Thinking of cracking UPSC Store Officer DRDO exam in 2023?

Do you know during 2017 exam of the UPSC, every 5th successful candidate was a student of Human Peritus?

Syllabus of UPSC Store Officer DRDO exam 2023

The syllabus of UPSC Store Officer DRDO exam has been discussed on this page. The UPSC conducts a single exam, which has 120 objective-type questions of 2.5 marks each. The syllabus for UPSC Store Officer DRDO and GSI is same.  

The UPSC released notification for the Store Officer exam in Feb 2022 and the last date of form submission was 03 Mar 2022. The detailed notification can be viewed by clicking here. As per this notification, the UPSC has not disclosed the syllabus for the UPSC Store Officer exam.

To understand, why the UPSC has not included the syllabus in the notification, we need to understand the methodology of UPSC to conduct Recruitment Exams (RTs).

How UPSC conduct Recruitment Exams(RTs) ?

First, the UPSC comes out with the notification with vacancy details, eligibility, number of posts etc. Then candidates apply on the UPSC ORA portal. Then the UPSC checks, how many candidates have applied for the post. If the number of applications is in the few hundreds, then direct interviews are conducted without any written exam.

But, if the number of applicants is large, the UPSC decides to conduct the written exam. How large is this threshold number? As we understand from previous exams, even if this number is above 500, you can expect a written exam.

Therefore, we can conclude with 100% confidence that, there will be a written exam for UPSC Store Officer DRDO vacancy. Previously, this exam was conducted on 23 Sep 2018 for GSI (Geological Survey of India). Before that exam was conducted by UPSC on 13 June 2016 for DRDO.

How can we start preparing, when the syllabus of the UPSC Store Officer exam 2022 is not available?

 
For all recruitment exams of the UPSC, what the students can do, is prepare with the UPSC Store Officer DRDO syllabus of the Previous exam. There are very less chances that the syllabus will change. But, even if it changes, the changes will not be more than “plus minus 20%”.
 

The syllabus of the Store Officer exam of 2017 is given below. You may also download the syllabus of UPSC Store Officer exam from the website of the UPSC.

You may also check other data points about this exam like previous years’ question papers, eligibility, cut off in previous years, coaching classes, study material, important books etc. Still, if you have something else on your mind, you may connect with our team. We will do our best to support you in your preparation.

Conceptual Learning

Our Live Classes are not just 30,000 feet overview, but with detailed conceptual understanding spanning over 200 hours. Check out some of recorded classes to understand how we teach. (videos are given in the middle of this page).

Coverage of Syllabus

We ensure 100% coverage of Syllabus. With Human Peritus course, you need not touch any other book, not even previous years’ papers. Not even required current affairs. Nothing else. You can depend completely on us.

Smart Preparation

While on the one hand, we ensure 100% coverage and confidence of having more than 85-90% questions in the exam, on the other hand, we also ensure that you study only what is required for the exam. For instance, although you will study the Factories Act in only 14 pages in our booklet, still will have the confidence of facing any question in the exam, as if you have studied 74 pages of the published act.

Success Stories

Thousands of students have realized their dream with Human Peritus. Check out video experiences of hundreds of such students by Clicking Here.

Regular Updates

After every exam, we analyze, how many questions came from our course. Then we update our course accordingly (and this cycle continues with each exam). By doing it over the years, we have reached a stage, where consistently more than 85-90% of questions are from our course. In 2017 exam of UPSC, out of 120 questions, more than 100 questions were from the course of Human Peritus. Check out Nov 2017 Exam Analysis, where we have mapped every question to its source in Human Peritus Study Material.

Online Question Bank

One of the key enablers to get you success is our Online Question Bank. Each of these 7000 questions is with not only answer but with a detailed explanation. It is Super Important to go through detailed explanation of every question (objective is not to assess you but to make you learn concept). This is the reason, why we repeatedly keep emphasizing that only reading our printed booklets is not sufficient. You MUST go through these 7000 questions.

These 7000 questions are further divided into around 100-125 subtopics. This gives you the flexibility to focus on only those areas, where you feel the need.

Since the inception of Human Peritus in 2011, our preparation approach has been quite traditional. First, we do a lot of research in analyzing the “boundary” of the syllabus by looking at PYQ’s. Then within that boundary, we provide “maximum possible coverage” of the concepts. What we do not do, is to try to find out what is more important or less important within that boundary. We study everything like a dedicated student. We make things “concise” but we don’t “leave out” things.

Firstly

We believe that nobody can guess important questions in objective exams (yes, we can identify some of the most repeating ones; but is that sufficient for cracking UPSC exam?….NO). The only way to secure prestigious job of UPSC is to cover the full syllabus within the boundary >> Then practice a lot of questions from that topic >> and you are ready for that topic. So, if you are enrolling with Human Peritus with the hope that we know important questions, which will come in the exam, DO NOT JOIN US.

Secondly

Like all the good things in the world, preparation takes time. We do not have any magical formula to cover everything in 1 month. We make a plan >> we follow the plan >> we expect you to do what we advise you >> and you are ready for the exam. If you do not have the time and patience of at least 3-4 months, DO NOT JOIN US.

Thirdly

Our Faculty members will only “teach” in class. Very less time is spent on “Gyan” or “motivation” or “making you like videos”. We understand that you are grown-up Post-Graduate students and we treat you like that. Our only objective is to give you the confidence of 100% coverage of the syllabus and teachers spend time on that only. If you are expecting classes to be full of “stand-up comedy”, DO NOT JOIN US.

Finally

Our approach has worked well in previous RT exams of UPSC like ALC, LEO, ESIC DD, EPFO, Admin Officer, Store Officer DRDO etc. And we are pretty confident that this “4 Step preparation plan” will work in coming UPSC Store Officer exam as well.

We have designed this course for DRDO exam after a detailed analysis previous papers of Store Officers by UPSC and other RT exams 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”.

Similarly, for every topic, we have decided on the syllabus. Of course, there are a lot of assumptions by our team. But this is the best approach, what we can do. And this has worked earlier. In Nov 2017 exam of UPSC Assistant Labour Commissioner, we used the same approach and more than 100 questions (out of 120) were from our syllabus.

You should be looking for these 5 points, while evaluating any institute:

1. Teaching or Gyan

Check if you are getting just 30,000 feet overview or detailed conceptual learning. If you have attended a 2-hour class on “Motivation Theories”, do you have the confidence to tackle every possible question on this topic? Also, check how much time is spent on actual teaching and how much on “motivating you to like videos” or “promoting their courses”.

2. Mentorship

Are you joining a team, which can guide you throughout your preparation journey? Give a call and ask for a discussion with a faculty member. Ask that faculty some real questions, like:

  • Is XYZ Act part of the syllabus?
  • Do I have to study new labour codes?
  • What has been the trend of cut-offs?
  • Which topics can I ignore or focus on more?
  • Which topics in the syllabus have relevance to current affairs?

Assess the quality of telephonic discussion. See if you are getting connected to a “sales guy” or an “academic mentor and guide”.

3. Interaction in Class

Check if students are able to ask doubts in the class by speaking/discussing or you have been given just a chat option. Attend a few demo classes to understand this.

4. Study Material

No exam can be cleared by just listening to what the teacher says. After every class, it is mandatory to read that topic from the books. Check whether you are getting study material covering all the keywords of the syllabus. Most of the time, you will be getting random PDF files or pdf of class notes. Check if you are getting this confidence that you don’t have to look at any other book.

5. Previous Results

Check previous results of the institute.

From a coverage point of view, the Study Material will give you 100% coverage, but the probability of selection is much higher (4 times) in video classes program, because of the following reasons:

(i) a Large number of topics require conceptual clarity, which will need a teacher to make it easier, like Labour Laws, OB Theories, Numerical Aptitude.

(ii) With tips and tricks, the teacher makes it easier to remember.
 

(iii) If it takes x hours to prepare without a teacher, then it will take only 0.4x hours with a teacher. Since time for UPSC Store Officer DRDO exam is limited, you need someone to make it quicker for you.

(iv) You get into discipline because now someone else is pushing you towards completion of the syllabus (this is the biggest contributor)

(v) While teaching, the teacher explains how questions are framed from a given topic.

Our analysis says that the Current Affairs for UPSC RT exams is quite static and factual. 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. 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 dispatch, 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 dispatch 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.  

We have assisted students for many recruitment exams of UPSC like UPSC ALC, EPFO, Admin officers and have good experience with UPSC Recruitment exams. After analyzing at least 17-18 recruitment exams of UPSC, we can see that, the minimum time is 5 months and average time is 8-9 months.  You might look at some examples:

UPSC ALC- Last date of application: Dec 2016, Date of exam: Nov 2017
Sr Admin Officer DRDO- Last date of application: Sep 2015, Date of exam: May 2016
Sr Admin Officer DRDO- Last date of application: Dec 2014, Date of exam: May 2015
Admin Officer BRO- Last date of application: Sep 2018, Date of exam: Aug 2019
Admin Officer GSI- Last date of application: Apr 2018, Date of exam: Sep 2019
UPSC APFC – Last date of application: June 2015, Date of exam: Jan 2016

Considering the availability of RT schedule of UPSC and previous history, our best guess is that this exam will not be held before June-July 2022. This is the earliest time frame. 

Our advice is that complete your syllabus latest by May 2022, so that you are ready, whenever the exam is announced by the UPSC.

The Syllabus of Store Officer DRDO is given below:

1. Basic English Language Skill
2. Material Management
3. General Financial Rules
4. General Mental Ability, Data Analysis, Logical Reasoning
5. Current Events of National and International Importance
6. Indian Union and International Affairs

There are remote chances of changes in syllabus. Even if it will happen, the changes are expected to be minor. For example, labour codes might be included in the syllabus.

If there is any change in the syllabus, it is our responsibility to support you with additional content. We will support you fully till the exam day.
