Scope and Importance of General Knowledge

Every competitive exam in India and the world over invariably has a section on General Knowledge. It is impossible to ace any prestigious qualifying exam without having a good grasp of General Knowledge. So, why is General Knowledge so important for people who aspire to land the best jobs or positions in any organization or system?
General Knowledge, or Samanya Gyan in Hindi, is basically the knowledge of every aspect of human life. It is definitely not a discipline in which you can acquire all the knowledge by reading a few books or acquiring a degree. It is the knowledge you attain by being aware of your surroundings. The major aspects of the human life like arts, politics, culture, sports, technology, history, medicine, etc. combine to form a single domain which can, to a certain extent, be termed as General Knowledge.
However, the scope and importance of General Knowledge span way beyond answering the questions in a quiz or some exam. Your up-to-date general knowledge becomes a reflection of your personality and people around you judge you based on your grasp on the current affairs and day-to-day happenings.
General Knowledge helps us to grow as an individual both at the personal and academic level. Having an in-depth knowledge of the various affairs of the world broadens our horizons and elevates our thinking to a level where the world seems to be a better place.
Our confidence level also gets a great boost as we are able to interact with anyone on any given topic. Our knowledge determines our impression on the other person and lets us gain respect in the society. On the academic front, General Knowledge helps us immensely as almost all the competitive exams consist of a large number of questions based on it. For the most prestigious qualifying exams in the country i.e. the Civil Services Exams, one needs to be thorough with General Knowledge and Current Affairs. These questions carry a high weightage as compared to other subjects and must be answered with precision in order to crack the exams. The interviews are a litmus test for candidates who have to answer all sorts of questions about Current Affairs which they can only answer if they have updated knowledge about the latest happenings around the world.

Pratiyogita Darpan offers many good books and magazines for competitive exams that offer a sure shot way to enhance your General Knowledge and awareness about the Current Affairs. They also have books like Samanya Gyan in Hindi that the students can purchase online from www.pdgroup.in.
