IOCL Recruitment 2013 (Engineer) probable dates
|
|
December 31, 2011

|
|
|
 Many of the readers of this blog failed to apply for IOCL recruitment this year (i.e. in 2012), as in order to apply for this IOCL job opportunity, they had to apply for GATE 2012 much earlier – last date for which was already over on 21st October, 2011.
Age-wise they are still eligible (Max. age 26 years for General category) and hence they want to appear in IOCL recruitment next year (i.e. in 2013). When would the next IOCL recruitment notification for Engineers come out? This is the question I am being asked by them.
I have been following IOCL recruitment notification closely for last 3 years and to answer this question, I did an exam date trend analysis and following are my findings:
IOCL Engineer Recruitment 2010: (Total 200 vacancy)
Notification date: 30th September 2009.
Application Form dates: 11/01/2010 to 13/02/2010
Disciplines: CE/CH/EE/IN/ME/MT
IOCL Engineer Recruitment 2011: (Total 300 vacancy)
Notification date: 21st September 2010.
Application Form dates: 10/01/2011 to 12/02/2011
Disciplines: CE/CH/EE/IN/ME/MT
IOCL Engineer Recruitment 2012: (Total 225 vacancy)
Notification date: 19th September 2011.
Application Form dates: 02/01/2012 to 11/02/2012
Disciplines: CE/CH/CS/EE/IN/ME/MT
So as you can find from above, each year IOCL brings out the Recruitment Notification for Graduate Engineers just after the exam notification comes out for GATE i.e. in middle to last week of September.
For example notification for GATE 2013 should come out on or around 15th September, 2012. Therefore IOCL recruitment notification 2013 for Engineers should come out in the 3rd week of September, 2012. Also, the online form for IOCL Engineer Recruitment 2013 should become available from the 1st week of January, 2013 and the last date to apply online should be around 10th-15th February,2013. Kindly note that these are only exam forecast.
You can also find the name of engineering disciplines for which IOCL is recruiting for last 3 years - these are: CE/CH/CS/EE/IN/ME/MT. So if you are from these disciplines, you should check this webpage of IOCL from the 3rd week of September, 2012 onwards for IOCL Recruitment Notification 2013 for Graduate Apprentice Engineer (GAE).
Together with this, please check the GATE 2013 exam notification date, as only after applying for GATE 2013 you can apply for IOCL Engineers Recruitment 2013 (i.e. you have to use the GATE registration number in the IOCL Online form 2013).
Following are my exam/notification date forecast for GATE 2013:
Date of GATE 2013 exam notification: 15th September, 2012.
Date of GATE 2013 exam: 10th February, 2013.
Date of GATE 2013 result: 15th March, 2013.
In 2012, besides IOCL, three other major PSU’s used the GATE 2012 for their recruitment of engineers– NTPC, Power Grid & BHEL. I expect that in 2013 too these PSU companies are going to use the GATE 2013 score. You can find the eligibility and other details from the blog post of mine titled: List of PSU recruiting through GATE 2012– Notification Eligibility Forms.

In addition to above, you must have already applied for GATE 2012, last date for which was over on 21st October, 2011. You should also appear in the same, which is scheduled to be held on 12th February 2012 as IOCL would short list candidates for GD/Interview based on GATE 2012 core.

As said above, IOCL would short list the candidates for GD/Interview based on GATE 2012 core. IOCL itself will get the GATE-2012 scores directly from GATE authorities; you do not have to send it to them.
So GD & Interview are the only two stages which will be conducted by IOCL for selecting Graduate ET.
IOCL Recruitment 2012 GD/Interview Dates:
IOCL notification is silent about the date on which GD/Interview would be held, as they would shortlist the candidates only after GATE 2012 result is declared on 15th March, 2012.

IBPS CWE 2012 Specialist Officers Notification, Eligibility & Form
|
|
December 29, 2011
|
|
|
|
 IBPS has just today issued exam notification for Common Written Exam (CWE) 2012 for recruitment of Specialist Officers in 19 Indian PSU banks. Online submission of application form starts tomorrow (30.12.2011) and the last date for the same is 21.01.2012.
This blog post touches upon the salient points in the IBPS CWE notification to help you apply for the same as well as to archive it for future aspirants of Specialist Officers i.e. for IBPS Specialist Officers CWE 2013/2014, so that they can know what this exam is and prepare themselves accordingly.
In another blog article titled IBPS Specialist Officers CWE exam pattern, sample papers & books, I would provide you the prep materials for the exam.
Before wasting time further let us know what is IBPS Common Written Exam.
What is IBPS CWE for Specialist Officers:
IBPS (Institute of Banking Personnel Selection) is organizing the first ever Common Written Exam (CWE) for recruitment of Specialist Officers from the field of IT/Agriculture/Law/HR/Marketing & Rajbhasha. The exam is being called as “Common” as it is being held combinedly for recruitment in 19 PSU banks, list of which is as under:
Allahabad Bank, Andhra Bank Oriental, Bank of Baroda, Bank of Commerce, Bank of India, Bank of Maharashtra, Canara Bank, Central Bank of India, Corporation Bank, Dena Bank, Indian Bank, Indian Overseas Bank, Punjab & Sind Bank, Punjab National Bank, Syndicate Bank, UCO Bank, Union Bank of India, United Bank of India, Vijaya Bank.
If you would like to join the Indian banking industry as a professional, here is your golden chance, since through this single exam you can get jobs in as many as the 19 Indian banks given above.
But point to note here is IBPS CWE by alone does not give you that bank job – it is only the first step for selection. Subsequent to appearing in IBPS CWE, you have to apply for each bank individually with your IBPS CWE score when the recruitment notification comes out for that bank. Bank is going to shortlist the candidates based on IBPS CWE score and than call your for further selection process of GD/Interview.
In other words, what these PSU banks have done through IBPS CWE is – they have got rid of the written exam for each individual bank. The process now has become much simpler for you as the following graphics tells you:
Bank Selection process before IBPS CWE came:
Bank Selection process after IBPS CWE came:

AIEEE 2012 Mock Test
|
|
December 25, 2011
|
|
|
|
 For those of you who intend to appear AIEEE 2012 in online mode, there is a good news: CBSE has recently released a very good quality mock test for AIEEE 2012 examinees. I had gone through the mock test myself and I feel I should share that with you, as this AIEEE 2012 mock test is definitely going be a great asset in your preparation for AIEEE. The mock test gives you the exact look and feel of a real time AIEEE 2012 test environment - what the test screen looks like, how to answer the questions on a Computer Based Test (CBT) etc.
The online version of AIEEE 2012 is scheduled to be held in twenty two city/towns between 7th May to 26th May 2012. The online exam is held twice a day : Morning shift from 9.00 AM to 12.00 PM and Afternoon shift from 2.00 PM to 5.00 PM. You can click here to find the list of 22 town/cities in which Online AIEEE 2012 would be conducted. If you appear in online AIEEE, you can save upto Rs. 300 in Exam fees compared to the Offline mode.
The AIEEE 2012 mock test has been designed by TCS and it has two flavours:
1.0 Online mock test - you have to be connected to the internet all along you attempt the mock test, which is of duration 90 minutes.
2.0 Offline mock test - you have to download the installation (.exe) file, which is of size 5.04 MB. After downloading the file, run the same to install it in your desktop.
You can click here to find the above two options of AIEEE 2012 mock test. Which mode is better? In my opinion, Offline mock test is better as you just have to download the file only once and after you install the same on your computer, it becomes all yours - you do not have to be connected to internet all along the mock test time. Also, someday AIEEE server resource may become unavailable either because of change in server resource or because of internet connectivity. If you have the application software in your computer, there is no such worry!
After you download the AIEEE mock test, attempt the same to get used to the test environment - You will notice that the timer starts counting down on top right corner, where the photograph appears.
Also, you will see the three subjects being displayed in the top right. As you over your mouse over the subjects, you get the statistics - how many questions attempted, how many remained etc.
Pay particular attention to the option buttons at the bottom of the mock test screen - "Mark for Review", "Skip", "Save & Next" & "Cancel". Getting used to their functionality would help you to avoid costly mistakes in the actual AIEEE 2012 online test.
Hope above AIEEE 2012 Mock Test helps you in your preparation for the test. You can find some more prep materials for AIEEE in my previous blog posts:
Find out from this post what is the exam pattern of AIEEE, what papers you have to appear in, how many questions are asked, marks per question, from which section of AIEEE syllabus how many questions are asked etc.
Download/View AIEEE previous years papers, based on which you can prepare for AIEEE.
It gives you the dates/schedule of AIEEE-11 counseling along with the AIEEE-2011 counseling information booklet from which you can have enough idea on what would be the AIEEE-2012 counseling process and the likely dates.
I would be on the look out for more prep materials for AIEEE. So keep visiting this blog. Best wishes!

ISRO Assistant Exam Pattern, Syllabus, Sample Papers & Books
|
|
December 22, 2011
|
|
|
|
 As the ISRO Assistant exam draws near (to be held on 26.02.2012), all the aspirants for this ISRO job must be searching for the exam prep materials - the exam pattern, sample papers & prep books. This blog post is being made specifically for this purpose- to help you prepare for ISRO Assistant Exam.
To present these materials to you, I had hard time finding them on the net as most of the links leads to either ISRO exams for Technical Assistants or the exam for Scientist/Engineers. However, I could fish out the previous three years actual exam papers of ISRO Assistants exam from which we can find the pattern of exam & the syllabus as well.
You can also go through my previous blog post titled: ISRO Assistant Recruitment 2012 Notification, Eligibility & Form to know how to apply for this exam.
ISRO Assistant Exam Pattern & Syllabus:
The written exam for the ISRO Assistant consists of two papers – Paper I & Paper 2, both containing 100 marks. You can find the pattern of ISRO Assistant exam, based on last three years (held on 20th May, 2006; 20th July, 2008 & 10th January, 2010) below, which gives you the number of question and mark per questions for each test section. There is no prescribed syllabus by ISRO for this ISRO Assistant exam, but you can find what can be the type of questions from the previous years exam papers in the next section.
 The Paper 1 contains test sections on General English & General Studies. The descriptive General English consists of only two questions, weighing 10 marks each in which one essay & one letter is to be written. The General Studies sections consists of questions on “Test of reasoning”. The Paper 1 of ISRO Assistant exam is of duration 2 hours (10 AM to 12 Noon). You can find the pattern/format of Paper 1 in the table at right.
The Paper 2 contains test sections on Arithmetic, GK & Computer Literacy. As you can find, the questions are not very difficult. The paper 2 is of duration 2-1/2 hours (1:30 PM to 4 PM). You can find the pattern/format of Paper 2 in the table at right.
Mind you, this pattern of ISRO Assistant exam is based on the exam held in 2006,2008 & 2010 and you may see some difference in the pattern of exam to be held in 2012.

In addition to above actual Previous Years ISRO Assistant Exam papers, I would also like to point you to these sample papers for IBPS CWE Clerks exam. Why? Because the bank clerk exams have the same test sections as the ISRO Assistant Exam - down to even the computer literacy and descriptive English paper. Even the qualification eligibility is same for both the exams - graduation.
Prep Books for ISRO Assistant Exam papers:
As told before, exam prep materials for ISRO Assistant Exam is very scarce - almost non existent. Although I tried hard to find books specific for ISRO Assistant Exam, I could not locate any.
In absence of any specific exam guide book, I would like to point you to the following prep books, actually meant for Bank Clerk exam, but which I am sure would be useful to you as the test sections are similar. You can also buy the books test section-wise according to your specific area of need,.
