Questions candidates ask

Is there an English section in this paper? The pattern we describe does not have a separate English section. Check your notification to confirm the sections.

What is the biggest difference from the Finance paper? Computer applications carry 30 marks here, but only 10 in the Finance paper.

Which topics are specific to Panchayat? The Panchayati Raj Act, rural development schemes and the accounting of Panchayat funds.

How should I start? Take a diagnostic test, then give your first weeks to accountancy, computers and J&K general knowledge.

One more point to remember

Since computers, accountancy and general knowledge carry 30 marks each, a balanced score across the three is safer than a very high score in one and a low score in another.
