This blog post is being made on the eve of the ensuing Oriental Insurance exam for selection of Admin Officers to provide you the prep materials for the exam. Resources available on the net for this exam is very scarce - hardly any sample papers have been posted by anyone. So in absence of same, I am giving the sample papers for similar exam test section-wise
This blog article also follows my previous blog article on Oriental Insurance Recruitment 2012 (Admin Officer) Notification, Eligibility & Form, which introduces you to the Oriental Insurance Admin Officer exam and tells you how to apply for the same.
Oriental Insurance Admin Officer selection process:
Selection Procedure for Oriental Insurance Admin Officer consists of a written exam followed by interview.
Oriental Insurance Admin Officer written exam syllabus/format/pattern:
The written exam for Admin Officer positions in Oriental Insurance consists of both Objective questions as well as Descriptive questions.
The Objective paper consists of following four test sections, the first three test sections are common to all while the fourth test section depends on for which post you have applied.
(i) Test of Reasoning.
(ii) English language.
(iii) Numerical Ability.
(iv) For the posts of Group A to H: Professional knowledge Test.
For the posts of Group I: General Awareness.
The Descriptive Test papers is a test in English language and would comprise of Essay, Precis,Comprehension etc.
Oriental Insurance Admin Officer exam cut-off:
On the basis of relative performance of candidates (i.e. marks scored) in the written exam, Oriental Insurance would decide the cut-off criteria and would call the qualifying candidates for the interview.
Although Oriental Insurance in its job notification has not spelt out any mark distribution and also time duration for the same, I expect the pattern of Oriental Insurance written exam to be similar to a Bank PO exam, which has similar sections, including Descriptive Paper for English proficiency.
Oriental Insurance Admin Officer exam sample online papers:
First thing that you would like to know while preparing for a Oriental Insurance Admin Officer exam is where to find those online sample papers. I did some scouting for you on the net, but could not find any paper specific to Oriental Insurance Admin Officer exam.
But however, I found following sample/previous years papers for LIC Asst. Admin Officer (AAO) exam and Asst. Development Officer (ADO) exam, which has same test sections as the Oriental Insurance. You can therefore use these papers to have some idea:
Sample papers for Oriental Insurance Admin Officer exam Objective paper:
From edutalkindia.blogspot.com:
Sample papers for Oriental Insurance Admin Officer exam Descriptive paper:
You can find some topics for essay, precis writing and comprehension in competition master website in the menu option "Bank PO & Clerk Recruitment Exams" as shown below:
Also, as told above, Oriental Insurance written exam pattern is very similar to the Bank PO exams. Therefore following two blog posts on bank PO exam, which also gives you downloadable sample papers section-wise should help you in your preparation for Oriental Insurance written exam:

BHEL Recruitment 2012 (ET) Notification, Eligibility & Form
|
|
January 09, 2012
|
|
|
|
 BHEL had issued recruitment notification 2012 for 800 Engineer Trainees from the disciplines of Mechanical, Electrical & Electronics. These vacancies are open for freshers. Although the notification had come out in October 2011, the Online application form has become available only from 4th January, 2012. The last date to apply online for this BHEL ET recruitment is 28th January, 2012.
But there is a catch - you can apply for these BHEL jobs only if you had applied for GATE 2012 earlier, last date of form submission for which was already over on 21st October 2011. What are the eligibility and how to apply for these engineer trainee positions in BHEL? This is the subject matter of current blog article.
But before we go further, a small introduction on BHEL.
What is BHEL:
Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited (BHEL), established in 1953, is the largest engineering and manufacturing enterprise in India in the energy-related/infrastructure sector and is also one of leading power generation equipment manufacturers in the world. The company has been earning profits continuously since 1971-72 and is paying dividends since 1976-77.
BHEL manufactures over 180 products under 30 major product groups and caters to core sectors of the Indian Economy viz., Power Generation & Transmission, Industry, Transportation, Telecommunication, Renewable Energy, etc. The wide network of BHEL consists of 14 manufacturing divisions, four Power Sector regional centres, over 100 project sites, eight service centres and 18 regional offices.
BHEL is on a rapid expansion mode - it plans to become a Rs. 45,000 crore company by 2011-12 and double that amount by 2016-17.
More about BHEL can be found from this BHEL site.
BHEL ET Recruitment process:
From 2012 onwards, there has been a major change in how BHEL is going to recruit Engineer Trainees - till 2011, BHEL used to conduct its own Written recruitment test which was of 2 hour duration having two papers: Aptitude & Technical. The selection process for ET was hence: Written Test -> GD/Interview.
But from 2012 onwards BHEL is not going to conduct the written test itself - it is going to use the GATE (Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering) scores to shortlist the candidates for its further selection process. The changed selection process form now onwards would be GATE-> GD/Interview.
Hence for the ET positions in BHEL from now onwards, you have to appear in GATE relevant to your discipline and do well in the same, so that you can be shorlisted by BHEL for GD & Interview.
GATE 2012 scores of applicants would be used to shortlist the candidates for Interview. Almost 2400 candidates are expected to be shortlisted as the ratio used by BHEL is 1:3 for each category/discipline. In the final merit list 75% weightage would be given to GATE 2012 score and 25% for Interview.
Branch-wise BHEL ET vacancies for 2012:
A total of 800 ET vacancies exists: Mechanical(550), Electrical(175) & Electronics(75).
BHEL ET Salary:
Salaries offered by BHEL for ET is: pay scale of Rs. 20600-46500/- at the basic pay of Rs. 20600/- during one-year training. With this pay scale, minimum CTC is Rs. 7.5 lakhs/annum. Post training pay scale is Rs.24900-50500/- with a basic pay of Rs.24900/-. This is apart from other benefits.
Eligibility for BHEL Engineer Trainee :
Age Eligibility: (as on 01.08.2012)
Maximum 27 years (DOB earlier than 01/08/1985 are not eligible) if you are a BE/B.Tech.
Maximum 29 years (DOB earlier than 01/08/1983 are not eligible) if you are a PG in Engineering or Business Administration/Management with basic degree in Engineering.
Age relaxations exists for reserved categories.
Final year students can also apply provided you can submit your final mark sheet by 20th August, 2012
Educational Eligibility:
Bachelor’s degree holders in Engineering /Technology (4 years after 10 +2 ) / or Five year integrated Master’s degree or Dual Degree programme in Engineering or Technology in the disciplines of Mechanical /Electrical /Electronics Engineering.
If you have engineering degree in some other allied disciplines as given in page-3&4 of the Notification, than also you will be considered but you have to appear in GATE 2012 in the disciplines of ME, EE & EC only.
Since you have to appear in GATE for these ET positions, it is needless to say that you also have to possess the eligibility for GATE, details of which can be found in my blog article titled: GATE 2012 Notification, Eligibility & Forms.
How to apply for BHEL ET Recruitment 2012:
There is no offline form for BHEL ET Recruitment 2012. You have to apply online only. You have to register (i.e. apply) actually twice for BHEL ET positions- Once for GATE & than for BHEL. And while applying for BHEL, you have to use the "GATE-2012 Registration Number" as given in the GATE admit card.
How to apply online for the BHEL recruitment is described clearly in this webpage.
You can click here to find the BHEL ET Recruitment 2012 Online Form.
BHEL ET Recruitment 2012 GD/Interview Dates:
BHEL 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.

CLAT Syllabus, Exam Pattern, Papers & Books
|
|
January 07, 2012
|

 This blog article of mine follows from an earlier blog article titled: CLAT 2012 Notification Eligibility Forms and is aimed to provide you the prep materials for CLAT (Common Law Admission Test) – the syllabus, sample papers and books along with a discussion on the CLAT exam pattern.
CLAT Exam Pattern:
The first step while deciding to prepare for CLAT is to know about the pattern of exam – i.e. what are the test sections, how many questions are asked, for what marks and what duration. It is only with this knowledge that you can find which area to put more emphasis compared to others.
CLAT LLB Pattern
The pattern of CLAT 2012 for LLB (i.e. undergraduate) with section-wise marks is as given at right. There are total 200 Objective type questions of worth 200 marks to be answered in 2 hours (i.e. just 36 seconds to answer each question). More weightage has been given to sections GK/Current Affairs & Legal Aptitude (50 each), followed by Logical Reasoning & English (40 each) and least to Numerical Ability (20 only).
CLAT LLM Pattern
The pattern of CLAT 2012 for LLM (i.e. postgraduate) with section-wise marks is as given at left. There are 100 Objective type questions (each question of 1 mark) and 10 short answer type questions of 10 marks each. Thus the total mark is 200 marks, which has to be answered in 2 hours.
There is no negative marking in CLAT 2012. So attempt all questions.. for the answer of any question you do not know, just make guesses.
CLAT 2012 Exam Syllabus:
Section-wise Syllabus for CLAT 2012 (UG – LLB) is given below:
English including Comprehension:
The English section will test the candidate’s proficiency in English based comprehension passages and grammar. In the comprehension section, candidates will be questioned on their understanding of the passage and its central theme, meanings of words used therein etc. The grammar section requires correction of incorrect grammatical sentences, filling of blanks in sentences with appropriate words, etc.
General Knowledge/Current Affairs:
This section will only test students on their knowledge of current affairs (broadly defined as matters featuring in the mainstream media between March 2011 and March 2012)
Mathematics:
This section will test candidates only on “elementary” mathematics i.e. maths that is taught up to the class X.
Logical Reasoning:
The purpose of the logical reasoning section is to test the student’s ability to identify patterns, logical links and rectify illogical arguments. It will include a wide variety of logical reasoning questions such as syllogisms, logical sequences, analogies, etc. However, visual reasoning will not be tested.
Legal Aptitude:
This section will test students only on “legal aptitude”. Questions will be framed with the help of legal propositions (described in the paper), and a set of facts to which the said proposition has to be applied. Some propositions may not be “true” in the real sense (e.g. the legal proposition might be that any person who speaks in a movie hall and disturbs others who are watching the movie will be banned from entering any movie theatre across India for one year). Candidates will have to assume the “truth” of these propositions and answer the questions accordingly.
Candidates will not be tested on any prior knowledge of law or legal concepts. If a technical/legal term is used in the question, that term will be explained in the question itself. For example, if the word patent is used, the meaning of patent (“a legal monopoly granted by the government for certain kinds of inventions”) will also be explained.
Syllabus for CLAT 2012 (PG – LLM) has not been given in the notification but is expected to be same as the one you followed in your graduation course (i.e. in LLB).
CLAT Sample/previous years question papers
After understanding the pattern of exam and knowing the syllabus, naturally you would like to know what type of questions are asked in CLAT tests. I have searched on the net and found some CLAT sample papers – but however I am not sure how much authentic they are.
Therefore your best way to get previous years question papers of CLAT is to order it from CLAT itself – the past 4 years CLAT papers cost you only Rs. 100/= (if you buy it with cash personally) from any of the 14 National law Universities.
You can also order CLAT previous years question papers by post by sending a DD of Rs. 150/- made in favour of “National Law University, Jodhpur CLAT A/C” payable at “Jodhpur (Rajasthan)”. Just send this DD along with a simple request letter containing the information - a) Name, b) Complete Postal Address with pincode, c) Contact Number (Landline & Mobile) and d) Email id. Address to where this letter and DD must be sent is:
The Convenor, Common Law Admission Test, CLAT 2012, National Law University, Jodhpur, NH-65, Nagour Road, Mandore, Jodhpur - 342304 (Rajasthan).
Before these CLAT papers arrives, may be you can test the following sample papers:
From globalshiksha.com:
From lawexams.in:
CLAT Prep Books:
 In absence of reliable study material for CLAT on the net you have to depend on books only to prepare for CLAT. I have found following list of CLAT prep book after analyzing feedback from various student forums.
Buy a guide book which gives you the prep material for all test sections of CLAT. You can also buy books according to your area of specific need i.e. specific to test section of CLAT.
These books are available in most of the bookstores, but you can also order them online by clicking the links below from Flipkart.com which offers huge discounts up to 30%, apart from free shipping/ postage in India if the total order exceeds Rs. 200/=. You can choose to pay through Credit Card/Debit Card/Internet Banking. You can also choose to pay through “ Cash-on-Delivery” i.e. you pay in cash only when the same is delivered at your doorstep:

In CLAT 2012, fourteen law institutes are participating.

IFFCO in its notification has not specified how many vacancies open branch-wise. So I would look out for this info and post it here as soon as I can spot it.
