DSSSB PGT Study Notes 2026: Subject-Wise Notes and Revision Plan

Subject-wise DSSSB PGT notes and study material for Section A, Section B and teaching methodology.

Good DSSSB PGT study notes help you revise a postgraduate subject and five Section A areas without rereading full textbooks. The exam has 300 questions across both sections, so your notes need to be short enough to revise often and complete enough to cover the official syllabus for your post.

This guide shows what to include, how to organise your notes, how often to revise them and where they fit with mock tests.

How to Organise Your Notes

  • Follow the official syllabus: Use DSSSB's post-wise Section B syllabus as the index, so no unit is missed.

  • Keep each page revisable in minutes: Write key points, not paragraphs, and use tables for comparisons.

  • Maintain an error log: Note every concept you get wrong in a test, with the correct idea in one line.

  • Separate fast-changing content: Keep current affairs in monthly notes so they are easy to update.

Example: Notes for One Section B Unit

Suppose you are a PGT Economics candidate covering National Income. One or two pages are enough if they hold:

  • Core definitions: GDP, GNP, NDP and NNP at market price and factor cost, each in one line.

  • Formulas and methods: The three methods of measuring national income, with the steps for each.

  • Common traps: Items to include or exclude, such as transfer payments and second-hand goods.

  • Past questions: A short note on how the topic appeared in previous DSSSB papers.

The same structure works for any subject: definitions, core ideas, traps and past questions.
