Hi malvika,
Following constitute the syllabus for General Studies:
Current events of national and international importance
History of India and Indian National Movement
Indian and World Geography
Indian Polity and Economy
General Mental Ability

Questions on General Science will cover general appreciation and understanding of science including matters of everyday observation and experience, as may be expected of a well educated person who has not made a special study of any particular scientific discipline.
In current events, knowledge of significant national and international events will be tested.
In History of India, emphasis will be on broad general understanding of the subject in its social, economic and political aspects.
