Dear friend
you need to have good command on your subject knowledge. It would be good if you prepare the topics one by one and improve your theoretical knowledge as well as practical.
You can get the syllabus and booklist at the following site.

Thank You

I am in my final year of instrumetation engg. I just want to know how can i crack PSUs and GATE exams.What are the books to refer related to instrumetation engineering.

i need study materials for clear psu exams in instrumentation......plz help me

cover whole syllabus
work hard
analysis and give the test on each topics
practice as much as you can

you can crack psu just joining coachinggiven by made eazy or buy a material of the coaching.

u jst keep checking fresherworld.com for vacancies and exam dates......


make ur preperation well then u can easily qualify the exam.....


Problems and Solutions in Mechanical Engineering

CISSP All in One Exam Guide 5th Edition [#2]

refer these for psu preperaytion

Hello,

You find a list of a few books for reference at the following link with complete details:

http://www.jawahar-book-centre.com/joint-entrance-exam-for-engineers-for-public-sector-units(psu)-other-organization.html

Also, if you are interested to download them:

http://www.torrentdownloads.net/searches/psu+exam+books


the only way to make it through any qualifying entrance exam is by the means of hard work and diligent study schedule...u need to prepare a schedule of the entire day and have to maanage time accordingly.

Good Luck

To crack PSUs exams just have clear concept about your subject and for GS keep referring pratiyigita Darpan.
Best of luck!!!!1

to clear psu exams you should be really strong in the theoretical part,you need daily practice .you should also join some coaching center so that you can write as many practice tests as possible,
the best book is gk publishers,all the best

hello friend
In terms of preparation for such test u need to forcus on different theories-motivation,learning etc .who propunded these theories and in which year.Various labour law acts .make sure that ur basic prepartion is gud .Whatever topic u take up for study prepare it well.These test include very basic questions.Do focus on quantitative aptitude thats also important.

here i am providing you the syllabus for the GATE Mechanical ENGG

friend i would like to suggest you to go for a very good coaching centre if you are facing any problem .
One of the toughest exams of India for postgraduate courses in engineering streams is the GATE. The exam is held every year. The duration of the GATE MECHANICAL ENGINEERING PAPER is 3 hours. The paper contains multiple choice type questions, 65 in numbers. The questions have four different options with only one correct answer. The pattern of the questions is given below:

Question numbers 1 to 25 are 1 mark questions. They have a negative marking of 1/3 mark.

Question numbers 26 to 55 are 2 marks questions. They have a negative marking of 2/3 mark.

Four questions, number 52, 53 and 54, 55 are the linked questions as the answer of the second question of the paper depends on the answer of the first question.

The second answer of the pair will be evaluated only when the first one is answered correct. The negative marking is for the first question only as the next question is not going to be evaluated only.

Question numbers 56 to 60 are from general aptitude. They are all 1 mark questions and a negative marking of 1/3 mark.

The last questions are also from general aptitude but they are 2 marks questions. They have a negative marking of 2/3 mark.

hello i m naina want to know how to crack psu and want to know books and syllabus of it?

mostly the syllabus will comprise of your stream enginering and will have general english, quantitative aptutude, reasoning along with some general awareness.
you can refer to the books of arihant and upkar publications which are available at all the leading book stalls.

How to crack PSU Exams? Books for PSU and GATE exams for chemical Engineering?

Hi,
You just need to have
1) RS Aggarwal for Quantitative, Reasoning
2) GK publishers for GATE
3) Pratiyogita darpan for GK and current affairs

How to crack PSU Exams? Books for PSU and GATE exams for Mechanical Engineering?

is it necessary to join a coaching for psu?pl tell me wheather i am elgible for giving psu in 7th sem or not

No you cannot give pSU exam in 7 th sem.
Normally whenyou will complete your graduation than only you will be eligible.
As far as coaching is concerned you can join it if you need for your guidance.
But through knowlede of subject and command on it is more than sufficient

dear friend,

There are different sections in Aptitude test for PSU as :
Verbal/Non verbal reasoning
Logical reasoning
Quantitative analysis etc.

For aptitude test in PSU, you have to follow some books like:
GRE Barons
R.S.Agrawal
M.Tyra etc.

you should also go through daily newspapaers.

good luck.

dear friend,
As You didn't mention from which specialization you are? so i can't help you about syllabus of PSUs.

But for PSU exam, you have to follow the syllabus covered in GATE exam of your specialization along with some aptitude test like verbal/non verbal reasoning etc.

good luck.

dear friend,

The decision of joining any coaching classes for preparation of PSU is fully depend upon you.

You can take preparation through your self study and following some good books like:
G.K.Publishers
Hunda&Hunda
Galgotia Publication books etc.

& in 7th sem , you are eligible for PSU exams like
BEL
SAIL
GAIL etc.

good luck.

Have a strong hold of the fundamentals.
Selection of right books & study materials.
Try to solve model papers based on latest exam pattern.
Analyze result, find out the weak areas & try to overcome those weak areas.

Here, is a list of books to be referred for mechanical engineering:

Engineering Mechanics – R.S Khurmi
Theory of Machine :- S.S Rattan.
Engineering Mathematics – B.S .Grewal
Basic thermodynamics - P.K.Nag

hi friend
log on to www.freshersworld.com
there u can get lot of question paper with answers

you can crack the PSU exams if you refer books of engineering mechanics from R.S Khurmi .Theory of machine-R.s Ratan,production technology books of various authors.

For gate you just need to focus in your core subjects of all the four years.Since your from mechanical engineering you need to focus on production technology,Basic thermo dynamics,turbo machinery,I.C engine,fluid mechanics and hydraulic machines

you can even refer books of U.V Bhakshi,Pearson publications,Bansal,Modi and seth,Rajput.

these are the books my friends from mechanical stream refer so i just have an idea of it.

all the best

hiii..i am 2010 b.tech passout with electronics and communication, i wanna to prepare for the psu exams, so by refering which book i can better prepare
