    Downloaded 2026-11-02 from the KVS Syllabus page archive, where it is listed as 'Syllabus of Tier-II examination for direct recruitment - Recruitment Notification No. 1/2025' (3 MB); the file is hosted on cdnbbsr.s3waas.gov.in, the government S3WaaS store from which kvs.gov.in serves its own documents. 98 pages, no printed page numbers (locators are PDF page numbers). Text layer read with PyMuPDF; after writing, every line of each subject's pages was checked against this file: all words are present in the file, except the unit labels, which are kept in the 'unit' field. The Hindi and Sanskrit pages (40, 41, 59, 60, 61 and the Hindi paragraph on 80) have an unreadable text layer (wrong font mapping), so they were read from rendered page images and typed (page 40 and the Hindi paragraph of page 80 were re-compared with the images after writing; pages 41, 59, 60 and 61 were read from the images once, while typing); formulae drawn as pictures (for example in TGT Mathematics, Polynomials) are not in the text layer and are not in the file.
