AIR-DD exam Sample papers, Books & Exam pattern

AIR DD Engineering Assistants exam sample papers

AIR (All India Radio) & Doordarshan (DD) had few days back issued recruitment notification for 128 Engineering Assistants and my previous blog post titled: AIR-DD Recruitment 2010 for Engineering Assistants: Notification, Eligibility, Forms covers the same.

This blog post focuses on giving you the study materials for the AIR-DD exam.

AIR-DD exam pattern:

The selections for the post of Engineering Assistants in AIR & DD would be based on the written test to be held on 24th October, 2010. The written exam would consist of 200 objective type questions with 400 total marks, which has to be answered in 2 hours.

AIR & DD Engineering Assistant exam pattern

The test would have two parts – one for your subject of specialization and the other for GK/Current Affairs with distribution of marks as given at right.

There is negative marking: -1 for each wrong answer.

As can be seen in the table, close to 90% marks are based on the subject of your specialization and hence you need to put proper emphasis on the same.

Syllabus for All India Radio & Doordarshan exam:

As given in page-2 of the recruitment notification, the syllabus for the AIR-DD written exam specialization subject would be that of the 3-year Diploma courses/ B.Sc (Physics). As can be expected, there is no syllabus for the GK/Current Affairs paper.

All India Radio & Doordarshan exam sample papers:

For the GK/Current Affairs section of AIR-DD Engineering Assistants exam, you can find very good materials in the GK section of competition master website. You can also find good sample papers in the Bank PO section of the same website as shown below:

All India Radio & Doordarshan exam model papers

I had tried hard to locate sample/model/previous year’s paper for subject test section of AIR-DD exam for Engineering Assistants, but failed to locate any.

Prep Book for All India Radio & Doordarshan exam:

I could locate following book for AIR-DD exam for Engineering Assistants on the net and I am sure the same would be useful:

Prasar Bharati All India Radio—Engg. Asst. Exam Guide by RPH Editorial Board

Cover Price:Rs 325 Discount:Rs. 26 (8%) Offer Price:Rs. 299

As said in the previous blog post, materials for preparation for AIR-DD Engineering Assistant exam on the net is very few and the same are non-authoritative. Therefore from my own experience on dealing with similar exams I have posted the above sample papers/books for the exam. If you locate any other good resources for AIR-DD Engineering Assistant exam, kindly post the same as a comment below to help the future examinee.

Siva,
Yes, Final year students can apply for the AIR-DD exam provided the results are declared by 02/08/2010.

I quote below the relevant portion (Note i.0 in page-2) of the recruitment notification:

"Age limit and essential qualifications must be fulfilled as on 02/08/2010 (closing date)"
