UPHESC Assistant Professor Study Notes and Material
Notes and study material to revise UPHESC Assistant Professor topics faster and with less stress
Good UPHESC Assistant Professor study notes are short, organised by the commission's syllabus and built for revision, not for first-time learning. Your Master's textbooks and NET preparation already hold the depth. Notes make that knowledge quick to revisit in the final weeks, when 120 questions in 2 hours leave no time to search through books.
The exam is run by the Uttar Pradesh Education Service Selection Commission (UPESSC), which replaced UPHESC. Build your notes around the current paper: 30 General Knowledge questions and 90 subject questions.
What to include in your notes
Section | What to note down | Best format |
|---|---|---|
Your subject | Key theories, thinkers, definitions, classifications, landmark works, dates and comparisons | Unit-wise summaries and comparison tables |
Teaching and research aptitude | Teaching methods, evaluation types, research steps, sampling types, ethics | One-page lists and flow charts |
ICT | Abbreviations, internet and email basics, digital education initiatives | Flashcards |
Environment, history, geography | Policies, movements, physical features, Uttar Pradesh specifics | Short pointers and timelines |
Constitution and economy | Articles, constitutional bodies, budget terms, schemes | Tables of articles and terms |
Current affairs | Events, awards, appointments, schemes, reports | Monthly one-page notes |
How to organise your notes
Follow the syllabus order: Use the headings of the commission's subject syllabus so nothing is missed.
Keep short notes: Aim for one to two pages per unit, with only what you tend to forget.
Make formula and fact sheets: Keep definitions, formulas, classifications and dates on a single sheet per unit.
Maintain an error log: Write every mock-test mistake with the correct answer and the reason you missed it.
Write monthly current-affairs notes: Close each month with a one-page summary so revision stays light.
A simple revision schedule
Same day: Review the notes you wrote.
After one week: Revise that unit again and attempt a short topic test.
After one month: Revise everything in short form, starting with weak units.
Final fortnight: Read only short notes, fact sheets and the error log, and spend the rest of the time on full-length mocks.
Reliable sources for notes
Build notes from your Master's and NET-level books, the commission's own syllabus and notices on the UPESSC website, and standard General Knowledge references. For the Constitution and policies, prefer government publications over unsourced summaries. Check the syllabus page for the topic list to anchor your headings.
Where notes fit with mock tests
Notes help you remember, and mock tests show what you have not remembered. After each test, add the missed points to your notes instead of rewriting the full unit. Testkart offers study material for exam preparation that you can use for quick revision, along with UPHESC Assistant Professor mock tests for timed practice.
