Frequently asked questions
Where do these questions come from?
Each question is generated from this site's verified Uttarakhand GK data. Every fact is taken from a government website or the Census, and each answer shows its source.
Are these previous-year questions?
No. These are original practice questions. For previous papers, see the official commission websites.
Are my answers saved anywhere?
No. Your score and wrong answers stay in your browser on this page only and are cleared when you leave.
Why are the questions different each time?
Each set picks 10 questions at random from 239 across all topics.
Is "UK GK" the same as Uttarakhand GK?
Yes. "UK GK" is how candidates commonly shorten Uttarakhand general knowledge, where UK stands for Uttarakhand and not the United Kingdom. These questions are available in Hindi as well as English.
Is this useful for UKPSC and UKSSSC?
Both have questions on Uttarakhand; in the UKPSC PCS mains, General Studies V and VI are on Uttarakhand. Check the syllabus in the commission's advertisement.
