    As Discussed the static GK is being introduced in the CLAT paper.
    You must have to prepare for it in the serious way.
    For cracking static GK of CLAT you have to prepare for various sections of Static GK like Sports GK, Science and technology GK, Geography GK, History GK, Polity GK etc.
    Like if you see the GK junction of Bulls eye the have all these kind of section for GK for CLAT
    http://gk.hitbullseye.com/
    You have to study these different sections of GK for cracking GK of CLAT.
