CGL mein questions ab sirf basic static GK tak limited nahi hain. Sports mein statement-based questions, old games ki dates/venues, awards, Presidential Awards, GST Articles, IVC, Five-Year Plans, economic concepts, etc. se questions aa rahe hain. Har shift mein 2–3 questions in areas se dekhne ko mil rahe hain.
