into the national sets.
What does a state set cover?
The things a state paper actually asks: the state’s history and dynasties, its geography — rivers, districts, soils, national parks — its polity and administrative structure, its economy and major schemes, its art, culture and festivals, and its current affairs.
I am sitting a state exam. Do I still need the national subjects?
Yes. Almost every state recruitment paper carries a general-studies section alongside the state section — general science, reasoning, quantitative aptitude, Indian polity and history. The usual mistake is to prepare one and assume the other will take care of itself.
Are the state sets available in Hindi?
Wherever the source paper was set in both languages, yes. For the Hindi-belt states in particular, a large share of the questions come from Hindi-medium papers and are shown exactly as they were printed.
