Stage II of the Agniveer (SSR) recruitment is the Written Examination, which is conducted after candidates clear the Stage I online exam. This written test is a crucial step that tests the candidate’s understanding of subjects in more depth, especially based on their performance group. Unlike Stage I, where the focus is on MCQs, Stage II is a bit more selective and slightly tougher, and is conducted for candidates who qualify and are shortlisted for further screening.

I’m writing about this because many candidates preparing for Agniveer (SSR) don’t have proper clarity on what exactly to expect in Stage II. Since this round filters out a large number of candidates, knowing the syllabus beforehand can really make a difference in how you prepare. I’ve come across several aspirants who cracked Stage I but weren’t ready for the written test at Stage II simply because they underestimated its pattern. This article is meant to guide you through what’s covered in this round, what you should focus on, and where you can download the detailed syllabus PDF. If you’re aiming for final selection, understanding Stage II is just as important as clearing Stage I.

Agniveer (SSR) Stage II Exam Pattern and Syllabus Overview

The Stage II written exam is conducted primarily for candidates who qualify from Stage I and appear for the PFT (Physical Fitness Test). However, it’s essential to know that Stage II is selective and not every candidate who clears Stage I appears for this stage. The syllabus is framed based on the trade or branch the candidate is shortlisted for.

Here’s what you need to keep in mind:

• The syllabus is relevant to the academic qualification required for the SSR post (i.e. 10+2 with Physics and Maths and at least one subject from Chemistry/Biology/Computer Science).
• The written test includes subject-based questions to test technical knowledge.
• Candidates from the science stream (as required for SSR) will be asked questions related to Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics based on the 10+2 level syllabus.
• In some batches, English comprehension and General Knowledge may also be included depending on the final shortlisting.

Important Topics to Focus On

Based on previous trends and training batches, here are the areas you should focus on:

• Physics: Modern Physics, Optics, Electrostatics, Current Electricity, Laws of Motion
• Mathematics: Trigonometry, Probability, Calculus (basics), Vectors and 3D Geometry
• Chemistry: Physical Chemistry basics, Organic and Inorganic Chemistry fundamentals
• English (If applicable): Grammar, Synonyms/Antonyms, Comprehension
• General Knowledge: Indian Navy basics, Defence Affairs, Current Affairs

It is not officially declared that every Stage II paper will follow a single pattern, but being prepared across these subjects will help you stay ahead.

Preparation Tips for Agniveer SSR Stage II

• Revise NCERT textbooks for Class 11 and 12, especially for Physics, Chemistry, and Maths
• Solve previous year Navy SSR question papers, even if they’re from earlier patterns

• Stay updated with recent developments in defence and Indian Navy-related current affairs

Final Words

Stage II of the Agniveer SSR selection process is not just a formality. If you’re serious about becoming part of the Indian Navy, then you must approach this round with full focus. Many candidates clear Stage I with online practice and mock tests but fumble in Stage II simply due to a lack of preparation. Don’t make that mistake. Stick to the syllabus, practise regularly, and keep your basics clear. If you’re aiming to get shortlisted in the final merit list, Stage II is your opportunity to prove that you’ve got what it takes.
