This blog post follows two of my previous blog post on BSNL JTO Exam titled: BSNL JTO-2009: Notification, Eligibility & Forms & BSNL JTO Exam Syllabus – one giving you the introductory information on BSNL JTO exam, eligibilities, how to apply for the JTO exam while the other gives you the syllabus of BSNL JTO exam.
The focus of this particular blog post is to help you prepare for the exam – by telling you about the exam pattern of BSNL JTO exam and giving you’re the sources of sample papers & available books.
Exam pattern of BSNL JTO exam:
Selection process of BSNL JTO exam consists of a written exam on all-India basis. There are 3 sections in the written test, to be answered in 3 hours without any gap in between the individual sections.
BSNL JTO exam questions are of multiple choice objective type questions, the standards of which are those of Engineering Examinations of an Indian University. Syllabus for the three JTO vacancies i.e. JTO (Civil), JTO (Electrical), JTO (Telecom) can be found from this previous blog post.
Of the 3 sections of the BSNL JTO written test, first two sections contain questions of the individual Engineering stream, with 50 questions in each section. While the third section contains General Ability questions from general English, current affairs, events and developments in Tele Communications, History of India and Geography.
Thus 120 questions of say JTO (Civil) would have following exam pattern:
Section - I: Civil Engineering Stream :50 questions
Section - II: Civil Engineering Stream :50 questions
Section - III: General Ability Test :20 questions
Same exam pattern follows for JTO (Electrical) & JTO (Telecom) also.
Based on the relative performance of all candidates and number of vacancies, BSNL would decide the minimum qualifying marks for candidates category-wise (i.e. OC/OBC/SC/ST/PH) for each section and also in the aggregate. To be selected in the JTO exam, candidates would have to score above this cut-off mark in each individual sections as well as in aggregate.
