TSPSC Polytechnic Lecturer Syllabus, Exam Pattern

Objective type, by computer or OMR as the Commission decides. Paper-I is bilingual and Paper-II is in English. The notification mentions no negative marking.

Paper-I is the Commission's usual general studies paper: current affairs, science, environment, economy and geography of India and Telangana, polity, history, Telangana culture and policies, and reasoning. Paper-II follows the subject you apply in. The 2022 notification gives a detailed syllabus for each of the 19 subjects in Annexure-III, so read the one for yours there.

• Qualification: a four-year bachelor's degree in the relevant discipline with First Class (BE, B.Tech, B.Arch or B.Pharmacy as the subject needs). Master's degree holders with First Class in either degree enter at the higher level.
• Age: 18 to 44 on 1 July 2022, with the usual relaxations.

Selection is by the objective test alone. Qualifying marks are 40% for OC, EWS and sports quota, 35% for BC and 30% for SC, ST and PH. Candidates are called for certificate verification in merit order, and posts are allotted by Multi Zone.

Entry pay is Level-9A, ₹56,100 to ₹1,77,500, for a four-year bachelor's degree. Level-10, ₹57,700 to ₹1,82,400, applies to those with both bachelor's and master's degrees and First Class in either. Pharmacy is placed at Level-9A.

In 2022 the fee was ₹200 for processing plus ₹120 for the exam; unemployed candidates did not pay the exam fee. Apply online with an OTR number on the Commission website.

Paper-II is worth twice Paper-I, so build on your degree subject first.
