Defence | BSF Head Constable (RO/RM)
General Awareness appears in the BSF Head Constable (RO/RM) syllabus below. The official pattern does not break it into its own timed section, so treat the whole topic list as fair game.
This is the most scoring section per minute because there is nothing to work out — you either know it or you do not. Banking and current affairs of the last six months dominate, so a steady daily habit beats last-minute cramming, and static facts (polity, history, geography) fill the rest.
Every topic in the official syllabus. The linked ones open a set of solved questions you can practise straight away.
Written to the BSF Head Constable (RO/RM) pattern, with the answer key and the method behind it — a look at how the section is actually set before you drill the full topic sets.
