General Science Bites: Chemistry for Railway & SSC Exams

As you already know we have released 1 PDF MCQ Questions Bank for Railway Exams 2018. From Today onwards we will start a series of RAILWAY & SSC Exams. As per candidates requests those who are facing Issues with general science. In market no such books are available (SPEEDY General Science in English) now for general science. So, Now onwards we will cover each section regularly. If you like this Oneliner General Science Bites: Chemistry for Railway & SSC Exams 2018 then just comment us we will continue this series.
