AAI JE Exam 2015 Pattern, Syllabus, Papers & Books

Syllabus and Exam Pattern of AAI Junior Executive Exam (JE) 2015 is hard to find. I am posting the same here along with Sample Papers and Prep Books.

AAI Junior Executive Exam (JE) 2015 for selection of JE (ATC) and JE (Electronics) has been announced recently. Are you one of those preparing for this exam? If yes, you may have been searching for some prep materials to prepare for the exam - have you found those? I am afraid you might have been disappointed - the materials available on the net are too scarce and also whatever materials are available, are not authentic. It is because AAI in its official website has not posted that much of info about the written exam - what would be the Syllabus, the Exam Pattern/Format. I have therefore fished out the Syllabus/Exam Pattern of AAI Junior Executive Exam from under the hood and posting the same here. Also I am pointing you to some Sample Papers and Prep Books, so that you can base your preparation on it.

AAI JE Exam 2015 Syllabus/Pattern:

AAI in its recruitment notification has not said anything about the pattern/format of the exam bening conducted for selection of Junior Executive. However, I had dig inside the official website of AAI and found from its career webpage that the Exam Pattern of AAI Junior Executive Exam as follows:

The exam is of two hour duration and consists of 120 objective type multiple choice questions.
It has two sections:
1.0 Professional Knowledge Test: It has questions on your specialisation subjects (as given in the educational qualification eligibility).
2.0 Aptitude Test: It has questions on GK, General Intelligence, General Aptitude, English.

The weightage of these two sections is:
Professional Knowledge Test: 70%
Aptitude Test: 30%
This weigtage of exam sections for some posts of AAI is also 50% : 50%. So you should be prepared for this weightage also.

AAI JE Exam Previous Years Papers:

To know what type of questions are asked in AAI Junior Executive Exam you should go through some previous years exam papers. But there is dearth of such authentic previous years papers on the net. I could fish out following three exam papers for the "Electronics" discipline:

Click here to find 28 questions from a previous years exam paper of AAI ATC.

Website to know about  Air Traffic Controller:
You can know many things about what is an ATC, what are his jobs and functions from the website of Air Traffic Controllers' Guild (India). For example this webpage tells you what is an ATC in simple words, which I quote below:
"Air traffic Controllers are well trained professionals who design the sequencing of air traffic in the air space and along pre-determined routes of arrival and departure to and from airports around the world. They are responsible for the management of flow of safe, orderly and expeditious traffic with least possible delays on the ground as well as in the air. A Typical Area Control Centre They are also responsible for providing advice and information useful for the safe and efficient conduct of flight and alerting appropriate organisations regarding aircraft in need of assistance, search and rescue."

I could find only the following guide book which is exclusive to AAI JE Exam:
AAI Manager (ATC & Electronics) Jr. Executive (ATC) Exam; Author: Ashish Dixit; Publisher: Upkar

Since the books specifically meant for AAI exam is very rare, what you can do is use the book for other competitive exams for "Aptitude Test" paper and use the GATE exam book for the "Professional Knowledge Test". I am giving Flipkart links for some of the books below. Flipkart offers huge discounts (upto 49%) and also free home delivery (if the order exceeds Rs. 500).
