PALACES OF INDIA FREE STATIC GK EBOOK Static GK is an important part of general awareness and no serious aspirant can afford to not pay enough attention in covering those topics pertaining to the same. From the examination perspective, static GK is relatively easy to score marks in, because the information given does not change and there are no formulas to memorize and apply to get the correct answer. Hence, scoring well in the general awareness section may help candidates balance their performance overall if they do not do as well in other sections; however, to do so, they need to be well- versed with various static GK topics as well. We at Oliveboard understand that, and hence we publish e-books regularly on various static GK topics; this time we have covered the ‘Palaces in India’. To help you have an idea of how the questions from this topic may be asked in the examination, here is a sample question: Where is Amba Vila Palace located? a. Karnataka b. Uttar Pradesh c.
