upcoming State PCS, PSU, SSC exams in mind.
For optimum results: copy paste this data in MS word (or separate excel
spreadsheets or onenote), then keep updating these tables from magazines and
newspapers until you get selected in your dream job. Otherwise firefighting
style of preparation e.g. once IBPS is over Ill not prepare current affairs until
I get some interview call letter/ some other exam notification=#epicfail.
If there are any additions, corrections, do post them in comments.
