Note: 1 mar

for correct answer and -1/4 for wrong answer.

A situation was given and questions were based on that situation li e cube paine d with 3 colors and then divided into 64 equal cubes what no of cubes with singl e color and so on. Two statements are given and as ed whether the question can be solved based on t he statements? A person traveled east west and finally how far is from the source? Note: To clear the exam you need to clear the sectional cutoff of each sub-secti on in Section-II also. This was the major deciding factor as after attempting se ction-I for 75 min then only section-II can be attempted for the next 75 mins The technical paper of E&T was difficult as it was mainly theoretical and were b ased on concepts of the subjects. Section-II will be easy for an engineer, but t he time may not be sufficient as there is sub sectional cutoff. Note: In the instructions of admit card it was told to bring only ball point pen but in the exam they the answers were needed to be mar ed with HB pencil. So, p lease ta e pencils with you for the examination. Good luc for your attempts to be a part of SAIL. Awaiting result of the exam now.

Test Paper :16 Paper Type : Candidate Experiences Test Date : 19 July 2009 Test Location : visa hapatnam Posted By : Sundara Ramaiah Dear aspirants of SAIL, here is my experience and guidance for the ET (ECE) exa m. The paper consists of two sections. Section-I : Technical of Domain Branch. Section-II : General Awareness 100 questions- 1 hour time. 150 questions- 90 mts time. All are multiple choice questions with 1/4 negative mar ing. The technical paper is not very difficult. Our general subjects (ECE) similar to any compettive exam are to be read thoroughly. less number of problems are give n.Those given are, from EDC, communcation subjects. Friends, Maths is the subject which I didn't expect. Simple problems are given . Easy to score. Matrices, differential equations, series, areas of curves, probability etc from our engineering mathematics subject are given. Around 12 problems came. I was ab le to answer only two. Section II consists of 1) General nowledge/awareness (35 questions) : not difficult. basic Biology, P hysics must also be seen. 2) Verbal (around 40 questions) :: I found it difficult. Comprehensions, synonym s, antonyms, fill in the blan s etc. should not be neglected. preparation is nee ded 3) Arithmetic :: R.S. Agarwal is enough. But 2 to 3 questions from each chapter . All types of problems are given. 4) Reasoning : R.S. Agarawal. Here too all types pf problems. In section II, each subsection has its individual cut off. . Don't try to attemp t all the questions. Time management is very important. I have less hopes on this exam. Its an experi ence for me. All the best my dear friends!!
