Study Notes
Exam Overview
- The examination is conducted by the Rajasthan Public Service Commission for the post of Programmer in the Department of Information Technology and Communication.
- It consists of two papers: Paper I and Paper II, each with 100 questions.
Paper I: Reasoning Test, Numerical Analysis, and General Knowledge
- Focus on problem-solving techniques, data interpretation, data sufficiency, and logical reasoning.
- General knowledge and current affairs concerning India and Rajasthan are significant components.
- Database Management Systems encompass:
- ER diagrams and data models (relational and object-oriented).
- Conceptual database design and normalization.
- Distinctions between physical and logical databases alongside data abstraction.
- Essentials of SQL application development, including embedded SQL, stored procedures, triggers, and views.
- Internal workings of RDBMS include:
- Physical data organization methods (sequential, indexed, random, hashed).
- Structures like B trees and B+ trees.
- Query optimization strategies and join algorithms.
- Transaction processing concepts, concurrency control, and recovery management.
- Lock-based protocols and two-phase locking.
- Understanding Data Communication and Computer Networks:
- Different architectures such as circuit switching and packet switching.
- Layers of networks, including physical and data link layers.
- TCP/IP stack, IP networks, internet fundamentals, and secure communication through firewalls and intrusion detection.
Paper II: System Analysis and Design
- Core system concepts include definitions, characteristics, elements, and boundaries.
- Types of system development lifecycle and initial requirements analysis including feasibility studies.
- Tools for system planning: DFD, data dictionaries, decision trees, and structured analysis.
- Software Life Cycle stages and methodologies in software engineering paradigms.
- System analysis methods emphasizing feasibility, requirement analysis, and cost-benefit analysis.
- System design involves modular design, data and procedural design, and object-oriented design principles.
- Software development focuses on efficient code documentation, design paradigms, and the verification of programs.
- Maintenance considerations include characteristics, tasks, and potential side effects.
Programming Concepts
- Introduction to internet applications using Java and understanding byte code benefits.
- Object-oriented programming (OOP) principles covering abstraction, encapsulation, inheritance, and exceptions.
- Java programming fundamentals include topics like variables, control flow, method overloading, and file I/O.
- Advanced Java concepts encompass working with arrays, strings, vectors, and derived classes.
- Knowledge of JSP, RMI, Java applets, and servlets, along with the DotNet framework and visual programming interfaces.
Exam Details
- Total duration for each paper is 2 hours, with a total of 200 marks available across both papers.
- Negative marking policy: One-third of the marks will be deducted for incorrect answers.
- Each question includes five options, and candidates must shade only one circle indicating their answer.
- A missed question without an answer marked will result in a deduction of one-third of the marks if more than 10% of questions are unanswered.
- Extra time of 10 minutes is granted post the scheduled duration to double-check answers.
