It discusses about RITES GET Exam Pattern, provides you the Syllabus and points you to where from you can download the sample papers & also lists the prep books you can use for RITES Exam for selection of Graduate Executive Trainee (GET).

RITES GET Exam Sample Papers & Books:
I tried very hard to find previous years of RITES GET written Exam on the net. But could not find any. However, as the standard of RITES exam is that for graduate engineers, I would advise you to base your preparation for your engineering disciplines, based on GATE exam. If you base your preparation based on GATE, besides RITES, you can appear for engineering jobs in other premier PSUs in India as you can find in my blog post titled: Jobs through GATE 2013 List of PSU Organisation recruiting.
