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 35-minute clock, a question palette and full screen, and your score, the key and the solutions arrive when you submit.

About this test

Awards and Honours GK Level 3: Gallantry Order, Nobel Laureates and Firsts

This Level 3 Awards and Honours GK quiz is a hard static GK set on India's civilian, gallantry, sports, literary and cinema awards, along with Indian Nobel laureates. Aptitude360 frames it in statement, list-matching and chronology formats that check institution order, first recipients and official precedence. Every question comes with a written solution.

What this tough awards GK set covers

  • Civilian honours: Bharat Ratna, Padma Vibhushan and Padma Bhushan, the earliest Bharat Ratna recipients, and which awards share an institution year
  • Gallantry awards: the wartime and peacetime series, the older Ashoka Chakra class names, and the official order of precedence
  • Award firsts: Major Somnath Sharma for the Param Vir Chakra, Devika Rani for the Phalke Award and G. Sankara Kurup for the Jnanpith
  • Indian Nobel laureates: Tagore, C. V. Raman, Mother Teresa and Amartya Sen, matched with their fields and years
  • Sports, cinema and literature honours: Arjuna, Dronacharya, Dadasaheb Phalke, Jnanpith and Sahitya Akademi awards

Key concepts to revise for Indian honours questions

  • The difference between civilian and gallantry awards, often swapped in trap statements
  • Wartime awards for valour before the enemy versus peacetime awards for courage elsewhere
  • The sequence of award institutions relative to landmark Nobel wins
  • Mythological origins of sports award names, such as Arjuna and Guru Drona
  • The Swarna Kamal attached to the Dadasaheb Phalke Award

Smart ways to prepare awards and honours GK

  • Learn the six gallantry awards as one ranked list, noting how wartime and peacetime awards alternate
  • Build one timeline that places award institutions beside Nobel Prize years
  • Pair each award with its first recipient and that person's field, so matching questions become quick

Who will gain most from this level

Aspirants who have covered basic Indian awards for competitive exams and now want harder, chronology-based static GK practice at Level 3.
