Earlier, the syllabus for EO/AO was slightly different from that of the APFC exam.

Since 2025, UPSC has merged both posts into a single exam, which now follows a common syllabus.

The combined syllabus of the EO/AO and APFC exam can be broadly divided into the following 16 sub-topics:
(i) General English
(ii) Indian Freedom Struggle
(iii) Current Events
(iv) Developmental Issues
(v) Indian Polity
(vi) Indian Economy
(vii) Accounting Principles
(viii) Industrial Relations & Social Security
(ix) Labour Laws
(x) General Science
(xi) Computer Knowledge
(xii) Quantitative Aptitude
(xiii) Heritage and Culture
(xiv) Auditing
(xv) Insurance
(xvi) Statistics

We have designed this course after a detailed analysis of not only previous UPSC EPFO exams but also of other Recruitment exams  (RTs) of UPSC. For example, the syllabus has the keyword “General Mental Ability”. We identified all other exams of UPSC, which have this keyword in their syllabus. Then we looked at every question of that paper. Only then, we decided what should be the boundary of the syllabus of the “General Mental Ability”.

Our analysis says that the Current Affairs for Recruitment exams of UPSC EPFO is quite static and theoretical. There is no need to teach it, as there is nothing conceptual. We expect that you should be able to understand and memorize by reading our printed booklets. Since the current affairs are factual in nature, the teacher does not add any value by reading that out in a class. You can read it yourself. In fact if you can cover 10 issues by self reading in X time, the teacher will be able to cover just 2-3 issues in X time.

Please note that, there is no need to refer newspapers or any other source for current affairs. You can completely depend upon us. Our booklets are sufficient. However, it is advisable to keep reading at least 1 newspaper, as it helps you in interview as well.

Although, our team, carefully packs the content, before despatch, sometimes, we may also commit mistakes.

If you find that, any booklet is missing or there are two booklets with same topic, there is no need to worry. Please write an email to us. Immediately, we will send you another courier with missing booklets. 

Please note that, there is no need to panic. Our relationship with you does not end with despatch of courier.  Our team will continuously assist you till exam time by (a) updating new content on online platform (b) handling your queries on any syllabus topic (c) we also do few free preparation tips classes in last 2 months of exam.
