Competitive examinations including the law entrance tests known as CLAT, AILET, CET and those conducted by Universities such as DU, AMU, BHU, Allahabad, Jamia Millia Islamia, invariably contain a fairly large section to test the candidate’s knowledge of static general knowledge and current affairs. In CLAT questions on current affairs are based on the events of the past one year. However, there is no such prescribed pattern for other law entrance tests and other competitive examinations. Out of the 175 questions of DU’s All-India Annual Law Entrance Test, a large number of questions are based on current affairs. In fact, questions such as identifying the Dean of its law faculty have also been asked. In short, the pattern of questions can never be predicted. As far as the institutions and organizations are concerned, you have to acquaint yourself with the history and details of the present incumbents of important posts. You can extract these details from the respective websites before you take the examinations. This habit will give you an edge over your peers, particularly in personality/viva-voce tests. While a thorough knowledge of the original NCERT text books and other Boards, regular reading of at least one national newspaper and listening to the news bulletins of All India Radio are no substitute for this particular section, the book in your hands will acquaint you with basic facts relating to our country, its rich history, its surroundings and other useful details. It is a basic compilation of relevant facts on which questions are framed frequently in almost all the competitive examinations. Abbreviations and terms originally culled out from the Economic Surveys, India-Year Books, leading national dailies such as Economic Times, the Economist etc., thousands of MCQs at the end of the relevant chapters make this book a must read for every candidate appearing for competitive examinations. The previous year questions asked in CLAT, AILET and also in Delhi University law entrance examinations make it even more indispensable for law aspirants. I-7 I-8 PREFACE The royalty of this book is dedicated to Yuva Foundation, a welfare arm of Delhi Police for the welfare and educational activities of underprivileged youth as I am of the firm belief that I being a privileged citizen of this great country, owe certain individual responsibilities to make it a better nation.
