Greetings and regards from Bansal Academy! 

Thank you for your question regarding how current affairs is incorporated into the Himachal Pradesh Post Graduate Teacher (HP PGT) syllabus.

the inclusion of current affairs in the syllabus is a common practice in competitive exams, including teacher recruitment exams. The aim is to assess the candidate's awareness of contemporary events, issues, and developments in various fields. While specific details may vary based on the subject and the official notification for the particular year, here are some general ways in which current affairs is typically integrated into the HP PGT syllabus:

1. General Awareness Section:

   • Current affairs questions are often included in the general awareness section of the paper. This section may cover a wide range of topics such as national and international news, politics, sports, science and technology, awards, and more.

2. Educational Psychology and Teaching Aptitude:

   • Some questions related to current educational policies, reforms, and trends may be included in the sections assessing educational psychology and teaching aptitude.

3. Relevance to Subject-Specific Questions:

   • In subjects like History, Geography, or Political Science, candidates may encounter questions that require knowledge of recent historical events, geopolitical developments, or political changes.

4. Current Affairs in Educational Context:
