Normal practice, or a Simulated test

Both use the same questions. Normal practice is untimed and needs no account: choose an option and the answer and solution appear at once. The Simulated test is the real computer-based format, with one 30-minute clock, a question palette and full screen, and your score, the key and the solutions arrive when you submit.

About this test

Indian Awards and Honours GK Level 2: Padma, Gallantry and Nobel Facts

Awards and Honours Level 2 is an Aptitude360 static GK quiz on India's civilian, gallantry, sports, literary and cinema honours, along with Indian Nobel laureates. It checks how awards rank against each other, when each one began and who receives it. The questions use statement, matching, chronology and odd-one-out formats.

Honours covered in this Level 2 awards set

  • Civilian awards: Bharat Ratna, the Padma order from highest to lowest, the criterion behind each Padma award, the first Bharat Ratna recipients
  • Gallantry chakras: wartime and peacetime rankings, the date from which the wartime chakras took effect, the first Param Vir Chakra recipient
  • Sporting honours: Arjuna, Dronacharya and Dhyan Chand awards, and the renaming of the Khel Ratna after Major Dhyan Chand
  • Literature and cinema: Jnanpith, Sahitya Akademi and Dadasaheb Phalke awards, the Swarna Kamal and early winners
  • Nobel laureates from India: Tagore, C. V. Raman, Mother Teresa and Amartya Sen, matched with their fields and works

Award facts that Level 2 questions build on

  • Why the Bharat Ratna is a civilian honour and not a gallantry award, and where the Param Vir Chakra sits in the official order
  • The split between awards for players, awards for coaches and awards for lifetime contribution to sport
  • The sequence in which major national awards were instituted
  • Personalities who hold both a Nobel Prize and the Bharat Ratna

Smart ways to revise Indian awards for GK papers

  • Write three short ladders, one each for the Padma awards, wartime chakras and peacetime chakras, and say them aloud from top to bottom
  • Keep a single timeline of institution years across civilian, sports, literary and cinema awards to handle sequencing items
  • Maintain a two-column table pairing every award with its field and its first recipient

Who this Level 2 awards quiz suits

General awareness aspirants who already know the names of India's main awards and now want practice on ranking, chronology and matching-type questions.
