For a well prepared SSC candidate,  it will take less than 2 seconds  to answer the questions in written examination. But, the General Awareness Section which comes in SSC CGL is very different from those asked in Banking and Insurance Examination. In prominent Banking and Insurance Exams, General Awareness Section  are more focussed on Current Affairs whereas in the case of SSC CGL, more questions will be based on Static General Knowledge.  In SSC CGL 2016, there will be 50 questions on 1 mark each and various topics can be from the following.  Indian History Indian Polity Geography Indian Economy Science (Physics, Chemistry and Biology) Miscellaneous There are almost  5-6 questions  from each topic mentioned above except t...

Researchers have developed one of the first complete systems to store digital data in DNA -- allowing companies to store data that today would fill a big box store supercenter in a space the size of a sugar cube. All the movies, images, emails and other digital data from more than 600 basic smartphones (10,000 gigabytes) can be stored in the faint pink smear of DNA at the end of this test tube. Technology companies routinely build sprawling data centers to store all the baby pictures, financial transactions, funny cat videos and email messages its users hoard. But a new technique developed by University of Washington and Microsoft researchers could shrink the space needed to store digital data that today would fill a Walmart supercenter down to the size of a sugar cube. The team of computer scientists and electrical engineers has detailed one of the first complete systems to encode, store and retrieve digital data using DNA molecules, which can store information millions o...
