SSC Deputy Field Officers (Tele) Exam 2007 Syllabus

However, the original documents / certificates will be verified at the time of Personality Test/Interview and their candidature will be subject to result of such scrutiny. While exercising the facility of self-attestation of various documents, the candidates are warned that (a) any wrong attestations so as to mislead the Commission or to gain access to Commission’s Examinations, would lead to criminal/debar action against the candidates, besides cancellation of their candidatures; and (b) all original certificates will be checked at the time of Personality test/Interview and as the case may be, and their candidature is subject to result of such scrutiny.

Canvassing in any form will disqualify the candidates.

Part A: General English Questions in this component will be designed to test the candidate’s understanding and knowledge of General English and will be based on error recognition, fill in the blanks (using verbs, preposition, articles etc), Vocabulary, Spellings, Grammar, Sentence Structure, Synonyms, Antonyms, Sentence Completion, Phrases and Idiomatic use of Words, etc. There will be a question on passages and comprehension of passages also. The standard of the questions will be only of 10+2 level.

Part B: General Knowledge/General Awareness: Questions in this component will be aimed at testing the candidate's General Awareness of the environment around him and its application to society. Questions will also be designed to test knowledge of current events and of such matters of everyday observation and experience in their scientific aspect as may be expected of an educated person. The test will also include questions pertaining to History, Culture, Geography, Economic Scene, General Polity, Indian Constitution, Sports, Literature, Scientific Research, Basics/fundamentals of Computer, etc. These questions will be such that they do not require a special study of any discipline.

Paper-II - (CONVENTIONAL TYPE):

The standard of the questions will be only of Degree/Diploma level.
