Frequently Asked Questions
Syllabus Overview
Preparing for the IISER Kolkata Non-Teaching recruitment exam requires a thorough understanding of both general aptitude and technical/specialized domains. The exam comprises two primary sections: Part-A focused on general studies, quantitative aptitude, reasoning, and English proficiency, and Part-B focused on domain-specific knowledge relevant to the applied post (such as Civil Engineering for Junior Engineers, Office Administration rules for Assistants, etc.).
Exam Pattern Strategy
Candidates must manage their time effectively during the 100-mark written test. Since Part-B carries specialized weightage, thorough revision of core academic subjects or administrative service guidelines is crucial. Practicing previous years’ non-teaching exam papers from central universities and institutes of national importance will provide a competitive edge.
Preparation Tips & Recommendations
- Review the detailed notification and understand the specific job profile requirements.
- Create a structured timetable allocating equal hours to general studies and technical topics.
- Take regular mock tests to improve speed and accuracy for the computer-based or written examination.
- Ensure all physical certificates and experience documents are organized well in advance for the document verification stage.
