Talati-cum-Mantri exam: complete syllabus and marking scheme
Subject-wise syllabus with weightage, negative marking rules and a reading list for each section.
This note lays out the subject-wise syllabus for the Talati-cum-Mantri recruitment exam along with the weightage given to each section: general knowledge, Gujarati and English language, quantitative aptitude, and panchayat administration.
The exam carries negative marking of one-quarter mark for every wrong answer, so candidates are advised to attempt a question only when reasonably confident. A short reading list is included for the panchayat administration section, which tends to carry the most scoring questions relative to its difficulty.
Candidates preparing from older material should check this syllabus against it first, since the weightage for a few sections changed in the most recent recruitment cycle.
