General Knowledge: Bangladesh and International Affairs
Bangladesh
Know the constitutional and administrative facts: independence in 1971, the Liberation War, the 1972 Constitution, the branches of government, divisions and districts, and national symbols such as the flag, anthem, and state language. Be familiar with major rivers, Sundarbans, and economic sectors including garments and remittances. Keep current names of key offices and institutions accurate, and mark uncertain facts for review rather than guessing.
International affairs
Revise the United Nations and its principal organs, major regional bodies (SAARC, ASEAN, the EU, OIC), and the purposes of the IMF, World Bank, and WTO. Know landmark agreements and the general structure of international diplomacy. Questions often test which organisation does what, so learn functions, not just names.
Traps and a rule of thumb
Traps: confusing founding dates; swapping the functions of two similar bodies; and distractors that name a real institution but assign it the wrong role. Rule of thumb: for any organisation question, recall three anchors - founding year, headquarters, and primary function. Worked example: asked which body settles legal disputes between states, recall that the ICJ is the principal judicial organ of the UN, seated at The Hague, so that is the answer rather than the ICC, which tries individuals.
