The Rajasthan Senior Computer Instructor Complete Technical Syllabus 2026 covers 16 computer-science subjects in SCI Paper II — substantially more breadth and depth than BCI's 12-subject paper. This page reproduces the official SCI Paper II syllabus per the RSSB 22-23 notification, lists each subject with a one-line scope, calls out the four SCI-specific subjects you will not find in BCI, and links each subject to its chapter-wise MeritPrep map. Useful for aspirants searching for the सीनियर कंप्यूटर इंस्ट्रक्टर सिलेबस in either English or Hindi.

SCI Paper II — 16 subjects with scope
The 16 subjects below match the SCI Paper II section list per the RSSB 22-23 notification. The one-line scope captures the headline coverage; MeritPrep maps every chapter on the platform 1:1 to a subtopic in this syllabus.
- Pedagogy — aims of education, Bloom's taxonomy, learning theories, teaching methods, lesson planning, evaluation, ICT in classrooms.
- Mental Ability — decision making, data interpretation, data sufficiency, logical reasoning, analytical ability, recent IT developments.
- Fundamentals of Computer — number systems, arithmetic operations on binary, computer language categories (machine / assembly / HLL), I/O hardware details.
- Programming Fundamentals — C language depth, control structures, functions, arrays, strings, pointers, structures, file handling, preprocessor, IDEs.
- Object Oriented Programming using C++ and JAVA — classes, inheritance, polymorphism, encapsulation, abstraction, templates/generics, exception handling, files/streams, Java events.
- Data Structures and Algorithms — arrays, linked lists, stacks, queues, trees, graphs, sorting, searching, hashing — SCI depth with complexity analysis.
- Algorithms (standalone, SCI-only) — tree traversals, branch & bound, greedy paradigm, dynamic programming, divide & conquer, complexity classes.
- Digital Logic Systems (standalone, SCI-only) — Boolean algebra, combinational + sequential circuits, registers, counters, memory devices, TTL/CMOS families, binary arithmetic.
- Computer Organization and Architecture (standalone, SCI-only) — Von-Neumann model, register transfer, micro-operations, addressing modes, bus organization, I/O + DMA, memory hierarchy, cache, pipelining.
- Operating Systems — processes, threads, scheduling, synchronization, deadlocks, memory management, virtual memory, file systems, I/O, shell programming, distributed + real-time OS.
- Database Management System — ER model, relational algebra, SQL advanced, normalization & FD theory, transactions & concurrency, indexing, query processing, NoSQL, distributed DB.
- Software Engineering — SDLC phases, requirements & SRS, system modeling & DFDs, software design, testing, UML, OO design, project management.
- Data and Computer Networks — physical layer, data link, network layer (IP, subnetting, IPv6), transport (TCP / UDP), application (DNS, HTTP, SMTP), networking devices, mobile.
- Network Security — threats & malware, attack techniques, cryptography (RSA, AES, hashing, digital signatures), firewalls, LAN/WAN security, backup & recovery, ethical hacking.
- Basics of Communication (standalone, SCI-only) — signals, channel impairments, modulation (ASK / FSK / PSK / QAM), multiplexing, EM propagation, antennas.
- Web Development — HTML5 & DHTML, CSS, JavaScript, DOM & events, AJAX, XML & XSLT, PHP & server-side, web architecture.
SCI-specific depth callouts
Four subjects on the SCI list have no BCI equivalent. Aspirants migrating from a BCI prep base must put extra cycles into these.
SCI-only subjects
- Algorithms — expect complexity classes, NP-completeness intro, greedy vs DP trade-off questions.
- Digital Logic Systems — standalone Boolean algebra + sequential circuit questions, not just "what is a flip-flop" recall.
- Computer Organization & Architecture — addressing modes, micro-operations, cache mapping with cycle calculations.
- Basics of Communication — signal-and-modulation questions adjacent to (but distinct from) the CN physical layer.
SCI Paper II 2022 confirmed this distribution — the paper had multi-step worked questions on external sort merge passes, Banker's algorithm safety, B+ tree fanout and RSA key generation that no BCI paper has carried.
How MeritPrep maps to the SCI syllabus
Every chapter on MeritPrep maps 1:1 to a subtopic in the official SCI Paper II syllabus PDF. SCI lessons run 1,200–1,700 words with multi-step worked examples, edge cases, comparison tables and PYQ-anchored MCQs drawn from SCI Paper II 2022 specifically. Each SCI microtopic ships with 10 SCI-depth MCQs and 3 spaced-repetition flashcards. Chapter mocks run 15Q in 22 minutes, full subject mocks 60Q in 90 minutes and exam simulators 100Q in 150 minutes — the exact RSSB Paper II shape.
The free preview ships the entire DBMS subject plus Chapter 1 of every other subject. SCI Full Access is ₹1,999 one-time — lifetime access until 23 August 2026.
Frequently asked questions
