HSSC Sanitary Inspector Syllabus Exam Pattern

Group 36 recruitment follows the standard two-stage HSSC process. Stage one is the Common Eligibility Test (CET) — 100 questions, 100 marks, roughly 90–105 minutes, covering general awareness, reasoning, Hindi, English and quantitative aptitude. Clearing CET plus the socio-economic criteria stage qualifies you for the group-specific written exam, which is where the HSSC Sanitary Inspector Syllabus below actually applies.

The HSSC Sanitary Inspector Syllabus for the written exam splits into weighted parts:

• General awareness, reasoning, mathematics, science, history (including Haryana-related history), current affairs, literature, geography, civics, environment, culture, etc.—20% weightage
• Computer terminology, fundamentals, word software, Excel software, PowerPoint, internet, web browsing, communication, emails, downloading and uploading data on websites, etc.—10% weightage
• Subject-related syllabus — 70% weightage

HSSC notes on the official document that this weightage is tentative and may vary, so treat it as a study-time guide rather than a locked question count.

How to Prepare for the HSSC Sanitary Inspector Syllabus Exam

Start with the subject-specific block of the HSSC Sanitary Inspector Syllabus first — it carries the heaviest weightage and is where real differentiation between candidates happens, since general awareness and computer knowledge sections overlap with every other HSSC group. Work through each topic area systematically, and revisit the subject list above every week so nothing slips through before exam day.

Don’t skip the common portion either. Haryana-specific general awareness and basic computer knowledge are easy marks that candidates often under-prepare because they’re focused on the technical syllabus.
