What topics should be given more focus in general awareness

Hey,

Here are some things that you can and should look at which have a reasonably high probability of being asked in the exam. 

1. Net Neutrality
2. Indians in Tennis this year
3. Nobel Prizes in 2015 (Specially Peace and Economics)
4. One Rank One Pension
5. Winners and MVP of Indian Leagues
6. Fight of the Century
7. One Rank One Pension
8. Volkswagen Pollution Issue
9. Major merger and acquisitions (specially Indians)
10. World Sports (specially Tennis)
11. Cricket World Cup
12. A P J Abdul Kalam (Brahmos / his books)
13. Syrian Refugees
14. New Heads of State (Canada / Australia / Nepal)
15. Ramon Magsaysay Award (Indians who won it)

If  you can gather even superficial information about the topics mentioned  above and spend 15-20 minutes reading about each of them, rest assured -  you will clear the CMAT General Knowledge cutoff and do well in other exams as well.
