UP TGT SCIENCE

(Subject Code — 05)

Complete Syllabus  •  Structured Study Modules  •  Previous-Year Question-Paper Pattern Analysis

2026 BATCH  |  RECORDED VIDEO LECTURES + LIVE STREAM CLASSES

EXAMINATION SCHEME

The table below summarises the current UP TGT written-examination pattern that this course is mapped against. Candidates preparing for the Science paper should treat the Concerned Subject section as the highest-priority area of study.

This document compiles the official UP TGT Science syllabus (Subject Code 05) into a structured, teachable module — organised exactly the way the Adhyayanam faculty team delivers it through recorded video lectures and live stream classes. Each topic has been broken down into manageable units, mapped to an estimated question-paper weightage derived from an analysis of previous years' papers, and paired with a video-lecture count so that students can plan their preparation timeline with precision.

The syllabus is divided into two sections as prescribed: Section A – Physics and Section B – Chemistry. Detailed module-wise breakdowns for both sections follow on the next pages.

Six modules covering complete Physics as per the prescribed UP TGT Science syllabus.

Section A Total: 6 Modules  |  100 Recorded Video Lectures

Nine modules covering complete Chemistry as per the prescribed UP TGT Science syllabus.

Section B Total: 9 Modules  |  100 Recorded Video Lectures

Based on Adhyayanam faculty's analysis of previous years' UP TGT Science papers, the relative emphasis given to each topic within Physics and Chemistry is summarised below. These figures are indicative planning estimates — used internally to sequence the video curriculum and mock-test difficulty — and should be read alongside the official syllabus, not as a substitute for it.

Section A — Physics

Section B — Chemistry

High-priority zones (highest bars above) receive proportionally more recorded lectures, extra practice sheets and dedicated live doubt-clearing sessions in the Adhyayanam study plan.

The complete UP TGT Science course is delivered as a blend of self-paced recorded lectures and scheduled live classes, so that working candidates and full-time aspirants can both follow the same structured timeline.

What the Course Includes

•  Topic-wise recorded video lectures (watch anytime, unlimited replays for course validity)

•  Live interactive stream classes with faculty, held on a weekly timetable

•  Printable / downloadable module notes for every topic listed in this syllabus

•  Section-wise and full-length mock tests modelled on the previous-year paper pattern

•  Weekly live doubt-clearing sessions

•  Performance tracking dashboard and topic-wise scorecards

•  Dedicated WhatsApp / Telegram support group for announcements and quick queries

Choose the plan that fits your preparation style. EMI options are available on all plans; scholarship discounts apply for early enrolment.

* Fees are indicative and subject to change. Please confirm current fees, active offers and EMI terms directly with the Adhyayanam admissions team before enrolling.
