In competitive exams like CLAT and CUET, General Knowledge (GK) and Current Affairs can make or break your score. Unlike Quant or Verbal, GK requires regular exposure and consistent revision. A one-time cram session before the exam rarely works.

At Career Launcher South Ex, Delhi, we train aspirants to build a daily GK habit that sticks — using mini quizzes, note-taking, and smart revision to make learning seamless and stress-free.

Why a Daily GK Habit Matters

  • Steady Knowledge Retention: Smaller, regular doses beat last-minute cramming.
  • Exam Relevance: CLAT and CUET both test recent events + static GK.
  • Confidence in Mocks: Familiarity with topics boosts accuracy and speed.
  • Interview Readiness: A strong GK base also helps in Group Discussions and interviews.

Step 1: Fix Your GK Sources

  • Newspapers: The Hindu / Indian Express (focus on editorials & national/international news).
  • Monthly Compilations: Government reports, PIB updates, standard magazines.
  • Online Quizzes: Weekly current affairs quizzes from trusted education portals.

Step 2: Use Mini Quizzes Daily

  • Dedicate 15–20 minutes every day to a GK quiz.
  • Focus on a mix of current affairs + static GK.
  • Track your scores to see progress.

Example: Monday – National & International News Tuesday – Legal & Constitutional GK Wednesday – Science & Environment Thursday – Awards & Sports Friday – Economics & Business Saturday – Mix & Revision Sunday – Mock GK quiz

Step 3: Note-Taking That Works

  • One-Page Daily Notes: Summarize 5–7 key points of the day.
  • Use Headings & Bullet Points: Easier to revise later.
  • Color Codes: Different colors for Legal GK, International News, Government Schemes, etc.
  • Weekly Consolidation: Every Sunday, compile your notes into a single file or notebook.

Step 4: Active Recall & Spaced Revision

  • Test yourself on old notes weekly — don’t just read.
  • Use flashcards or apps like Quizlet to shuffle questions.
  • Apply the “Two-Week Rule” — revisit each topic at least twice before exam day.

Sample Daily GK Mini Quiz

  1. Who is the current Chief Election Commissioner of India?
  2. Which country recently became the newest member of BRICS?
  3. Name the chairperson of the 16th Finance Commission.
  4. What is the theme of the latest UN Climate Conference (COP)?
  5. Which Indian city will host the 2030 Asian Games?
