Junior Engineers Civil & Electrical Exam 2009 Syllabus
The
standard of the questions in Engineering subjects will be approximately
of the level of Diploma in Engineering (Civil/Electrical/Mechanical)
from a recognized Institute, Board or University and recognized by All
India Board of Technical Education.
All the questions will be set in SI units. The details of the syllabus are given below.
(i) General Awareness:
*
Questions will be aimed at testing the candidate's general awareness of
the environment around him/her and its application to society. *
Questions will also be designed to test knowledge of current events and
of such matters of everyday observations and experience in their
scientific aspect as may be expected of any educated person.
*
The test will also include questions relating to India and its
neighbouring countries especially pertaining to History, Culture,
Geography, Economic Scene, General Polity, and Scientific Research,
etc. These questions will be such that they do not require a special
study of any discipline.
