Current Affairs Quiz: March 2025 – Week 2

The second week of March 2025 brought important updates from India and around the world. The period included International Women’s Day, Commonwealth Day, the ICC Champions Trophy final, major space missions and health observances. These themes are useful for SSC, banking, insurance, railway and civil service examinations.

This 15-question current affairs practice set is also suitable for learners in Australia preparing for general knowledge sections. Candidates studying in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane or Perth can use it as a short daily revision exercise alongside Australian news, Reserve Bank updates and international developments.

Read each question before checking the answer key. Try to complete the set in under 12 minutes, similar to a quick quiz session during a commute or before work. Pay attention to dates, themes, organisations and locations because exam setters often test these small details.

How To Use This Weekly Quiz

Current affairs questions reward regular revision rather than last-minute memorisation. Keep a separate notebook for international days, government schemes, sports results, appointments, science missions and important economic figures. Australian candidates can also compare Indian banking or postal updates with familiar local institutions such as the Reserve Bank of Australia and Australia Post.

Use the following routine to make the quiz more productive:

• Attempt all questions without opening a reference source.
• Mark uncertain answers instead of guessing immediately.
• Review every incorrect option, not just the correct one.
• Add dates, themes and headquarters to your revision notes.
• Reattempt the quiz after three or seven days.

Questions On Events And Observances

Q1. What was the United Nations theme for International Women’s Day 2025, observed on 8 March?

Q2. Which country won the ICC Men’s Champions Trophy 2025 final played on 9 March?

Q3. Who was named Player of the Match in that Champions Trophy final?

Q4. International Day of Women Judges is observed on which date?

Q5. Commonwealth Day 2025 was observed on which date?

Q6. What is the primary scientific purpose of NASA’s SPHEREx mission, launched in March 2025?

Q7. Which solar phenomenon is studied by NASA’s PUNCH mission?

Q8. World Kidney Day 2025 was observed on which date?

These questions combine static general knowledge with recent news. International observances are especially common in objective papers because they offer direct factual questions. The Champions Trophy result is also worth remembering for sports sections: India defeated New Zealand in the final and secured the title.

Science, Culture And Exam Awareness

Q9. In India, Jan Aushadhi Diwas is observed on which date?

Q10. CISF Raising Day is celebrated on which date?

Q11. Which Indian festival was celebrated on 14 March in 2025?

Q14. What is the name of the NASA mission designed to create a map of the entire sky in near-infrared light?

Q15. What was the 2025 World Sleep Day theme?

Religious and cultural awareness can also support general knowledge preparation. Holi was observed in India on 14 March 2025, while Ramadan-related observances were part of the wider global news cycle. Students who want a concise cultural reference can read this Lailatul Qadar guide, while remembering that competitive exams usually focus on dates, significance and associated organisations.

For readers following the Australian market, the RBA cash rate is a useful domestic comparison with India’s monetary policy updates. A question may ask for the rate, the central bank or the policy decision period, so always attach the figure to its institution and date.

Answer Key And Quick Explanations

Check your responses only after completing all 15 questions. The answer groups below provide the essential fact and a short memory aid.

• Q1 — For ALL women and girls: Rights. Equality. Empowerment. This was the UN Women theme for International Women’s Day 2025.
• Q2 — India; Q3 — Rohit Sharma. India defeated New Zealand by four wickets, with Rohit Sharma making a decisive contribution.
• Q4 — 10 March; Q5 — 10 March. Both International Day of Women Judges and Commonwealth Day fell on 10 March in 2025.
• Q6 — Mapping the universe in near-infrared light; Q7 — The solar corona and solar wind. SPHEREx studies the wider universe, while PUNCH observes the Sun’s outer atmosphere and its outflow.
• Q8 — 13 March; Q9 — 7 March; Q10 — 10 March. These dates connect World Kidney Day, Jan Aushadhi Diwas and CISF Raising Day.

World Kidney Day 2025 used the focus “Are Your Kidneys OK? Detect early, protect kidney health.” Jan Aushadhi Diwas promotes affordable generic medicines through India’s public pharmaceutical outlets, while CISF Raising Day recognises the Central Industrial Security Force.

Building A Stronger Revision Habit

A score of 12 or more indicates good recall, but explanation quality matters more than the first result. If you scored below 10, revise the dates and themes today, then attempt the same questions again after a short interval. This method works well for candidates balancing study with a full-time schedule in Australia.

Keep current affairs connected to your other subjects. Link sports results with geography, missions with science, observance days with social issues and central-bank decisions with basic economics. For English preparation, practise learning news vocabulary in context; these English vocabulary tips can help turn daily reading into a structured 30-day exercise.

Use this checklist during weekly revision:

• Record the event, date, organisation and location.
• Separate India-specific facts from international facts.
• Revise sports, science, economy and observance days together.
• Write one sentence explaining each wrong answer.
• Complete a mixed monthly quiz at the end of March.

Save this March 2025 Week 2 quiz for later practice and pair it with daily news capsules, monthly PDFs and subject-wise mock tests. Regular short sessions will steadily improve speed, accuracy and confidence for competitive examination general knowledge sections.
