· Science and Technology- developments and their applications and effects in everyday life
· Achievements of Indians in science & technology;
|
Self Explanatory
Some Suggestions
· This topic is not about general science [phy, che, bio etc..]
· This topic requires you to understand recent develoments which are of great significance.
· For example: In 2013, 3D technology was a very hot topic.
· China is testing 3D tech to create affordable housing. Some people in USA manufactured Gun parts in their home. So, you should focus on +ves and –ves when it comes to new technologies
· Digital Signature was always in news.
· The same year there was question on Silion tape and UDRS system in cricket. This is unexpected and strange question.
· So you should apply great common sense while preparing.
