OHPC Engineer/Officer Trainee Exam Pattern:
OHPC, in its recruitment notification has not said much about the pattern of written exam except following: the exam is going to consist of two parts: (i) General Aptitude (50 questions) & (ii) Subject Knowledge (100 questions). There would be negative mark - 0.25 mark for each wrong answer.
The notification does not says what are the test sections in General Aptitude or what is the duration of the exam.

Sample/Previous years papers of OHPC GET/DET Exam:
Although OHPC has been conducting the recruitment exams for Engineer Trainee for a very long time, OHPC previous years exam papers available on the net are scarce. I could not find a single paper on the net which can be relied upon as authentic. Therefore my advice for you is to use the following books to prepare for OHPC GET/DET Exam.
