RSMSSB LDC Syllabus 2026: Topic-Wise Subjects and Study Checklist
The RSMSSB LDC syllabus covers two written papers: Paper I with General Knowledge, Everyday Science and Mathematics, and Paper II with General Hindi and General English. A typing test in Hindi and English follows for shortlisted candidates. The exam is run by the Rajasthan Staff Selection Board (RSSB), earlier known as RSMSSB, for the combined Clerk Grade-II and Junior Assistant recruitment.
This page turns the syllabus into a checklist you can tick off. It also tells you where to begin, which areas deserve more time and how the two papers connect to each other. The details below follow the 2026 cycle (Advertisement No. 04/2026) but the subject structure is stable from year to year.
Honesty note: the board names the papers and subjects in its notification, but topic lists published online are built from the board's earlier syllabi and from questions asked in previous exams. Use the lists below as a working checklist, not as an official list, and compare them with the syllabus attached to the official notification at https://rssb.rajasthan.gov.in/

Syllabus at a Glance
Paper | Subjects | Marks | Time |
|---|---|---|---|
Paper I | General Knowledge, Everyday Science, Mathematics | 100 | 3 hours |
Paper II | General Hindi, General English | 100 | 3 hours |
Typing and efficiency test | Hindi and English typing speed and accuracy | 100 (reported) | 40 minutes in total (reported) |
Rajasthan focus: a large share of General Knowledge is about Rajasthan, including geography, history, art, culture and schemes. National topics come second.
Class 10 level science and maths: the science and mathematics sections are reported to follow secondary-school level, so strong basics matter more than advanced tricks.
Two languages: Hindi and English both count equally in Paper II. A weak language can pull down an otherwise good score.
Old pages mislead: earlier Clerk Grade-II exams had a different structure. Ignore any page that still shows the older scheme.
Paper I: General Knowledge Syllabus
General Knowledge is the most flexible part of the syllabus, so build it unit by unit and revise often.
Unit | Topics to cover | Start with |
|---|---|---|
Current affairs | National and Rajasthan events, appointments, awards, sports, government schemes, important institutions | Last 12 months, month by month |
Geography of Rajasthan | Physical divisions, climate, rivers and lakes, soils, forests, wildlife, minerals, irrigation projects | Physical divisions and rivers |
History and culture of Rajasthan | Major dynasties, freedom movement and state integration, folk arts, saints, folk deities, fairs and festivals, handicrafts | Integration of Rajasthan and major dynasties |
Economy and development | Agriculture, crops, industries, energy resources, desert development, Panchayati Raj, welfare schemes | Agriculture and major schemes |
India: polity, history, geography | Constitution basics, freedom movement, physical features of India | Constitution basics |
High-weight areas
Geography and culture of Rajasthan give the most repeat-friendly questions, since the facts are fixed and the question style is predictable. Current affairs reward daily reading. Keep short monthly notes instead of long diaries, and revise them at the end of each month.
Paper I: Everyday Science Syllabus
Everyday Science is about how science shows up in daily life. Questions are factual and mostly direct.
Branch | Topics to cover | Start with |
|---|---|---|
Physics | Light (reflection, lenses, defects of vision), electricity and Ohm's law, motors and generators, household appliances | Electricity and light |
Chemistry | Physical and chemical changes, metals and non-metals, oxidation and reduction, carbon compounds, soaps and detergents, polymers | Metals and non-metals |
Biology | Heredity and genetics basics, ecosystems and energy flow, blood groups, common diseases, nutrition and malnutrition | Diseases and nutrition |
Environment and technology | Biogeochemical cycles, pollution, space programme of India, information technology basics | Space programme and IT basics |
If your science is rusty, use Class 9 and 10 textbooks first. They cover most of what is asked, and the questions rarely go beyond them.
Paper I: Mathematics Syllabus
Area | Topics to cover | Start with |
|---|---|---|
Number work | Squares, cubes, roots, simplification, quick calculation methods | Squares and cubes up to 30 |
Commercial maths | Percentage, profit and loss, simple and compound interest, partnership, ratio, time and work | Percentage and profit and loss |
Algebra | Linear and quadratic equations, logarithms | Linear equations |
Geometry and mensuration | Lines, angles, triangles, coordinate geometry, area and volume | Triangles and area formulas |
Trigonometry and statistics | Basic ratios and identities, mean, median, mode | Mean, median and mode |
How to approach maths
Commercial maths scores fastest because the formulas are few and the questions repeat. Learn tables, squares and fractions by heart so that calculation does not eat your time. Do not leave algebra and geometry for the last month, as these need steady practice.
Paper II: General Hindi Syllabus
Area | Topics to cover | Start with |
|---|---|---|
Grammar | Sandhi, samas, upsarg and pratyay, karak, vachya, verbs and tenses | Sandhi and samas |
Vocabulary | Synonyms, antonyms, one-word substitutes, muhavare and lokoktiyan | Synonyms and antonyms |
Correction | Word and sentence correction, spelling errors | Common spelling mistakes |
Official language | Translation, official correspondence terms, comprehension | Comprehension passages |
Paper II: General English Syllabus
Area | Topics to cover | Start with |
|---|---|---|
Grammar | Tenses, articles, prepositions, determiners, active and passive voice, direct and indirect speech | Tenses and articles |
Vocabulary | Synonyms, antonyms, one-word substitution, confusable words | Daily word list |
Correction | Sentence correction and improvement | Subject-verb agreement |
Comprehension and writing | Unseen passage, official and demi-official letters, circulars and notices | Short passages with timed questions |
Official letter formats are worth learning because they are specific to this kind of clerical recruitment and feel familiar once practised.
Typing Test: Is There a Syllabus?
There is no topic syllabus for the typing and efficiency test. The test checks speed and accuracy on a computer. Reports describe four parts of 10 minutes each: Hindi speed, Hindi efficiency, English speed and English efficiency, with 25 marks per part. Treat these figures as tentative and read the exact scheme, including the keyboard layout allowed for Hindi and any minimum marks, in the official notification.
Where the Papers Overlap
Area | Paper I | Paper II | How to plan |
|---|---|---|---|
Reading speed | Long current affairs notes | Comprehension passages | Daily reading in both languages builds both |
Official language | Rajasthan governance and schemes | Official letters and terms | Learn scheme names alongside official vocabulary |
Accuracy | Calculation errors | Grammar errors | Keep one shared error log for both papers |
How to Cover the Syllabus in Phases
Weeks 1 to 6, concepts: Rajasthan GK, Class 9 and 10 science, arithmetic and grammar basics. Finish one unit before starting the next.
From week 4, current affairs and typing: 30 minutes of current affairs every day and 20 minutes of typing practice in both languages.
From week 7, topic tests: take short tests per subject and note every wrong answer in an error log.
From week 10, full papers: attempt Paper I and Paper II under exam timing, analyse the same day and revise the error log every week.
