DRDO -Technical Paper
------------------------------

DRDO SET is going to happen on september 6,2009.
Its time to get some exposition to the previous years question Paper.
The technical paper consists of 100 objective type questions covering the entire B-tech Syllabus.

Some questions from previous DRDO papers are given below
