Patna High Court Technical Assistant 2026 Syllabus

Patna High Court Technical Assistant 2026 – Complete Syllabus

The Patna High Court Technical Assistant 2026 syllabus comes from Advertisement No. PHC/01/2026, dated 25.03.2026, for 53 posts in Level 5 of the 7th pay matrix. Applications ran from 01.04.2026 to 30.04.2026 and the advertisement left the examination date to be notified later. As on 26.09.2026 the court’s Recruitments page carries nothing further on this examination, so the schedule below is the one printed in the advertisement and no exam date has been announced. Selection is decided over three stages, the Written Test, the Trade or Skill Test and the interview, worth 330 marks together. The Preliminary Test sits ahead of all three but only runs if the number of applicants is high, and its marks never enter the merit list.

Preliminary Test pattern, held only if applications run high

Note: The Preliminary Test is conditional, which most pages on this exam leave out. The advertisement calls it a screening test to be held only if applications run high, and it says plainly that the marks are not considered for the merit list. Anyone at the last shortlisted candidate’s mark is also carried forward, even if that pushes the count past ten times. Read from the advertisement PDF on 26.09.2026.

Preliminary Exam Subject-wise Breakdown

Note: Computer Applications alone is 60 of the 100 marks, so the three general sections together carry less weight than the technical one. The advertisement sends candidates to Annexure II for the Computer Applications syllabus rather than listing it in this section.

Detailed Syllabus – Preliminary Exam

General Awareness (15 Marks)

• Current national and international affairs
• Indian history and freedom movement
• Indian geography and climate zones
• Indian polity and constitutional framework
• General knowledge and static GK

• Environmental science and ecology

Reasoning & Quantitative Aptitude (10 Marks)

• Coding and decoding problems
• Analogy and similarity/difference
• Space visualization and pattern recognition
• Blood relations and family relationships
• Series completion (number, letter, mixed)
• Logical reasoning and syllogisms

General English (15 Marks)

• English grammar and syntax
• Reading comprehension and passage analysis
• Vocabulary and synonyms/antonyms
• Idioms and phrases
• Sentence structure and error identification
• Cloze tests and fill-in-the-blanks

Computer Applications (60 Marks)

Computer Applications is the dominant section (60% of the exam) and covers BCA, ITI, and Diploma-level topics:

• Programming Fundamentals: Variables, data types, operators, control structures (loops, conditions), functions, arrays
• Data Structures: Lists, stacks, queues, trees, graphs, sorting, searching algorithms
• Web Technology: HTML basics, CSS styling, JavaScript fundamentals, web development concepts
• Computer Networks: OSI model, TCP/IP protocol, IP addressing, networking hardware, internet basics
• Operating Systems: Process management, memory management, file systems, disk scheduling
• Database Management: SQL basics, database design, normalization, DBMS concepts
• Computer Hardware: CPU, memory types (RAM, ROM, Cache), motherboard components, peripherals

Written Test pattern, the paper that decides merit

Note: The merit list is drawn from 330 marks and the Preliminary Test contributes none of them. The Written Test syllabus sits in Annexure II of the advertisement, and it is the domain paper, so it is where the computer subjects are tested in depth. A tie is broken on the higher Written Test mark first.

Trade Test & Interview

• Trade or Skill Test: 100 marks in 1 hour, qualifying at 40 marks, assessing work proficiency on computer tasks
• Interview: 30 marks, qualifying at 9 marks
• Both count towards merit: the 330-mark total is the Written Test plus these two, so a weak skill test cannot be carried by a strong written paper

Preparation Strategy

Computer Applications carries 60 of the 100 Preliminary Test marks, and the 200-mark Written Test is domain specific from end to end, so the technical subjects decide this recruitment twice over. General Awareness and General English together are worth 30 marks in a screening test whose marks are then discarded. The advertisement places the full Computer Applications syllabus in Annexure II for both papers, which is the document to work from rather than a general competitive exam guide.

Official Resources

Note: The examination has its own helpline and its own portal, separate from the main court website. Use the recruitment email for anything about the form or the admit card, because the general court address is not the examination cell.

Important Links

Note: The admit card will appear in the Admit Card tab of the same portal used for the form, not on the court website. We checked the court’s Recruitments page on 26.09.2026 and it carries nothing on this examination after the apply link of 01.04.2026, so no exam date, admit card or result has been announced yet. The previous check on this page was dated 25.09.2026 and the position has not moved since.
