Telangana Divisional Accounts Officer Syllabus, Exam Pattern

Two objective papers worth 450 marks together, taken online or on OMR sheets as TGPSC decides. Both are in English and Telugu.

Missing either paper disqualifies. Marks of deleted questions are credited proportionately.

Paper I covers current affairs, international relations, general science, environment and disaster management, the economy and society of India and Telangana, geography and history of India and Telangana, the Constitution and governance, social exclusion and rights, Telangana state policies, reasoning and data interpretation, and Class 10 English.

Paper II, arithmetic. Number system, surds and logarithms; ratio, percentages, profit and loss, interest, time and work, time and distance, clocks and calendars; polynomials, progressions and quadratic equations; sets and linear equations; statistics and basic probability.

Paper II, mensuration. Areas of plane figures, triangles and polygons, Pythagoras theorem, surface area and volume of solids, circles, coordinate geometry and basic trigonometry.

• A bachelor's degree in any subject from a UGC-recognised university, or an equivalent qualification.
• Age 18 to 44 on 01-07-2022 (not born after 01-07-2004 or before 02-07-1978). The upper limit had been raised from 34 to 44 by a 2022 government order.
• Further relaxation: SC, ST, BC and EWS 5 years, persons with disability 10 years, Telangana government employees up to 5 years by service, ex-servicemen and NCC instructors 3 years plus service.
• Degrees through open or distance universities count only if recognised by the UGC, AICTE or the Distance Education Bureau.

The ranking is on the written marks alone, with no interview. Candidates who meet the minimum (40 per cent for OC, sportspersons and EWS, 35 per cent for BC, 30 per cent for SC, ST and PH) are called category by category to verify certificates and to give their preference between the two multi-zones.

A tie is settled by local status, then age, then marks in the subject paper, then higher qualification.

Pay scale ₹45,960–1,24,150.

After a One Time Registration, candidates applied online with their TGPSC ID. Fees were ₹200 for processing plus ₹120 for the exam, with the exam fee waived for the unemployed. Raising an objection to the preliminary key cost ₹500 each.

The notification said the exam was likely in December 2022 and that the exact date would come later.

Hall tickets were available a week before the exam from the TGPSC site; the hall ticket link is on the home page when a test is scheduled.

The provisional selection notification of 29-11-2024 lists 28 hall ticket numbers for Multi-Zone I and 23 for Multi-Zone II, with 2 vacancies withheld. The follow-up of May 2025 adds two Multi-Zone II numbers.

TGPSC does not publish cut-off marks, only the selected hall ticket numbers.

Paper II carries two thirds of the marks and stays at Class 10 level, so speed on arithmetic and mensuration decides the rank. Cover Telangana history, geography and policies for Paper I.
