I�m Sahil. I appeared for the GAIL exam. As I belong to ece field so my category is telemetry. This exam was different from all others govt. exam. There is no questions from our main subject like digital, analog and other important subjects. The questions were purely based on data comm.. & computer n/w. and some questions were from coding like m-ary, fec, Manchester etc. it was totally unexpected. The time duration was 2 hrs and the total qs 150. There were no negative marking. The technical part consists of 100 qs. & the general awareness part is of 50 qs. Technical part were totally luck based and apti part was easy. The election of a candidate was totally based on his/her luck as no one answering technical part with full confidence. No one is sure of his/her selection. If luck is in my favour I�ll surely go through it I�m expecting of my good result bcoz I answered many ques true . The cut-off expecting is low in technical part.

I got no pattern of previous exam so I�m sharing my views with you. This will surely help students who will compete for this exam. Some questions that I remember are���..

Technical part���

1. tcp connection is-a) connectinless b) connectoin oriented and so on
2. peer to peer connection is in which layer-
3. seeback effect is takes place in- thermocouple

BHEL EXAM PAPER Feb 2009

BHEL PAPER ON 11th FEBRUARY AT TRICHY

Hello friends,
Yesterday i attended the BHEL Engineer Trainee written test in Mechanical stream. They conducted for four brances in engineering. Comp sci, ECE, EEE and Mech. In Mechanical stream there were a total of 240 questions.

120- Technical questions in Mechanical Engineering
120- General Apptitude questions. (Quantitative Aptitude, Reasoning Ability, Logical thinking, English usage)

The questions were mainly asked in
Thermodynamics
Engineering Mechanics
Theory of machines
Production tech
If you have strong fundas, u can really do well in this session...

Following are the questions asked: (I will try to give you as many questions as i remember)
[One Mark for correct answer, 1/5th for wrong answer. Five choices were given]

1)Unit of Entropy (J/kg K or kJ/kg K)
2)A mass of 100kg is falling from a height of 1 m and penetrates the sand into for 1 m. What is the resistance force given by sand.
3)Ratio of specific heats of air. (1.41)
4)A body weighs 3 kg in air. If it is submerged in a liquid, it weighs 2.5 kg. What is the specific gravity of the liquid.
5)Two cars travell in same direction at 40 km/hr at a regular distance. A car comes in a opposite direction in 60km/hr. It meets each car in a gap of 8 seconds. What is the distance between them?
6)A simple problem involing in hoops stress. For sphere: M= [3/2]*p*V*[density of pressure vessel material/Maximum working stress it can tolerate] For Thin walled pressure walls: Hoops stress or stress in the radial direction =p*r/2t

SBI BANK PO PREVIOUS SOLVED PAPER (July 6 , 2008)

SBI BANK PO (PT) SOLVED PAPER (Held on July 6 , 2008)

General English

Directions�(Q. 41�50) Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions given below it. Certain words are printed in bold to help you to locate them while answering some of the questions.

The yearly festival was close at hand. The store room was packed with silk fabrics. gold ornaments, clay bowls full of sweet curd and platefuls of sweetmeats. The orders had been placed with shops well in advance. The mother was sending out gifts to everyone.

The eldest son, a government servant, lived with his wife and children in far off lands. The second son had left home at an early age. As a merchant he travelled all over the world. The other sons had split up over petty squabbles, and they now lived in homes of their own. The relatives were spread all across the world. They rarely visited. The youngest son, left in the company of a servant, was soon bored and stood at the door all day long, waiting and watching. His mother, thrilled and excited, loaded the presents on trays and plates, covered them with colourful kerchiefs, and sent them off with maids and servants. The neighbours looked on.

The day came to an end. All the presents had been sent off.

The child came back into the house and dejectedly said to his mother, �Maa, you gave a present to everyone, but you didn�t give me anything !�

His mother laughed, �I have given all the gifts away to everyone, now see what�s left for you.� She kissed him on the forehead.

The child said in a tearful voice, �Don�t I get a gift ?�

�You�ll get it when you go far away.�

�But when I am close to you, don�t I get something from your own hands ?�
