shape Introduction

General Science is a subject or course of study in which the elements of several sciences are studied. General Science is a very important topic in several competitive exams. General Science primarily is a combination of Physics, Chemistry, Biology and Earth & Environmental Sciences. Physics, Chemistry, Biology and Earth and Environmental Sciences are very useful for the general understanding of our environment and existence of life on human planet. The article General Science Practice Sets lists some of the important quiz questions for the General Science section of various exams including UPSC, Railways recruitment and other government sector related recruitments in India.
Physics is the scientific study of forces such as heat, light, pressure, gravity, and electricity.
Chemistry involved with elements and compounds composed of atoms, molecules, and ions.IT is a branch of science that involves the study of the composition, structure and properties of matter.
Biology, a branch of science is the study of life and living organisms, including their physical structure, chemical processes, molecular interactions, physiological mechanisms, development and evolution.
