CUET GAT 2026 | GK and Current Affairs Exam Pattern and Strategy | कहाँ से कितने Questions आते हैं📖

The speaker explains the CUET exam's three sections: Language, Domain, and General Test. The General Test includes Logical Reasoning, Quantitative Aptitude, and GK & Current Affairs, with the latter contributing 15-20 questions out of 50. Unlike domain subjects with defined syllabi, GK and Current Affairs lack a clear official syllabus, requiring candidates to rely on previous year questions (PYQs) for understanding weightage.

The video breaks down GK topics based on PYQs. Polity typically has 2-4 questions, focusing on constitutional aspects rather than political events. History has 1-3 questions, with significant parts being Ancient History (Indus Valley, Buddhism, Gupta Empire), minimal Medieval History (Mughal Empire, Delhi Sultanate), and Modern History (focus on figures like Gandhi, Subhash Chandra Bose, Bhagat Singh, Ambedkar). Geography (2-3 questions) is often current affairs-driven, emphasizing rivers, climate, soil, and world geography basics like the Strait of Hormuz. Economics (1-2 questions) focuses on Indian economy, manufacturing, services, agriculture, and basic concepts like GDP. General Science covers topics up to 10th grade, like human anatomy. Current Affairs is a significant section with 5-8 questions, and its weight varies across shifts. The speaker advises against reading newspapers and instead suggests focusing on notes due to time constraints.

A detailed list of important topics for each subject is provided. For Indian Polity, key areas include the Indian Constitution's features, Fundamental Rights and Duties, Panchayati Raj, and constitutional amendments. For History, specific focus areas in Ancient include Indus Valley Civilization, Gupta Empire, Mauryan Empire, Buddhism, and Jainism. In Medieval, basic knowledge of the Mughal Empire and Delhi Sultanate is sufficient. Modern History emphasizes key historical figures and their movements. World History only requires a basic understanding of World Wars I & II and the Cold War. Art and Culture includes classical and folk dances. Economics focuses on Indian economy, national income, GDP, and the upcoming census data. Geography covers rivers, climate, soil, and basic world geography concepts relevant to current events.

The speaker outlines a four-phase preparation strategy. Phase 1 (Days 1-4): Understand the subject by attending classes (like the daily 8 AM current affairs class) and distinguishing between news and current affairs relevant to the exam. Phase 2 (Days 5-20): Cover major subjects like Polity, Geography, History, and Science & Technology, including revision and practice questions. Current affairs should be studied concurrently. Phase 3 (Days 21-30): Focus on smaller, fact-based topics like books and authors, awards, sports, and appointments, as intense pressure aids retention. Phase 4 (Days 31-40): Concentrate on rigorous revision of all topics and taking mock tests. The speaker stresses the importance of at least three revisions for every topic and maintaining a 'mistake copy' for analyzing errors (conceptual, silly, or knowledge gaps) to improve performance.
