UPSSSC Auditor Syllabus 2026: Topic-wise Checklist
The UPSSSC Auditor syllabus covers accounting, audit, taxation, arithmetic, computer and IT concepts and general knowledge of Uttar Pradesh. It is tested in a single 100-mark mains paper after PET-based shortlisting.
The commission names the subject areas in its notification but does not publish a detailed topic-wise syllabus. The topic lists below are built from those official subject areas and from the kind of questions asked in earlier papers. Use them as a working checklist, not as an official list.
