thanx 4 starting the thread..:)

Great Initiative!!..Can anyone clarify whether there is sectional cut-off or not? We do know that there are going to be 2 sections-technical & non-technical. Come on puys, let's help each other. Heaven awaits us, if we somehow make it. Let's make an sincere effort & make it count. BTW, my branch is E&T.; Any suggestions, any advice is really welcome!!!

How to prepare for the general awareness section? Can some provide some info regarding that, other than that do we get some subjective questions as well?

last year lot of questions were from Indian History and really tough questions from civics....like asking for the exact article no a particular law belongs to...

Addition to that they had questions on
-Indian Rivers
-Indian Personalities
-Some on History of ONGC and Indian PSUs such as SBI
-Indian Modern history (Pre-independence era 1900-1950)
-Current affairs (hardly 1-2 questions but the subjective question of 5 marks was on Anna Hazare movement,Write something about Anna/List 5 members of Team Anna)
-the other subjective question was on Taj terrorist attack.
From memory...hope it helps...if any 1 of you comes across any material for ONGC do post it here
Thanks!

Hi, I know it might not be possible, but can you please give a rough estimate of the cutoff for an interview call. I mean how much do we have to score approx (there is no negative marking, i guess). Thanks in advance.

NO official cut-offs declared....LOt of luck comes into play!

All the best!

last year they had a subjective section....this year there ain't any Subjective section, I think its good, LUCK factor would come down drastically!

Thanks for the info
Luck would definitely have to play its part

Is it possible to obtain some sample papers?

Ok,..Thanks,..Just one more question, for the technical paper, is it sufficient to go through the basics of the subject matter or do we really need to go through tough questions. Being a working professional, time is very limited & there is no negative marking, right?

NO negative marking till LAST year

Technical Paper ummmm sirf basics se nhi hoga....NUmericals and theory based questions are highly probable.

Please post the syllabus for the aptitude section,ny specific section that has to be concentrated upon?

I guess the syllabus for apti is the same as CAT, also I believe this is the first time they are having an aptitude test. Judging by the standard of aptitude asked in BEL & SAIL( this time around), apti must not prove to be much of a problem, of course datta123 may be in a better position to comment on it. IMO, it is general awareness & the technical part, we must be wary of. BTW, is there any website, where I can go through the topics of electronics. Sitting idle at office, thinking about all the time I am wasting is killing me. Please suggest

i am not able to find the link for payment challan.. somebody plz share the link!!
