# Syllabus Overlap Mapping

### **Technical + GK/IQ Syllabus Mapping (Cross-Organization)**

**Note:** GK/IQ content and depth may vary based on organization; some (e.g., NRB) may have no GK/IQ component.

***

#### **Core Technical (≈ 65–70% overlap across exams)**

* **Programming Fundamentals:** C/C++, OOP, data types, control structures, pointers, algorithms
* **Data Structures & Algorithms (DSA):** Arrays, Linked Lists, Stack, Queue, Trees, Graphs, Searching/Sorting, Complexity
* **DBMS:** ER modeling, Normalization, SQL, Transactions, Indexing
* **Operating Systems:** Processes, threads, scheduling, deadlock, memory, file systems
* **Computer Networks:** OSI/TCP-IP, IP addressing, routing/switching, protocols, network security
* **Software Engineering:** SDLC, requirement analysis, UML, testing, maintenance

***

#### **Secondary Technical (≈ 20–25% overlap)**

* Web technologies (HTML, CSS, JS, REST, client-server, security basics)
* Computer architecture (CPU, memory, I/O)
* Information security (cryptography, authentication, firewalls, malware)
* MIS & system analysis (decision support, documentation, dashboards)

***

#### **GK/IQ (when included)**

* **General Knowledge:** Politics, economy, international affairs, science & technology updates
* **Aptitude/IQ:** Logical reasoning, quantitative reasoning, verbal reasoning

***

#### **Organization-Specific Topics (≈ 10–15%)**

* **NRB/Banks:** Core banking & financial systems
* **NEA:** SCADA, power systems, reliability
* **NTC/Telecom:** Switching, wireless, telecom infrastructure
* **CAAN:** Aviation IT, real-time systems
* **Province/Local:** E-governance, MIS reporting, IT policies

***

### **Study Strategy (Phase-wise)**

#### **Phase 1 — Base (3–4 months)**

* Core technical subjects + basic GK & aptitude
* Covers majority of all exams

#### **Phase 2 — Strengthen (1–2 months)**

* Secondary technical topics + deeper GK topics
* MCQ practice + timing strategies

#### **Phase 3 — Final Revision**

* Organization-specific topics
* Past questions & mock tests (technical + GK/IQ)
* Written/long-answer preparation
