  • Subjects as per essential qualification: Computer and Mathematics
  • General Awareness: General Knowledge (including Himachal Pradesh), Current Affairs, Everyday Science, Logical Reasoning, English and Hindi

The syllabus document does not state the number of questions, marks or negative marking. Check your admit card and the latest official notice for these details. The recruitment also includes a typing test as per the advertisement.

Last-Minute Preparation Tips

With the exam only days away, focus on revising instead of starting new topics. Go through your Computer and Mathematics notes first, since they are the subjects tied to the essential qualification, and then spend time on General Awareness, especially Himachal Pradesh GK and current affairs.

Because the exam is on a Digi OMR Tablet, practise marking answers quickly and carefully in an OMR-style format. Speed matters, but so does accuracy, so avoid changing answers at the last second without a clear reason. Sleep well the night before and keep your documents in one folder so nothing is missed in the morning.
