Your Suggestions Required Please ….
It has been our tradition to incorporate our readers suggestions in our blog. Some of our readers keep suggesting the improvements on this blog. Here is what one of our regular reader who also closely watches the minor changes in our blog , says:
- The mega quiz arrangement is not fine, so Mega quizzes should be replaced with another arrangement.
- There should be a daily quiz on current affairs with 10 questions with related notes everyday thus a total of 260-300 questions every month on current affairs and further subdividing the quizzes in National, International, Sports, Business & Economy and Banking current affairs.
- Apart from this, the reader also wants me to reduce the number of the questions on quizzes from current number of 20 to 15 (and make a regular work, as it was our schedule a few months ago) other subjects like, Indian History, Geography, Polity, Constitution, Botany, Zoology and Chemistry.
- This reader wanted me to make an arrangement like this:
- Sunday: Keep for a model test paper for IAS or a break
- Monday: 10 questions on National Current Affairs + 15 questions on Indian History + 10 new words in vocabulary
- Tuesday: 10 Questions on International Current Affairs + 15 questions on Indian geography + 10 new words in vocabulary
- Wednesday : 10 Questions on Economy + 15 questions on World geography + 10 new words in vocabulary
- Thursday: 10 Questions on Banking + 15 questions on Botany & Zoology+ 10 new words in vocabulary
- Friday : 10 Questions on Sports + 15 Questions on Physics & Chemistry + 20 Questions on Computer Awareness
- Saturday: 15 questions on Indian Constitution + 20 questions on Marketing.
Apart from this Daily Updates in a very short and concise form are also demanded every day. The reader says that this arrangement if can be worked out, we can keep a balance within the reader community.
I would like you people to please suggest on this arrangement. You may leave your comments or send mail to [email protected]

Do not devote a day for particular subject like history or geography instead you can have quiz on it once in 15 days .majority of people who read this blog are preparing for bank PO or clerk exams which do not include history or geography questions…for them GA, computer , marketing ,vocab, grammar Will be more useful..so i request you to kindly consider or Bank po and clerk aspirants before making major changes to blog.

March 8, 2010 at 7:39 amSir, I really appreciate the fact that u r ready to consider our requests too before deciding on the issue..
but sir, I really feel that this pattern may be good, but do not change it immediately… since v had been accustomed to the way GKtoday usually runs, it would be a discomfort due to the sudden change.. but if a majority support this pattern, then u may go for it.. but my suggestio would be to wait till may end since then the IAS prelims exam will be over…

i agree with dis given suggestion(comment)completely.you must more consentrate on current affairs and english vocabulary coz only these are mostly asked in all kind of exms.
not all aspirants r intrested in other subjects,but current affairs and english are common to all.
quizes on perticular subject could be given within 15 or 20 days.

March 8, 2010 at 7:56 amplease never divide days subject wise,it would'nt be helpful for all readers.

March 8, 2010 at 7:56 amIts harsh move if you remove the history and geography questions from this blog.This blog mainly supports who are preparing civils and state exams rather than banks.

March 8, 2010 at 9:48 amya, sir. i am totally agree with first responder. The people, who are regular visitors of this blog are mainly PO or banking focused students. so if u include history, geography, science and allied subjects, it will be not much useful for them, so please do not include it. Before taking ur decision u should take a look the responders of current affair quiz, they are mostly giving exams of banking sector. ya, there are also some examines of MBA,and other general examination, but they must be considered as seasonal only. i request u to include the questions of GK,vocab, computer, marketing, finance, economics.
thanks

Dont make this blog for single examination pattern based I would suggest you to let users choose what they want. Keep its name as General Knowlegdge Today & if you want you can create separate section for IAS Exam students & povide them their required material. As Students prepairng for IAS will be much less than the students prepring for other Exams like PO,Bank,CDS,NDA etc.

March 8, 2010 at 11:59 amRightly said….we need more questions on pure PO based exam pattern..not much deviation from that. thanks

March 8, 2010 at 4:51 pmThe pattern is awesome …….. but don't reduce the no of questions . Atleast 20 should be there.
My suggestion is put vocabulary and Civils model test on sunday.
No need of three days.

March 8, 2010 at 9:14 pmI'm a regular reader of this gr8 site. At first thnx a lot for ur help…it's totally untrue that only bank or some specific exam oriented readers follow this. I'm a upsc aspirant. I informed many of my friends about ur site and from different stream they are getting help from u.
I think in every xm CURRENT AFFAIRS/ GK are very important and people face problem only in these. Common subjects are available in market by famous authors but CA/GK are not like that. I can tell you that max guys like ur CA/Gk portion & this is important too. Plz Dn't make ur site boring like some other website, where a particular pattern is followed with no new idea. u have made this in ur own unique way, plz keep it up. Everyone try to suggest in their own way and I think u r d best person to decide how to help us.. Thank you sir…

March 9, 2010 at 12:09 amSince I don't know what are the aspirations of individual readers…I won't comment who use this website more..bank aspirants or civil service oriented people….but I would sincerely request you not to shed your "area of specialty"…because then you'll love your job….It's not fair to expect everything from a single individual..so I would just say that you decide in which way you can benefit your readers to the max. You may include other sections as and when your time and energy permit…

March 9, 2010 at 2:18 amI will also prefer status quo. It takes more effort on your part in selecting and putting it up, than on our part in reading and assimilating. Let this site not be bound by the whims of the exams, which in anycase are open ended. Knowledge just for the bloody sake of it – that should be the mantra!
Democracy, taken to its limit, is mobocracy. Let there be no dilution of the high standards this site has set, just because people want to limit it by syllabi of exams!
When in doubt, follow the 'KISS' principle – 'Keep It Simple Stupid' :)

March 9, 2010 at 4:23 amSir,
I liked the pattern which you said….
Dont jus concentrate on one exam either PO's or Civics
keep it in such a way that it will be helpful for both ..bcoz if you giv importance to Po's ppl like us wil struggle ….
And sir giv more stress on current affairs bcoz the others we can get it from some book but it do follow ur website daily for current affairs
so please dont neglect them for others …

March 9, 2010 at 4:55 am1. There will be both civils aspirants and Bank PO aspirants but the people who are preparing for civils generally don't rely ONLY on your site but out of my experience many PO apsirants depend ONLY on your site for their preparation.
2. The number of people appearing for civils will be around 5 to 10% of the people appearing for bank PO and clerical exams
3. so, please maintain a separate section for Bank exams with daily notes and exams, but you can continue your remaining things as usual.
once again THANKYOU for your tremendous help

March 9, 2010 at 5:46 amplease place IAS based quiz specially for upcoming exam on 23 may.

March 9, 2010 at 9:29 pmIf you wanted to divide the sections in daywise then please a particular day for bank po aspirants and another day for upsc aspirants instead of mixing the both as the new schedule shows and also increase the number of questions in banking current affairs sections as i feel that instead of your very hardwork still we are not getting most of the questions from this blog in the bank exams current affairs.

March 9, 2010 at 11:15 pmThe idea is to deliver you what you want, my friends. I have tried my best to make a balance in everything I do on this blog. I agree with what "the Y " says that "dont limit it by syllabi of exams" and the comment by Mohan "Dont make this blog for single examination pattern based I would suggest you to let users choose what they want."
But ultimate goal of mine is to help you in exams and eradicate the GK Phobia. Once you are selected, you probably don't need to come to this site.
The essence of all voices is that all of you want current affairs everyday which are as one of you said "Not avaialable in Market in my way of presenting current affairs".
I can't replace the History & Geography content available in the market since I also use the same content for my studies, I study more than an average IAS aspirant.
By writing this post , I just wanted to bring out what is more essential and I feel that all of you agree with me that you need Current Affairs in this world of infomation overload almost everyday. Thats why I choosed to provide you more material on CA which are useful for all examinations. There are no hard and fast rules my friends!Its like a family and "Brainstroming" is required time to time.

March 9, 2010 at 11:15 pmSir,,
I would just like to suggest an addition..regarding the quiz and current affairs this site is the best i have ever come across ..But I cant find any material regarding GDs being conducted for bank PO entrance ,,,So please do include that and some more attention on interview questions also….These additions will make this site a comlete preparatory material for various competitive xams specially the bank xams…
