TSPSC Junior Lecturer Syllabus, Exam Pattern, Eligibility

450 marks in total. Paper I is bilingual in English and Telugu. Paper II is in English only, except for the language subjects, which are set in their own language. No negative marking is mentioned.

Paper I covers current affairs, international relations, science and technology, the environment, the economy, geography, modern Indian history, Telangana history and the statehood movement, the Constitution, social exclusion, Telangana society and policies, reasoning and data interpretation, and basic English at 10th class standard.

Paper II is the post-graduate syllabus of the subject: Arabic, Botany, Chemistry, Civics, Commerce, Economics, English, French, Hindi, History, Mathematics, Physics, Sanskrit, Telugu, Urdu or Zoology. The topic lists run page by page in Annexure III of the notification.

You need a second-class postgraduate degree (MA, MSc or MCom) or an Honours degree in the subject with at least 50% marks. Civics needs Political Science or Public Administration at the same standard. Urdu-medium and Marathi-medium posts go to candidates who studied in that medium to class X, or who took Urdu or Marathi as the first language at class X and as a second language at degree level.

Age is 18 to 44 on 1 July 2022, with the standard relaxations.

Selection is by written test only; the notification has no interview. Candidates then go through certificate verification and give web options for multi-zones. Minimum marks are 40% for OC, EWS and sportspersons, 35% for BC, and 30% for SC, ST and PH.

The scale is ₹54,220–1,33,630. Vacancies in 2022 by subject, with Urdu and Marathi medium posts in the last column:

Apply online through the OTR profile at tgpsc.gov.in. The 2022 fee was ₹200 plus ₹120 for the exam, and unemployed candidates paid no exam fee.

No cut-off is published. Selected hall ticket numbers are on the selection page.

Paper II carries 300 of the 450 marks, so the subject paper is the contest. Study from the PG syllabus in the notification, not from a college text alone.
