The GOT 97 (Gazetted Officers Test, Paper II) is the second part of the departmental examination for officers in the Education Department (Andhra Pradesh and Telangana). Like Paper I (GOT 88), this is a “With Books” examination, allowing candidates to refer to official Bare Acts during the test.Essential Books to Carry
For the exam hall, it is recommended to have the following Bare Acts:
A.P./T.S. CCA (Classification, Control, and Appeal) Rules.
Panchayat Raj Act (specifically sections on Mandal and Zilla Parishads).
School Education Service Rules.
SSC Scheme Reference Books.
Practical Tips for the Grand Test
Since the test is open-book, grand tests usually evaluate your speed in finding specific G.O. numbers.
Mark Your Books: Use sticky tabs for “CCA Rules” and “SSC Scheme.”
Focus on Penalties: Expect at least 3-5 questions on the “Procedure for Imposing Penalties.”
Check Dates: Note the dates of specific G.O.s, as the exam often asks “Which G.O. introduced the new SSC scheme?” (Answer: G.O. Ms. No. 63, dated 16-01-1969).
