GI tags include Kota Doria, Blue Pottery of Jaipur, Kathputli, Molela clay work, Bikaneri Bhujia, Makrana marble, Sojat mehndi and Phulkari-style textiles of the region.

Dance and music: Ghoomar and Kalbelia (UNESCO intangible heritage), Bhavai, Chari; folk instruments like Morchang, Ravanhattha, Kamaycha; saints such as Mira Bai, Dadu Dayal, Jasnathi sect.

Indian Constitution: adopted 26 November 1949, came into force 26 January 1950; 395 original articles, 22 parts, 8 schedules; currently 12 schedules and 25 parts after amendments.

Fundamental Rights are in Part III (Articles 12-35); Directive Principles in Part IV (36-51); Fundamental Duties added by 42nd Amendment (1976) under Article 51A.

President elected by electoral college (elected MPs and MLAs) via proportional representation with single transferable vote; impeachment under Article 61.

UN founded 24 October 1945, HQ New York, 193 members; permanent Security Council members: USA, UK, France, Russia, China; India joined 1945 as founding member.

World organisations: WHO (Geneva), IMF and World Bank (Washington DC), WTO (Geneva), UNESCO (Paris), IAEA (Vienna), ICJ (The Hague).

Indian polity facts: Article 370 abrogated 2019; Article 356 President's Rule; Article 368 amendment procedure; Article 324 Election Commission.

Geography superlatives: longest river Ganga; highest peak Kanchenjunga in India; largest freshwater lake Wular; Thar largest desert; Chilika largest brackish lagoon.

Economy and indices: GDP, inflation measured by CPI (base 2012) and WPI; RBI controls monetary policy; SEBI regulates securities markets; NITI Aayog replaced Planning Commission in 2015.

Percentage change = (new − old)/old × 100; successive changes a% then b% give net change a + b + ab/100.

Simple interest = P × R × T / 100; Compound interest = P(1 + R/100)^T − P; for half-yearly compounding halve R and double T.

Profit% = profit/CP × 100; discount% is always on marked price; SP = MP(1 − d/100); successive discounts combine multiplicatively.

Ratio and proportion: if a:b = c:d then ad = bc; partnership profit shares are proportional to capital × time.

Time and work: if A does a job in x days and B in y days, together they take xy/(x + y) days; work rate is additive.

Speed = distance/time; relative speed adds when moving opposite, subtracts when same direction; train crossing a pole uses its own length only.

Averages: new average after adding value v to n items = (n·old + v)/(n + 1); weighted average = Σwx / Σw.

Mensuration: area of circle πr², circumference 2πr; cylinder volume πr²h; cone volume (1/3)πr²h; sphere volume (4/3)πr³; triangle area ½ × base × height or Heron's formula.

Permutation nPr = n!/(n−r)!; combination nCr = n!/[r!(n−r)!]; probability = favourable outcomes / total outcomes.

Number series: check differences, then ratios, then squares/cubes, then alternating patterns; prime-based and mixed series are common.

Coding-decoding: map letter positions A=1 to Z=26; reverse alphabet position = 27 − position; check shift, reversal, and substitution rules.

Blood relations: draw a family tree; use '+' for male, '−' for female and horizontal lines for siblings; paternal/maternal side matters for uncle/aunt.

Direction sense: use a compass sketch; final displacement = √(x² + y²) for perpendicular moves; left/right depends on facing direction.

Syllogism: apply Venn diagrams; 'all A are B' plus 'all B are C' gives 'all A are C'; 'some' conclusions need overlap shown in every possible diagram.

Seating arrangement: fix one anchor person, then place others clockwise/anticlockwise; for linear rows note whether facing north or south.

Computer basics: CPU has ALU and control unit; RAM is volatile primary memory; ROM is non-volatile; cache is fastest; 1 KB = 1024 bytes.

Input/output devices: keyboard, mouse, scanner are input; monitor, printer, plotter are output; both input and output include touchscreen and modem.

Software and networks: OS manages hardware and software resources; MS Word extension .docx, Excel .xlsx; LAN is local, WAN spans wide areas, HTTP/HTTPS are web protocols, IP address identifies a device.
