DRDO Question Pattern
DRDO Scientist Entry Test(SET) is a 3 hour test.It consists of
100 Technical Questions
25 Genral Knowledge Questions
25 Aptitude.
Technical Questions
----------------------
The technical questionnaire will be covering the entire engineering syllabus,whatever the stream you have applied for.It may contain questions from basic subjects to the advanced level.
So better use GATE coaching tests for the preparation.
Electronics and Communication paper usually have the following specialized subjects
Radar and Television
Satellite communication,
Electro magnetic and Antenna theory,
Digital communication and filter design
Microprocessors.
The questions from basic subjects like analog and digital electronics,networks will be usually easy but sometimes a little twisted.
Aptitude
-----------
The aptitude questions will be covering the usual topics like
Ratio & Proportion
Time and distance.
Time and work
Progression based questions.
Simple geometry.
Logarithms.
Standard aptitude text books like Agarwaal is recommended.
General knowledge.
----------------------
A sample GK paper is posted recently in this site.Current affairs and general questions on history,geography,science etc are asked.
Magazines like Competition Success Review,Year Books and GK related websites can be used.

Tips for Professional Resume Writing
If you're writing a resume for a technical position here are a few valid guidelines.
1) Put your Technical Skills first
The most important resume tip is to highlight your technical skills, training and knowledge in the best manner. Make sure it is detailed and organized and that your technical expertise is clear. Your resume will most likely be electronically perused for the important keywords before routing it to the prospective employer. So always make sure you include relevant keywords, such as industry or job jargon, on all operating systems and programs with which you are proficient.
2) Customize Your Qualifications for the applied position.
The second resume tip is to customize your qualifications according to their relevance to the position for which you are applying, with the most relevant listed first. Your degree or certification is only listed if relevant to the available position. If, for example, you are applying for a graphic designer post and one of the prior positions you've held is as a graphic designer that job should be listed first - no matter where it appeared in your work experience chronologically.
3) Quantify Your Past Results
The third tip is to quantify your past experience and the knowledge gained. You could, for instance, enumerate the code lines you debugged, the amount of money you contributed to company’s turn-over, or the number of websites you have designed or developed.
4) Be active in your reference.
The fourth resume tip is to be active rather than passive in your resume. Begin each sentence with an action, keeping it in the past tense.
Eg. - Provided website maintenance services to an average of 25 customers per day for a period of 2 years.
It is important to clearly describe the value you provided to the employer in the past tense and starting with an action word. This will surely boost your chances since employers always prefer actions to words.
5) Sell yourself well.
The fifth resume tip is to blow your own horn. This is not the time to be shy. Treat your resume as a marketing and sales tool for yourself. Write it as if you are the product and the employer the consumer. Sell yourself. If you have a significant accomplishment that doesn't seem relevant to the job list it separately, but do list it.
6) Clear and Concise
The sixth tip is to be concise but the at same time put your point. Try to complete your resume in one to two pages. Don’t elaborate the details of past projects where you were not a vital part. Also keep in mind not to give any unnecessary information regarding yourself or your previous company to the potential employer.
7) Check for Silly Mistakes
The final tip is to check for errors. Check yourself for grammatical and punctuation errors or typographical mistakes. These types of mistakes gives you an image of carelessness.
