GS= General Science

GK= General knowledge

GA= General awareness

An exam syllabus may have GK or GA. There is a great difference between these two terms.

  • General science

General science comprises Biology, Physics and chemistry. And maybe history and geography.

  • General awareness

General awareness means the incidents that are related to science, invention, politics, sports, internet, networking, environment, awards, recognitions, positions, films, arts and whatever happens in this world. Which clearly shows that general awareness has no fixed boundary. General awareness is the trickiest and luckiest part to score.

Since there is no perfect syllabus for General awareness, it is better to learn from the yearbooks of present and previous years. I found the General awareness capsule by Disha Experts very helpful myself.

You can buy it from your local store or through Amazon or Flipkart.

  • General knowledge

General knowledge will have both general awareness and general science.

In short if in a syllabus they are pointing to general knowledge that means it has both general science and general awareness.
