| Section IA (13 Languages): English, Hindi, Assamese, Bengali, Gujarati, Kannada, Kashmiri, Konkani, Maithili, Malayalam, Marathi, Nepali, Odia. Section IB (20 Languages): Arabic, Chinese, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Persian, Russian, Spanish, Tamil, Telugu, Urdu, Bodo, Dogri, Kashmiri, Konkani, Maithili, Manipuri, Santali. |
| 2. Domain-Specific Subjects (Section II): Candidates can select up to six domain subjects from the following list: |
| Sciences: Biology/Biological Studies/Biotechnology/Biochemistry Chemistry Computer Science/Informatics Practices/Information Technology Environmental Studies/Sciences Mathematics/Applied Mathematics Physics Commerce: Accountancy/Book Keeping Business Studies Economics/Business Economics Entrepreneurship Humanities and Social Sciences: Anthropology Geography/Geology History Home Science Knowledge Tradition-Practices in India Legal Studies Mass Media, Journalism & Communication Political Science Psychology Sanskrit Sociology Arts, Sports, and Others: Fine Arts/Visual Arts/Commercial Arts Performing Arts (Dance, Drama, Music) Physical Education (Yoga, Sports) The domain-specific tests assess knowledge and understanding of the chosen subjects as per the Class XII curriculum. |
| 3. General Aptitude Test (Section III): This section evaluates candidates’ general awareness and reasoning abilities through topics such as: |
| General Knowledge Current Affairs General Mental Ability Numerical Ability Quantitative Reasoning Logical and Analytical Reasoning |
| Preparation Tips |
| Understand the Exam Pattern: Familiarize yourself with the structure of the exam, including the number of sections, types of questions, and marking scheme. Review the Syllabus Thoroughly: Go through the detailed syllabus for each section and prioritize topics based on your strengths and weaknesses. Practice Regularly: Solve previous years’ question papers and take mock tests to build confidence and improve time management skills. Stay Updated: Keep abreast of current affairs and general knowledge topics by reading newspapers, magazines, and reliable online sources. |
