As mentioned above Paper-2 will be a descriptive Paper of 50 Marks. Let’s look at the syllabus of the Paper-2 exam:

Based on the performance in Paper-1 and scoring the cut-off marks in Paper-2, candidates will be shortlisted for appearing in the Document Verification to check their eligibility as per the information given by them in the online Application Form. The eligible candidates whose documents are found in order will be considered for final selection.

Final Result: As the vacancies for MTS are in two age groups i.e. (i) 18 to 25 years and (ii) 18 to 27 years, in the final result, there will be separate age group-wise, State/ UT-wise and category-wise cut-offs. For the candidates who are eligible for both the age groups, vacancies will first be filled in the age group of 18-25 years.

Final Selection: Final selection and allocation of States/ UTs will be made on the basis of the performance of the candidates in Paper-1, the preference of States/ UTs given by them in the online Application Form and the age group of the candidates. Normalized scores of the candidates in Paper-1 will be used to determine merit and the candidates will only be considered against the vacancies of States/ UTs for which they have given their preference in the online Application Form.

Resolution of tie cases: In cases where more than one candidate secures the equal aggregate marks, the tie will be resolved by applying the following methods one after another:

• Total marks in Paper-2.
• Date of birth i.e. the candidate older in age gets preference.
• Alphabetical order of the names.

After going through the above mentioned detailed syllabus of the SSC MTS Paper-2 2022 Exam, the next step is to start practicing for the Descriptive Paper in the medium of language chosen by the candidate while filling out the application form. Start your preparation by practicing important essay and letter writing topics for the descriptive paper. Regular practice will help in achieving accuracy and a high score in the exam.
