Junior Superintendent — Actual Annexure-I Syllabus and Exam Lifecycle

Not an invented pattern: IIITP/NT/Rectt./2026/1 specifies Stage-I 100 marks/90 minutes, ¼ negative marking, Part A 40 / Part B 60. The 50% GEN/OBC/EWS and 45% SC/ST marks are minimum Stage-I eligibility for Stage-II, not a predicted final recruitment cutoff. JoPT follows at 50 marks/60 minutes, with minimum 50% pass, but JoPT scores do not enter merit. Final selection ranks candidates by written Stage-I 100 marks after passing JoPT.

Exact published syllabus split

40-mark General Aptitude

Quantitative Aptitude; General Intelligence and Reasoning; General English and Comprehension; General Awareness; Basic Computer Knowledge. The notification specifies no question count or further subtopic percentages: candidates should prepare each area without inventing a sectional pass mark.

Qualifying practical, not extra merit marks

JoPT requires creating/formatting office documents, drafting, data entry, Excel spreadsheets and PowerPoint work relevant to an Academic/Research institution. It is a 60-minute 50-mark test and an applicant must obtain at least 25/50; nevertheless merit remains 100 written marks. Up to 8 applicants per vacancy may progress, not automatically all Stage-I passers.

What happens next

After hardcopy scrutiny there is a three-working-day chance to provide requested clarifications and three working days for grievance against provisional eligibility. Admit card is ordinarily issued 21 days before the as-yet unannounced exam. Test date, response sheet, official answer-key date, exact final cutoffs and results date are not specified. Final select list will be posted by the Institute; tie break prioritises written domain score. Preserve application form and original certificates for the test and subsequent verification.

Junior Engineer (Civil) — Official Annexure-II Syllabus and Exam Lifecycle

Vacancy: 1 unreserved post, Pay Level 06. Eligibility: relevant Engineering Degree + 2 years experience OR Engineering Diploma + 5 years; only relevant full-time service counts and a standalone stint under 6 months does not. Stage-I: 50 objective marks, 60 minutes, ¼ penalty per wrong answer. Stage-II JoPT: 50 marks, 60 minutes. Final merit is combined 100; there is no Junior Superintendent-type qualifying-only JoPT for this post. The Civil annexure does not prescribe JS's 50/45 category threshold, and no real examination date is announced.

Civil written domain knowledge — entire advertised coverage

1. Building materials: standard tests, cement, timber/wood products, bituminous materials, paints and varnish.
2. Concrete technology: aggregates, water-cement ratio, workability, mix design, concrete production, curing, repairs and quality assurance.
3. Building construction: National Building Code typology, construction components, damp-proofing, plinth; green building and energy/environmental compliance.
4. Estimation, costing and valuation: rates and measurement, earthwork, brickwork, RCC, shuttering, flooring, plaster, depreciation, salvage/scrap values.
5. Contracts: contracting parties, Indian Contract Act, tender terms, commercial conditions, dispute-prone clauses, arbitration/ADR.
6. Basic surveying: chain, compass, levelling, contours, area/volume, theodolite, tacheometry, total station.
7. Soil and foundation: soil properties, SPT/site investigations, compaction, bearing capacity, spread, combined, raft and piles.
8. Roads: geometric design, pavement materials/tests, WBM/WMM, rigid and flexible pavements.
9. Environmental: water treatment/distribution, drainage/sewage, e-waste and solid-waste management.
10. Structural/RCC: beam analysis, shear/bending, one/two-way slabs, flexure, reinforcement, columns.
11. General Financial Rules: works provisions.

The employer says the topic list may not be exhaustive; no separate unit-specific number of questions or pass percentage is printed.

Practical: 50 marks / 60 minutes

JoPT covers estimating, measurement of quantities and costing; surveying; material testing (cement, concrete, brick and aggregates); and contracts. Actual practical scores count fully toward merit. Review measurement books, rate analysis, BOQ calculations and safe inspection practices; these are preparation examples not extra eligibility requirements.
