Why the Syllabus Matters Before You Start
The syllabus usually comes with the notification or soon after. Check its date, because boards sometimes change the pattern between two exams.
How the Vacancies Are Split
English is the largest Sarkari Naukri with 1,763 of the 8,720 posts (20% of the total). The smallest lot is Home Science with 28 post(s), so competition per seat differs sharply between posts. There are 16 separate post lines; check each one against your qualification instead of applying for the headline number.

MP High School Selection Test HSTST Exam Pattern and Syllabus at a Glance
The admit card is expected around 26 Jul 2023.
Use the subject groups below only as a map. The topics, marks and timing of this exam are decided by the notice.
Subject-wise Preparation for High School Selection Test HSTST
Most exams of this type are built around the following areas. How much each carries is written in the official exam pattern.
- Language and comprehension: Reading and grammar at the level asked in the notice.
- Numerical ability and reasoning: Class 10 level mathematics and reasoning questions.
- General studies: History, geography, polity, science and current affairs.
- Subject paper: If the notice mentions a subject paper, give it the largest share of your time.
How to Turn the Official Syllabus into a Study Plan
- Download the latest syllabus PDF from the official link and save it on your phone
- Copy every topic into a notebook or a sheet, one line per topic, with a column for done, revised and tested
- Mark the topics that have appeared often in the previous papers, and study them first
- Check the marking scheme, especially negative marking and sectional time limits, and practise with the same rules
- Re-read the syllabus every month; organisations sometimes revise it between two notices
A Weekly Study Plan for High School Selection Test HSTST
Divide the topics week by week and leave the last week for revision only.
A simple pattern works for most students: study three hours of new topics, one hour of practice questions and half an hour of revision of the earlier day. Increase the time only when this feels easy.
Previous Year Papers and Mock Tests
Previous papers are the best free guide. Solve them in one sitting, then spend more time on the mistakes than on the score.
A mock test is useful only when you analyse it. The analysis takes longer than the test and is worth it.
Common Mistakes While Preparing
- Collecting many books and finishing none. One standard book per subject and the previous papers are enough to begin
- Studying from an old syllabus. Check the year and the exam name on the PDF you use
- Leaving current affairs for the last month. Read a little every week
- Ignoring the exam pattern. Sectional time limits and negative marking change the way you attempt questions
- Taking notes that are never revised

Study Tips for This Syllabus
- Use only the current-year syllabus; older ones may have dropped topics.
- Solve previous papers alongside each topic to see how questions are framed.
- Study current affairs regularly if the pattern includes a general awareness section.
- Cover the qualifying papers too; failing them ends the process.
- Read the official notice once for any changes to the pattern.
