CBSE Junior Assistant · Work through your exam, one topic at a time.
The CBSE Junior Assistant (Group C) recruitment is a direct-recruitment process run by the Central Board of Secondary Education for administrative support posts at the Board. The public recruitment page shows the post moving through a multi-stage pipeline: a vacancy notification and detailed advertisement, a Tier-1 objective examination, a Tier-2 examination, and a Skill Test (Typing Test) for Junior Assistant candidates. For example, the page lists a public notice dated 01/07/2025 for downloading admit cards for the Typing Test for Junior Assistant and the Tier-2 examination for Superintendent, and a Final Answer Key for Junior Assistant dated 14/05/2025. It is aimed at graduates seeking a Group C central-board post who can combine general objective-test preparation with accurate, speed-based typing. Topics on this exam: Tier-1 objective examination (subject areas not enumerated in the source) and Tier-2 examination and Skill Test (Typing Test) (subject areas not enumerated in the source). The CBSE Junior Assistant study guide has 2 sections and about 812 words.
01Tier-1 Objective Examination: Computer-Based MCQ Paper
The Tier-1 paper is the computer-based objective stage. The source does not enumerate its subject areas, but the paper is assembled from general awareness, reasoning, quantitative aptitude, English or Hindi language, and basic computer knowledge. Because every question carries the same weight and the paper is machine-scored, marks come from exactness rather than from long explanations. Percentage and profit/loss: fix the cost price at 100 unless a value is given; discounts apply to the marked price, never to the cost price.

The Tier-2 stage moves from recognition to production: a descriptive language paper and a typing skill test. The source does not enumerate the descriptive topics, so prepare for the forms that recur in office examinations - formal letter, précis, paragraph or essay, and report - in English or Hindi, followed by a computer typing test in the language you opt for. Précis: reduce to about one-third of the original, keep the central argument, drop examples and repetition, and add no opinion of your own. Formal letter: sender's address, date, receiver's designation, subject line, salutation, short body paragraphs, and closing.
