As per notification no.Ad.F1/15560/2008 dated 22/11/2008, calicut university invited applications for the selection of library assistants and the exam is proposed to conduct on 7/3/2010.the interesting fact is that the syllabus for written test (objective type) (75 marks) will be based on general english,general knowledge,and test of reasoning and there will be no questions from library science!!!! (i read this from some regional newspapers).the syllabus for written test documented on the hall ticket sent to candidates says the same. in normal case,for a subject based exam,questions should ask from the concerned subject.anyway,the candidates are surprised ... pls comment on the matter as to whether this type syallabuses can be welcomed or not?.
