The UPPSC GDC Assistant Professor recruitment for History had 58 vacancies in the 2025 notification (total 1,253 across subjects), with eligibility requiring a Master's degree in History (Ancient, Medieval, Modern, or Archaeology) with at least 55% marks, plus UGC NET or JRF qualification. Competition for these seats is intense, and preparation at postgraduate depth is non-negotiable. This solved papers and practice book from Youth Competition Times covers both dimensions of the UPPSC GDC Assistant Professor History exam — the subject-specific History paper and the General Studies component — in a single 272-page resource. The exam has three stages: Preliminary (objective), Mains (written), and Interview. The Preliminary exam tests both General Studies and History subject knowledge. The General Studies section covers: General Science, Current Events of National and International Importance, History of India including the Indian National Movement, Indian Polity and Economy, Geography of India and the World, and Mental Ability and Statistical Data Analysis. The History subject syllabus for the exam closely mirrors the UGC NET History syllabus — which is a meaningful fact for candidates who have already appeared for NET, since the preparation overlaps substantially. The History syllabus for UPPSC GDC is structured across ten thematic and chronological units: Historical Method, Research Methodology and Historiography (scope and importance of history, objectivity and bias, heuristics, criticism, synthesis and presentation), Pre-history and Proto-history (Paleolithic, Mesolithic, Neolithic, Indus Valley Civilisation — origins, society, trade, decline — and the Vedic Period), Ancient Indian History (Jainism and Buddhism, Mahajanapadas, Mauryan Empire, post-Mauryan states, Gupta period, early medieval India), Medieval Indian History (Sultanate period, Bhakti and Sufi movements, Vijayanagara and Bahmani kingdoms, Mughal Empire, Marathas, and the decline of Mughal power), Modern Indian History (European arrival and colonial consolidation, British economic policies, social and religious reform movements, 1857, growth of Indian nationalism, Congress, Gandhi and mass movements, partition and independence), World History (Renaissance, Reformation, American and French Revolutions, Industrial Revolution, Imperialism, World Wars, Russian Revolution, Cold War, and post-colonial developments), and UP-specific History (historical significance of key regions and monuments in Uttar Pradesh, UP in the context of the freedom struggle). Solved papers from previous UPPSC GDC Assistant Professor recruitment cycles give you the single most reliable signal of what the commission actually asks — question framing, depth of historical detail expected, which sub-periods get more questions, and how General Studies overlaps with the History paper. Practice sets let you simulate the actual exam under timed conditions and identify gaps before the real test. Who is this for? Postgraduate History students and NET-qualified candidates targeting UPPSC GDC Assistant Professor posts. Candidates simultaneously preparing for UGC NET/JRF History, since the syllabus overlap is strong enough that preparation for one significantly advances the other. UPHESC Assistant Professor and other state-level history teaching recruitment aspirants — the subject syllabus pattern is similar across UP teaching recruitment exams. Youth Competition Times' GDC Assistant Professor series for humanities subjects is designed specifically for UP state recruitment — it incorporates UP-specific historical content and the UPPSC commission's known question patterns rather than generic national history content. Published from Prayagraj, YCT has direct knowledge of what UPPSC-style questions look like at this level. The PDF is formatted for clean mobile reading at 272 pages. Start with the solved papers to calibrate your subject depth, then work through the practice sets by historical period. For a 58-vacancy pool with thousands of Master's degree holders competing, every mark in the subject paper matters. --- - **URL:** https://www.allcompetitionclasses.co.in/books/youth-competition-times-uppsc-gdc-assistant-professor-government-degree-college-history-solved-papers-practice-book-tcjuxt0yt1 [Download / View Book](https://www.allcompetitionclasses.co.in/books/youth-competition-times-uppsc-gdc-assistant-professor-government-degree-college-history-solved-papers-practice-book-tcjuxt0yt1) [Browse All Books](https://www.allcompetitionclasses.co.in/books)
