Dear,

No, it is no sufficient to read the newspaper for the general knowledge,


For the general knowledge you read the different -2 article from the number of the news paper.


Read the magazines and touch with the internet to know about the current affairs,


Also you read the general studies books which are related the civil service exam.


You solve the previous year paper of the civil service exam, it is helpful you.


Best of luck for the exam
