Dear as for as my views are concerned that if you ask about the natural aptitude and quality about General Knowledge and General Awareness then i would like to say that it i really not possible because each child is different in the childhood and the qualities and aptitude depends on the parental activities means each child has no quality from childhood, Qualities and skills comes after education and the the first teacher of the child is mother then all other familiars so that everything depends on the education of the child that what the child gets from his/her childhood means if getting positive then those qualities will effect and if not getting positive then those qualities will effect on him/her

If you think about should be then i would like to suggest you that these are the general things which must be in candidate because knowing of out world and India is not bad and if you do so then you are going to increase your knowledge level and making yourself best among your friends means a student much have this knowledge as a natural and if student is interested then he/she may collect the knowledge as much as possible from their playing stages

Dear if you wants to make yourself strong and good commanded in General Knowledge and General Awareness then you should follow the following guidelines

>> First of all you should go that any very good coaching institute and make your interest in general knowledge and general awareness because until you will not be interested in this subject, you will not study for a long time for a single subject

>> Try to provide at least 65% of your time to collecting knowledge and studying about general knowledge

>> Listening to speech of General Knowledge and Awareness is the best thing to learn and remember it for a long time so that you must attend the lecture of GS in the class and revise that at least 2 times in a day, watch some news channels which provides various types of helpful information and news about India and the world and keep them watching everyday for a fix time as either morning or in evening

>> Read two or three different news papers everyday of various sectors in them, one should be national, one should be local of your area and one should be related to - Business, Economics and Finance etc. and give at least 2 hours everyday only for news papers and not down those topics which you considers the best for your preparation and you can use - The Hindu, Economic Survey etc.

>> Purchase Monthly and Yearly Magazines for GS, GK and GA and study them completely and collect all information whatever given in those magazines and you can use - Civil Service Times, Wizard, Frontline, Yojna, Kurukshetra, Success Mirror, BSC Publication, India Year Book, Chronicle etc. and prepare hard

>> Visit at some websites which provides the best general knowledge and general awareness and you may use these websites - Press Information Bureau, Jagran Josh, Competition Master, Agoodplace4all etc. and collect more details than other competitors

>> Focus on detailed and conventional study not on objective type knowledge because if you will study a topic in complete details then you can easily collect more information about a single topic and you will not be confused about that so please try to collect more and more details

>> Revision is everything for every subject means if you revise each and single topic everyday whatever you study then you do not need to study during to examination because once you revise any topic then you will not forget that for a long time

>> Manage the time for your study means if you go to coaching in midday then you should give 2 hours in the morning and at least 3 hours in evening for complete study and mostly you should focus on that topic which is tough and confusing for you as - History of India and World etc.

>> Follow the guidelines of your teachers in the coaching institutes and ask them for better books and strategy that how to get good command over GS while preparing for UPSC and other competitive examinations and they will help you a lot and do not make to satisfy yourself with few study materials and few knowledge about GS

>> If you are following the time table for study then you can get enough general knowledge but if you are not according to the time then you can never get good command over GS and GK so please care about the time

All the very best
