Part A: General English. The Question Paper in General English Will Be Designed To Test The
Engineering/Science Graduate.
The standard of papers in other subjects will approximately be that of an Engineering Degree
Examination of an Indian University. There will be no practical examination in any of the
subjects.
Part A : General English. The question paper in General English will be designed to test the
candidate’s understanding of English and workmanlike use of words.
Part B : General Studies : The paper in General Studies will include knowledge of current
events and of such matters as of everyday observation and experience in their scientific aspects
as may be expected of an educated person. The paper will also include questions on History of
India and Geography of a nature which candidates should be able to answer without special
study.
