Here is the Model Questions on GK for Staff Selection Commission CGL Level Exam 2015. SSC has scheduled CGL Exam for August 2015 and many candidates least concentrate on GK thinking that they will not get any questions from GK however hard they study. That’s not true. The only way to score in GK is to read as much as GK as you can. Because scoring high in GK can make a difference in your selection.

Don’t worry about GK. We are here to help. We are posting questions asked in previous CGL exams, so that you can get an idea of how the questions will be asked. Follow us regularly. Reading some good books for GK will also help. We recommend you Lucent's General Knowledge (English) 5th Edition.
