Coal India written test..

Hi,
This post is about coal India written test we gave.I wouldn't have written about it as i had forgotten all about it.The experience was bad enough and totally worth forgetting.But a person who's following my blog actually made a point to e mail about it's absence.I wish he had commented on any of my blog instead.But still point taken.

  For next year student paper had 200 questions 100 tech and 100 non tech.
  Non tech questions were fine but i really can't forgive them for keeping engineering mathematics questions there in aptitude and GS section.Come on guys give me a break.Isn't it hard enough you people are giving huge amount of them in tech section. I didn't revise maths at all though i prepared it for GATE.
And what's the fascination about year 2009 dude.I had hard time recalling miss world or miss universe of 2009 leave alone miss earth of 2009(Or 2011 for that matter) We had plenty of clock questions and loads of history.
   Well earlier(pre right to information law) PSU's used to lift questions from R.K. Jain(Yes,this is the most hated book for ALL made easy teachers) or from each others paper.Some questions were right some were wrong but still we had a chance to attempt them. But now when they have one for the readymade things.You know lift your questions from GATE papers you already have the answers so no chik chik no jhik jhik.

Let me tell you , our MADE EASY solved GATE papers is the new"R.K. Jain" now.So learn by heart the questions and answers.That's what time demands now to have a decent job.

 On the positive side time was plenty but questions were too much numerical to even read them or bother solving.Rattafication is the mantra. NO need to revise formulas or concepts. Who cares???
As for as i was concerned after the exam i was again found hitting on my head for the following reasons.

1. For not studying as usual.I am very serious about watching TV instead.
2. Fot attempting questions in hurry and in some cases marking responses in hurry.(What's the fascination with black pen?Pencil was soooo.. good).

     3.Not opening GATE book.It's the new bible for PSU's

P.S. Some students were caught saying the got the paper in advance and thus solved all questions.It was being said that paper was available in 4 lakhs to 2 lakhs.People went as far as saying CIL is demanding 13 lakhs for complete selection.Who knows??                                            






I kind of wish this was true atleast it would give me reasons for not getting selected in the exam.By the way i have already told my mom about it.She was convinced ha ha ha..

BEL Written Examn pattern for Engineers and my story

I know i am quite late in writing this but may be this post will help students of next year so just ignore it.(I tried to write a serious blog but got carried away so you can read.It's looks kind of funny to me.My BF says self appreciation is my thing so be it)

Well in Bel exam we saw the same peculiar things which started after ONGC 2011 exam.And that is they expect us to calculate with our our minds. In ONGC we were actually expected to calculate Taylor's coeffs and diesel Engine efficiency without calculator in of course very limited time.When i asked this from sir he told they just copy paste questions from previous GATE exams. In BEL exam this was extremely apparent as we were given mathematics(come on!! not maths! but a PSU paper is always unexpected) and yes trade mark questions of GATE linked questions.(can u believe it ! i was the 1st one to solve the thermo question in class but in exam i was clueless).


 So my advice is please just read the questions of OUR made easy gate handbook as this trend was seen in NPCIL and in few others also.But on the spot technique is to mark the questions you know you can solve but taking some time so that if the time remains you can come back for some brownie points.

My exam went bad as i ve shifted to home and i ve hardly known a student who come home and opens book and actually study.Yes i know we ALL carry loads of books home promising ourselves to study but alas! Its a target very few can achieve.I was not fully prepared and kept pushing study and revision to last day and when the last day finally arrived i did not studied for the following reasons.

• Syllabus is very wide it's impossible to cover it now.
• We can't predict PSU questions as they are random so why bother.

• I must not take tension on last day so i should keep my mind fresh so that in could approach paper with new outlook.

I know i play such stupid mind games with myself.At exam i was kicking my a** for not studying those queing theory formula (Trust me they have something against me.No matter how many time i put them in my mind they get misplaced in exam time)  and few other topics.At least i would have got the confidence of "yes, i ve worked hard for this i'll do it". But instead i was getting"I have not studied but lets see how many questions can i afford" feeling.


Whatever i decided to study for CIL exam but you can see how unfocussed non serious i am.Meanwhile i am getting a good dose of "how much time and money you will further waste let's get you married" drama from my mom.
