Based on the above syllabus and exam pattern it can be assumed that the syllabus is fairly straight forward. Applicants who have been preparing for other TSPSC competitive exams like Group 1, Group 2, and Group 4 will have an added advantage for clearing the TSPSC Junior Lecturers exam. Main reason for this being the Paper 1 General Studies. Paper 1 General Studies requires the same kind of preparation strategy that aspirants for above mentioned exams are implementing as it can said that they share same syllabus. However, applicants need to keep in mind that Paper 1 is of only 150 marks. Paper 2, like Paper 1 has same number of questions but the marks weighted for each question is almost double, ie, each question carries two marks making the paper 2 total marks at 300. This essentially breaks down to the logic that, individual subject has been given more importance in selecting the candidates. So, even if you have an added advantage of preparing for other competitive exams with out having the subject knowledge expertise of relevant subject you are applying for, it would be next to impossible to clear the exam. Hence, candidates are advised to focus more on their subject strength while balancing their preparation from paper 1 topics. TSPSC had mentioned that the tentative date for the exam is going to be in June/July 2023, leaving the applicants with an ample time of more than six months for their exam preparation. It is imperative for candidates to keep all of this in mind while they chalk out an exam preparation plan. All the best and best wishes from NewsOrbit.
