DSSSB Junior Assistant Syllabus
The DSSSB Junior Assistant syllabus for combined Post Code 802/23 includes reasoning, numerical ability and data interpretation, General Awareness, English, Hindi and computer familiarity. The official 802/23 examination scheme gives the six assessed areas and their marks. The examples here are study prompts for those areas. Use them to build a balanced schedule and check any later official syllabus or examination instructions for your post.
Set aside a separate block for keyboard practice. Computer familiarity is assessed in the written paper, while typing is a distinct skill requirement for the Services Department Junior Assistant entry.

Connect skills across sections
Reuse one short table to practise both numerical interpretation and computer familiarity. First work out the percentage increase from the data. Then sort the same data in a spreadsheet and check whether the answer changes when rows are shown in a different order. The two tasks help you distinguish data order from the underlying values.
English and Hindi each carry 35 marks. Alternate a reading exercise with a sentence-correction exercise, and file errors separately by language. If you often lose marks on vocabulary, record the word in the sentence that made its meaning clear.
Keep typing and Tier I in parallel
Use the DSSSB typing-test instructions to check the typing language, call-letter directions and conditions for your sitting. For Services Department Junior Assistant, the advertised speed is 35 words per minute in English or 30 in Hindi. Practise short unfamiliar passages on a computer and record speed and errors separately.
