Topic-Wise Important GK Questions for Christ University Exam 2027

Q1. Arrange the following ISRO Chairmen in the correct chronological order: (i) V. Narayanan (ii) S. Somanath (iii) K. Sivan

A) i → ii → iii

B) iii → ii → i

C) ii → iii → i

D) iii → i → ii

Answer: B (iii → ii → i) K. Sivan (2018–2022) → S. Somanath (2022–2025) → V. Narayanan (2025–present). The trap: many students assume Somanath came before Sivan because Chandrayaan-3 (under Somanath) is more "famous" than anything from Sivan's tenure.

Q2. Which of the following correctly matches the Foreign Secretary of India with their tenure?

A) Harsh Vardhan Shringla → 2022–2024

B) Vinay Mohan Kwatra → 2020–2022

C) Vikram Misri → 2024–present

D) Vikram Misri → 2022–2024

Answer: C Sequence: Harsh Vardhan Shringla (2020–2022) → Vinay Mohan Kwatra (2022–2024) → Vikram Misri (2024–present, extended to July 2027). The trap in options A and B swaps the tenure years between two consecutive holders — a very common exam distractor technique.

Q3. Which statement about the Railway Board Chairmanship is correct?

A) Jaya Verma Sinha was the first woman to hold the post, and she still holds it in 2026

B) Jaya Verma Sinha was the first woman to hold the post; Satish Kumar succeeded her in September 2024

C) Satish Kumar was the first person from a Scheduled Caste background to hold the post, and he succeeded Anil Kumar Lahoti directly

D) Satish Kumar has never received a tenure extension

Answer: B Jaya Verma Sinha (2023–2024) was indeed the first woman Chairperson, but she retired in August 2024. Satish Kumar succeeded her — not Lahoti directly (option C's chain is wrong) — and he did receive a one-year tenure extension from September 2025 (making option D false too). This is a "true fact wrapped in a false continuation" trap — the first half of A and C are accurate, which is exactly why students pick them.

Q4. Which one of the following statements is NOT correct regarding BRICS in 2026?

A) India is chairing BRICS in 2026

B) The 18th BRICS Summit is being hosted in New Delhi

C) BRICS has 11 confirmed full members including Saudi Arabia

D) Indonesia joined BRICS as a full member in January 2025

Answer: C Saudi Arabia was invited at the 2023 Johannesburg summit but has not formally confirmed full membership as of 2026 — it continues to sit on the fence to preserve its relationship with Washington. The confirmed count of 11 full members typically includes Indonesia (joined January 2025) but Saudi Arabia's status remains unresolved, making blanket inclusion incorrect.

Q5. Which one of the following is NOT correct about the G20 in 2025–2026?

A) South Africa hosted the G20 Summit in 2025

B) The 2025 G20 Summit was the first ever held on the African continent

C) The United States hosts the G20 Summit in 2026

D) India will host the G20 Summit in 2026 as part of a second consecutive term

Answer: D India hosted the G20 in 2023 (New Delhi) — a one-time presidency in the normal rotation, not a recurring term. The G20 presidency rotated to Brazil (2024), South Africa (2025), and the United States (2026, Miami).

Q6. Which of the following statements about the 2025 Ballon d'Or is incorrect?

A) Ousmane Dembélé won the Men's Ballon d'Or 2025

B) Aitana Bonmatí won her third consecutive Women's Ballon d'Or

C) Lamine Yamal won the Men's Ballon d'Or 2025

D) Ousmane Dembélé plays for Paris Saint-Germain

Answer: C Lamine Yamal was the runner-up (2nd place), not the winner. This is a deliberate trap because Yamal was one of the two favourites going into the ceremony, and many revision sources casually mention his name near the winner's — making him easy to misremember as the winner.

Q7. Consider the following statements about the ICC Champions Trophy 2025:

1. India defeated New Zealand in the final.
2. This was India's third Champions Trophy title.

The final was played in Dubai because Pakistan (the official host) could not stage matches involving India there.

Which of the statements given above are correct?

A) I and II only

B) I, II and III

C) II and III only

D) I only

Answer: B All three statements are correct. Statement III is the "extra knowledge" layer that separates a moderate question from a difficult one — many students know India won (I) and that it was a third title (II) but don't know the hybrid-hosting context that put the final in Dubai rather than in Pakistan.

Q8. Consider the following statements about the Nobel Prizes in 2025: I. María Corina Machado won the Nobel Peace Prize for her work in Venezuela. II. László Krasznahorkai won the Nobel Prize in Literature. III. Machado personally travelled to Oslo to receive her award in December 2025.

Which of the statements given above is/are incorrect?

A) I only

B) III only

C) I and II

D) None of the above are incorrect

Answer: B Machado did not travel to Oslo herself — her daughter, Ana Corina Sosa, accepted the award on her behalf in December 2025, as Machado remained in Venezuela. This is a classic "plausible but false detail" trap embedded inside two true statements.

Q9. Consider the following statements regarding COP30 (2025):

COP30 was held in Belém, Brazil.

Countries agreed on a binding roadmap to phase out fossil fuels.

The summit produced a political commitment to triple adaptation finance by 2035.

Which of the statements given above is/are correct?

A) I and III only

B) I, II and III

C) II and III only

D) I only

Answer: A Statement II is false — despite more than 80 countries pushing for a fossil-fuel phase-out roadmap, COP30 did not deliver a binding agreement on this; it remained a political signal at best. This is a high-value trap because news headlines around COP30 often blur "discussed" with "agreed."

These pair two similar-sounding roles/entities that exams love to swap.

Q10. Match the following posts with the correct office-holder (2026):

Chief of Defence Staff — a) General Upendra Dwivedi

Chief of the Army Staff — b) General N.S. Raja Subramani

Director General, BSF — c) Praveen Kumar

Director General, ITBP — d) Shatrujit Singh Kapoor

A) 1-b, 2-a, 3-c, 4-d

B) 1-a, 2-b, 3-d, 4-c

C) 1-b, 2-a, 3-d, 4-c

D) 1-c, 2-d, 3-a, 4-b

Answer: A Chief of Defence Staff = N.S. Raja Subramani; Chief of the Army Staff = Upendra Dwivedi; DG BSF = Praveen Kumar; DG ITBP = Shatrujit Singh Kapoor. The trap swaps CDS and Army Chief — the two most-confused defence posts in any GK paper, since both are Army-background four-star officers.

Q11. India's Permanent Representative to the UN in New York should not be confused with India's Permanent Representative to the UN in Geneva. Which pairing is correct for 2026?

A) New York — Arindam Bagchi; Geneva — Parvathaneni Harish

B) New York — Parvathaneni Harish; Geneva — Arindam Bagchi

C) Both posts are held by Parvathaneni Harish concurrently

D) Both posts are held by Arindam Bagchi concurrently

Answer: B This exact confusion pair is one of the most commonly recycled errors in outdated GK material — Bagchi's Geneva posting gets mistaken for the (more frequently tested) New York post.

Q12. Which of the following pairs is incorrectly matched?

A) RBI Governor — Sanjay Malhotra

B) NMC Chairman — Dr Abhijat Sheth

C) SEBI Chairman — Tuhin Kanta Pandey

D) Railway Board Chairman — Ashwini Vaishnaw

Answer: D Ashwini Vaishnaw is the Union Minister for Railways — a political/ministerial post — not the Chairman & CEO of the Railway Board, which is a civil-service post currently held by Satish Kumar. This tests whether students can separate the political head of a ministry from its administrative/executive head — a very common exam trap across ministries.

Q13. As of 2026, how many full members does BRICS have, and which country's status remains formally unconfirmed despite being counted in some official tallies?

A) 10 members; Indonesia unconfirmed

B) 11 members; Saudi Arabia unconfirmed

C) 9 members; UAE unconfirmed

D) 11 members; Ethiopia unconfirmed

Answer: B

Q14. What is the fiscal deficit target set in India's Union Budget 2026–27, and how does it compare to the debt-to-GDP figure mentioned in the same budget?

A) Fiscal deficit 4.3% of GDP; Debt 55.6% of GDP

B) Fiscal deficit 5.6% of GDP; Debt 43% of GDP

C) Fiscal deficit 3.4% of GDP; Debt 65.5% of GDP

D) Fiscal deficit 4.3% of GDP; Debt 43% of GDP

Answer: A The trap here is digit transposition (4.3 vs 3.4, 55.6 vs 65.5) — a very common technique in numerical GK questions, especially in banking and finance-oriented exams.

Q15. India's estimated real GDP growth rate for 2025–26, as per the Union Budget 2026–27 documents, is closest to:

A) 6.2%

B) 7.4%

C) 8.1%

D) 9.0%

Answer: B (7.4%)

Q16. The uncrewed Gaganyaan G1 mission is significant primarily because it:

A) Will carry India's first woman astronaut to space

B) Tests life-support and re-entry systems using the humanoid robot Vyommitra ahead of a crewed flight

C) Is India's first mission to land on the Moon's south pole

D) Marks India's first satellite launch using a foreign rocket

Answer: B Option C is a trap referencing Chandrayaan-3 (2023), a completely different mission that students sometimes conflate with Gaganyaan simply because both are "big ISRO news."

Q17. Which of the following correctly describes India's Shukrayaan-1 mission?

A) India's first crewed mission to the Moon

B) India's first dedicated orbiter mission to Venus, currently in payload-selection stage

C) A joint India–Japan mission to Mars

D) An Earth-observation satellite for monitoring the Indian Ocean Region

Answer: B

Q18. Which statement about the 2036 Olympics bid is accurate as of 2026?

A) The IOC has already confirmed India as the host

B) India withdrew its bid in favour of Qatar

C) The IOC will decide the host only in mid-2029, with India (Ahmedabad) still in the Strategic Dialogue phase

D) The 2036 Games will be co-hosted by India and Indonesia

Answer: C Option A is the most tempting wrong answer because of heavy media coverage suggesting India is the "front-runner" — front-runner status is not the same as confirmation.

Section G: Assertion–Reason Format

Q19. Assertion (A): India's Permanent Representative to the UN and India's Foreign Secretary are different posts held by different people.

Reason (R): The Foreign Secretary heads the Ministry of External Affairs' civil-service structure in India, while the Permanent Representative to the UN represents India specifically at the United Nations in New York.

A) Both A and R are true, and R correctly explains A

B) Both A and R are true, but R does not explain A

C) A is true, R is false

D) A is false, R is true

Answer: A

Q20. Assertion (A): No Bharat Ratna has been awarded since 2024.

Reason (R): The Bharat Ratna is awarded every year without exception, and 2025–26 simply had no eligible nominees.

A) Both A and R are true, and R correctly explains A

B) A is true, but R is false

C) A is false, but R is true

D) Both A and R are false

Answer: B A is true — no Bharat Ratna has been announced since the 2024 batch. But R is factually false: the Bharat Ratna has historically gone unawarded in many years (e.g., no awards were given in 2021 or 2022) — it is explicitly not an annual award. This question punishes students who "explain" a true fact with a plausible-sounding but incorrect reason.

Q21. Which of the following correctly pairs a 2025 sporting achievement with the format in which it occurred?

A) Travis Head — ICC Men's Cricketer of the Year 2025 (across all formats)

B) Jasprit Bumrah — ICC Men's ODI Cricketer of the Year 2025

C) Jannik Sinner — French Open Men's Singles 2025

D) Ousmane Dembélé — FIFA Men's Player of the Year 2025

Answer: A Bumrah won the Test Cricketer of the Year, not ODI (trap B). Sinner's major 2025 win referenced here was Wimbledon, not the French Open (trap C — Alcaraz actually won that). Dembélé won the Ballon d'Or, a France Football award, not FIFA's separate "The Best" award (trap D) — a genuinely difficult distinction since both are widely (and loosely) called "player of the year."

Q22. Which of the following statements is correct regarding India's space and defence leadership overlap in 2026?

A) The Chief of Defence Staff and the ISRO Chairman are the same government post

B) Both the ISRO Chairman and the Foreign Secretary report directly to the Prime Minister's Office in an identical administrative capacity

C) The ISRO Chairman also holds the post of Secretary, Department of Space, and Chairman of the Space Commission

D) The Railway Board Chairman and the ISRO Chairman are both selected by the Union Public Service Commission through a common exam

Answer: C This tests a genuinely easy-to-miss administrative detail: the ISRO Chairman is not a single stand-alone post — it's bundled with two other charges (Secretary, DoS, and Chairman, Space Commission), all held concurrently by V. Narayanan since January 2025.

Q23. Which of the following did NOT happen in 2025–26?

A) India won the ICC Champions Trophy

B) India was awarded the 2036 Olympics

C) Indonesia became a full BRICS member

D) The United States was confirmed as the 2026 G20 host

Answer: B — India has not been awarded the 2036 Olympics; the host decision is not due until mid-2029.

Q24. Which of the following is NOT a correct statement about COP30?

A) It was held in Belém, Brazil

B) It formally acknowledged, for the first time in a COP decision text, the likelihood of overshooting 1.5°C

C) It set a binding target requiring all nations to phase out coal by 2030

D) It created annual dialogues on climate-related trade measures for 2026–2028

Answer: C — No binding coal phase-out target was set; this remained one of the summit's most-cited disappointments.

Q25. Which of the following statements about India's Union Budget 2026–27 is incorrect?

A) It was presented by Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman

B) It introduced full income-tax rebate for individuals earning up to ₹12.75 lakh annually

C) It announced the India Semiconductor Mission 2.0

D) It set the fiscal deficit target at 6.5% of GDP

Answer: D — The actual target was 4.3% of GDP, not 6.5%. This numeric-substitution trap is common in finance-heavy GK sections.
