DRDO SET- Pattern and Sample Paper
=======================================================
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.
