This brings me back to the topic on presenting prep materials for your SAIL Technician Trainee Recruitment Exam, as promised through my previous article titled: SAIL BSP Recruitment 2013 Notification, Form & Eligibility. If you have not gone through the same, let me tell you that article tells you whether or not you are eligible to appear for the exam and how to apply for it.
Without wasting any further time, let us go for the subject matter of this blog post. In the very beginning let me tell you that prep materials available on the net for SAIL Technician Trainee exam is scarce - almost non-existent. Also, whatever prep materials exists, they are not authentic.
SAIL Technician Trainee exam Pattern:
There are two papers in SAIL Technician Trainee exam: Aptitude test paper and Technical paper.
Four test sections of SAIL Aptitude paper are as follows:
i) Quantitative Aptitude
ii) Test of Reasoning.
iii) General English
iv) General Awareness.
These test sections are common to all. However, SAIL Technical paper on the other hand is specific to your discipline of engineering.
SAIL, in the notification stage, has not given test-section wise mark distribution of Technician Trainee exam. But more details are going to be given along with the Admit Card. However, for the sake of preparation you can assume following distribution of marks:
i) Quantitative Aptitude: 35 marks
ii) Test of Reasoning: 45 marks
iii) General English: 35 marks
iv) General Awareness: 35 marks
Total 150 marks in Aptitude test paper. Similarly you can assume 100 marks for Technical Paper (Engineering) in SAIL Technician Trainee exam.
SAIL Technician Trainee exam Papers:
I could not find very authentic sample paper/previous years exam papers for this exam.. Therefore my suggestion would be to base your preparation using following books.
