If you have already applied to these GET/JE positions, naturally you would like to find the prep materials for this DVC exam – the sample/previous years papers and name of prep books that you can use. This blog article is dedicated to you – with an analysis of the DVC exam pattern, it points you to the exam papers and books that you can use as study materials.

If you have not applied to this DVC Recruitment exam 2011, but would like to please visit my blog article titled: DVC GET/JE Recruitment 2011 Notification, Eligibility & Forms which tells you how to apply for this exam.

Pattern of DVC GET/JE Exam:

As per the DVC exam notification, the written test for the Graduate Engineer Trainee & Junior Engineers would consist of following sections:

(i) Aptitude tests: Consisting of Test of Reasoning Ability, Quantitative Aptitude, General Awareness, English language.

(v) Technical test: Professional Knowledge/Subject.

Other than above, DVC notification does not says anything about the distribution of marks or number of questions. I had tried heard on the net to find the exam experiences of previous DVC examinees, but could not locate any.

So in absence of any reliable data, I would love to point you to a similar exam conducted by NTPC ( a PSU and power utility organization just like DVC) for Graduate Engineer Trainees & Diploma Engineer Trainees.

In the NTPC exam, there are 55 questions in Technical test & 35 in Aptitude – so a total of 90 multiple-choice questions, which needs to be answered in 2 hours. Also there is there is negative marking of 0.25 mark for wrong answers. You can expect a similar test pattern in DVC exam, but although the exact pattern can be known only in the exam hall.

DVC GET/JE Exam Papers:

Again, no exam paper, either sample/model paper or previous years exam paper of DVC exam could be found on the net. However, following sample papers may act as eye openers:

Another good site where you can find some more NTPC papers is 123eng.com. Click here to find these NTPC papers.

All the above papers should be used with a pinch of salt – I found many of them repeated in more than website and also, for the technical test, where as you can find test papers of Electrical, Mechanical & Electronics were abundant, but papers of other streams is not available.

Therefore, you can use the following books as preparatory material for the DVC GET/JE Exam.
