Hi Seniors,

I am preparing for PSU exams like NTPC, PowerGrid, etc. Please guide me with the syllabus for the same. Also, refer to any books, etc., for preparation. Although the question is asked repeatedly by many like me, yet I could not find any answer to them. :idea:

Such examinations generally consist of two equal portions:

a) General aptitude; and

b) Subject knowledge.

The general portion consists of Maths, General Knowledge, English, and Mental aptitude (Verbal aptitude). Speed and accuracy are important for this portion. Special focus should be given to Maths, as it is usually a weak area for many candidates. I found the book "Quicker Maths" by M Tyra (Banking Services Chronicle Publication) very useful as it contains a lot of shortcut methods. Be thorough in this book, and you shall face no problems in Maths. For the remaining subjects in General Aptitude, you can use any other books available in the market.

Read good English newspapers for English and General Knowledge. For the technical portion, go through the books used in your qualifying degree. Such examinations generally require answering 100 to 120 questions in 2 hours with negative marks for wrong answers. Therefore, be careful while answering, and do not guess unless it is between two options.

Regards

Hi Charub,

There are two aspects to your question:

1) How to prepare for the technical aspects.
2) How to prepare for general aspects and interviews.

For the first one, you can refer to specific books available on preparing for PSU exams like SAIL/ONGC/GAIL/NTPC. You can explore the various options available and decide for yourself the most suitable one.

For the second aspect, you can go through Competition Success Review, Civil Service Chronicle, Manorama Year Book 2009, Competition Success Year, and practically work out mock interviews and group discussions with your friends. Alternatively, you can attend special coaching classes available in your town.

All the best,
Premson
