AP DSC 2026 School Assistant Telugu Syllabus: Literature, Language History, Grammar and Methods (Content 40 + Methodology 20)

The School Assistant Telugu syllabus has four subject-knowledge units (history of Telugu literature, history of the language, literary criticism, Bala Vyakaranam) and then points to the Andhra Pradesh government Telugu textbooks from Class 6 to Intermediate. The methodology part is based on a B.Ed. Telugu methods text. The syllabus is reproduced below in Telugu as the document gives it.

Part V: Methodology (20 Marks)

Methodology is half the size of content but is usually the more predictable half, because it is made of named topics (aims, objectives, methods, planning, evaluation) rather than an open-ended textbook range. The official list is:

The document heads this part "బి.ఎడ్ తెలుగు బోధన పద్ధతులు (తెలుగు అకాడమీ ప్రచురణ)", that is, B.Ed. Telugu teaching methods (a Telugu Akademi publication). Its six topics are:

  1. భాష – వివిధ భావనలు
  2. భాషానైపుణ్యాలు
  3. ప్రణాళిక రచన – పాఠ్యగ్రంథాలు
  4. విద్యా సాంకేతిక శాస్త్రం – సహపాఠ్య కార్యక్రమాలు
  5. సాహిత్య ప్రక్రియలు – బోధన పద్ధతులు
  6. మూల్యాంకనం – పరీక్షలు

The Common 20 Marks

Every School Assistant paper carries G.K & Current Affairs (10), Perspectives in Education (5) and Educational Psychology (5). The syllabus for the last two is the same for all subjects; we have set it out once in our Perspectives in Education and Educational Psychology syllabus guide. The document gives no topic list for G.K & Current Affairs.

How to Divide Your Study Time

As a starting point, split study time in proportion to marks. For every 100 hours of preparation:

BlockMarksHours out of every 100
Subject content40 marks50 hours
Methodology20 marks25 hours
G.K & Current Affairs10 marks12.5 hours
Perspectives in Education5 marks6.25 hours
Educational Psychology5 marks6.25 hours

This split is our own suggestion, not an official one; shift hours toward the units where your mock-test scores are weakest. The syllabus does not publish unit-wise marks, so avoid anyone who claims a fixed number of questions per unit unless they cite a notice.

After each mock test, enter your section-wise marks in the tool in our AP DSC 2026 syllabus and exam pattern guide to see which section is holding your total back.
