The SSC MTS Science syllabus covers fundamental concepts from Physics, Chemistry, and Biology. These topics are included under the General Awareness section and are based on the basic level expected in the examination.
The syllabus covers different areas of science, including human biology, chemical reactions, matter, electricity, motion, sound, optics, and other fundamental concepts. You can prepare these topics alongside your General Awareness study plan.
Science is included within General Awareness rather than being tested as a separate section. The key details are given below.

Science is not a separate section in the SSC MTS examination. Questions from Science are included within General Awareness in Session 2.
Science preparation can be divided into Biology, Chemistry and Physics to make the syllabus easier to organise. Candidates should focus on the basic concepts and regularly revise factual information.
Start with topics related to the Animal Kingdom, Plant Kingdom, Tissues, Nutrition, Vitamins and human body systems. Study each system with its basic functions and important terms to build a clear understanding.
Focus on Matter & Atom, Chemical Reaction, Acid Base & Salt, Metals & Non Metals and the Periodic Table. Learn the basic properties, definitions and concepts before moving towards factual revision.
Prepare Motion, Force & Law of Motion, Gravitation Work Energy, Electricity and Unit & Measurement with an emphasis on basic concepts and formulas. Practising simple questions can help reinforce these areas.
Give attention to topics such as Chemistry in Every Day Life & Law of Gases, Magnetic Effect & Heating Current, Optics & Human Eye and Sound. Connecting these concepts with their basic applications can make revision easier.
After completing each subject, solve objective questions based on the prescribed syllabus. Keep short revision notes for important facts, definitions and concepts, and revisit them regularly alongside General Awareness preparation.
The SSC MTS Science syllabus covers fundamental concepts from Biology, Chemistry and Physics at the matriculation level. Since Science forms part of General Awareness, you should balance its preparation with the other topics in the section. Understanding the basics, revising key information and practising objective questions can help build familiarity with the Science portion of the examination.
