NIC Scientific Officer/Engineer-SB (Programmer)

Hi all

I am writing this blog after some verifications with my friends which might be useful to some one .

This time it is completely objective type

One of my friends has written this exam last year and he told me that we can except questions from

the following subjects

  • Java
  • C++
  • Database
  • Linux
  • Unix
As far as I know NIC Does lot of Maintenance/Creating Govt. Websites . So we can except questions in Web technologies and Databases.

I also Took syllabus from another link . Which might be helpul too

String, Tree, Binary search tree, Heap, Graph;
