To excel in any competitive examination, General Awareness is one section that plays a crucial role in scoring maximum marks in the minimum amount of time. General Awareness mainly consists of a total of three sections, namely, Banking/General Awareness, Current Affairs and Static G.K. All the sections are equally important as they contribute to boosting the overall score.
When we speak about the weightage of each topic per section, Current affairs holds the majority of weightage followed by Static G.K and Banking Awareness. I have started a series on Static G.K in which a good number of topics are already covered and the rest are in the pipeline. You can cover your entire Static G.K section here.
Today’s article covers one of the most important topics in the Static G.K section i.e. List of Countries with their National Games. Questions from this section can be asked in the upcoming examination of SSC CHSL, SSC MTS, IBPS, SBI, and Railways examination. Just like the Static G.K series, I have also started a Banking Awareness series in which you will get important topics from Banking awareness that can be asked in the exams. Now let’s see the complete list of Countries with their National Games.
