UPSSSC Junior Assistant Syllabus: Subject-wise Topics

The UPSSSC Junior Assistant syllabus covers five areas: Hindi, general intelligence, general knowledge, computer and information technology, and general knowledge of Uttar Pradesh. The written paper has 100 questions, so each area is a compact block that can be finished with a steady plan.

The Uttar Pradesh Subordinate Services Selection Commission names the subjects in its notification but does not publish a detailed topic-wise syllabus for this paper. The topic lists below are built from the notification, the section names and the kind of questions asked in earlier papers. Use them as a working checklist, not as an official list.

Topic-wise syllabus

Hindi knowledge and writing ability

This is the largest block at 30 marks and the one most candidates can improve fastest.

• Grammar: sandhi, samas, upsarg, pratyay, karak, vachan, ling, kaal, vachya and shabd shuddhi.

• Vocabulary: synonyms, antonyms, one-word substitutes, idioms and proverbs, tatsam and tadbhav words.

• Writing ability: sentence correction, comprehension passages, error spotting and basic official letter and application formats.

General intelligence

• Verbal reasoning: analogy, classification (odd one out), coding-decoding, blood relations, direction sense and ranking.

• Series and logic: number and letter series, statement and conclusion, syllogism and simple puzzles.

• Non-verbal basics: clock and calendar, dice, venn diagrams and pattern completion.

General knowledge

• Static GK: Indian history, geography, polity and Constitution, basic economy, and art and culture.

• General science: everyday physics, chemistry and biology at school level.

• Current affairs: national and international events, awards, sports, schemes and appointments from roughly the last 6 to 12 months.

Computer and information technology

The CCC course material is a useful base, because the same ideas appear in both the certificate and the questions.

General knowledge of Uttar Pradesh

• History and culture: major dynasties and movements linked to the state, festivals, folk arts, languages and heritage sites.

• Geography: rivers, divisions and districts, soils, crops, minerals and national parks.

• Polity and administration: governor, legislature, high court, panchayati raj and urban bodies.

• Economy and schemes: agriculture, industry, budget highlights, and current state government schemes.

Typing test: is there a syllabus?

No. The typing test is a skill test, not a knowledge test. The advertisement asked for 25 words per minute in Hindi or 30 words per minute in English, and the test is qualifying. Details such as the font, duration and passage type are issued with the typing test admit card, so read that notice carefully.

How to cover the syllabus

1. Weeks 1 to 4: Finish Hindi grammar, computer fundamentals and the basics of reasoning. Read UP GK in short notes.

2. Weeks 5 to 8: Cover static GK and general science, begin current affairs notes and add 20 to 30 minutes of daily typing practice.

3. Weeks 9 to 12: Take topic-wise and sectional tests, then revise from your error log.

4. Final weeks: Attempt full-length papers in two hours and review each one the same day.
