GAIL Executive Trainee (ET) Exam is scheduled to be held on 23.10.2011 (Sunday). This blog post is being made for those who are searching for GAIL exam study materials to help them prepare for the same.
At first, GAIL ET Exam pattern:
GAIL in its notification has given following pattern of written exam for Executive Trainees:
Paper-1: Subject Knowledge Test - 100 questions.
Paper-2: General Aptitude Test - 50 questions.
While Subject Knowledge Test would be specific to your own branch/discipline, General Aptitude Test would be common to all. These 150 Objective type questions are to be answered within two hours duration.
There is negative marking - 1/4th mark will be deducted for each wrong answer. As you can see, you have to give special emphasis on the Subject Test, as it has twice the marks of Aptitude Test. Following the GAIL ET written exam, the short listed candidates would be called for GD/Interview.
GAIL ET Exam Sample Papers:
Almost no material is available on the net for GAIL exam – I could not find a single sample or previous years GAIL papers (this is what prompted me for making this blog post – to search for GAIL Exam study materials on net and present the same to you).
In absence of any prep materials for any recruitment exam, what you should do is search for similar recruitment exams and use those sample papers & books. In this case for GAIL ET exam, there is a very similar exam for another public sector industry – NTPC ET recruitment exam.
The pattern of NTPC ET recruitment exam is similar to that of GAIL ET recruitment exam – it also has two papers: Aptitude test & Technical test, for the same branches/disciplines. There are 55 questions in Technical test & 35 in Aptitude – a total of 90 multiple-choice questions, which needs to be answered in 2 hours. It also has negative marking: 1/4th mark deducted for each wrong answer. Hence I am very sure that you would find my previous blog article titled: NTPC Executive Trainee Test: Exam Pattern/Papers/Books useful as prep material for GAIL ET Exam.
