JE, Diploma & ITI Exam Preparation Guide

For technical posts the paper in your own branch usually carries the most marks. General awareness and reasoning are what separate candidates with similar technical scores.

  • Assistant Engineer: usually B.E. or B.Tech
  • Technician and apprentice posts: ITI in the trade, or a diploma
  • Many apprentice posts are filled on merit of marks; check the notice

How selection usually works

  1. Written test: general awareness and reasoning plus a technical paper in your branch
  2. Skill or trade test for technician posts
  3. Document verification; an interview for some posts

Subjects to cover

  • Your engineering branch (core subjects)
