 Foreword
The Key factor in Succeeding Competitive exams, is choosing and preparing
with the authentic books as per the syllabus and testing oneself with standard
questionnaire prepared based on the standard and authentic books according to the
syllabus.
Every notification released from TSPSC & TSLPRB and other Government
institutions in Telangana are asking more number of questions from Telangana
History, Movement & Culture.
“Telangana History, Movement, Art & Culture”, the book released previously
from PNR publications and covering more marks in competitive exams than any
other book available in the market. Based on this book and with the bits asked in the
various previous examinations held after the formation of Telangana this Chapter
Wise Bit-bank has been designed.
In recent times, questions are being asked analytically in competitive exams.
In accordance with the changed examination trend, by analysing the questions asked
in previous exams and on topics to be asked in future exams we systematically
developed this Chapter Wise Bit-bank.
The time is more precious to the competitive exam aspirants. So unlike a bit
bank written with the intention of giving more questions regardless of the syllabus,
you have to choose the bit bank like, if you practice the questions in a bit bank, the
whole syllabus will revise again. We wish you success in competitive exams by
reading this bit bank which is specially designed for competitive exams. This bit
bank has been prepared by one of the experienced and successful competitive aspirant
Pailla Naveen Reddy Sir, Deputy Tahsildar (S.I., Group – 2 Ranker). Reading the
book “Telangana History, Movement, Art & Culture” released by PNR publications
related to Telangana topics, practicing this bit bank will give you complete
understanding of the subject and you will get the ability to answer any kind of tricky/
confused questions.
