Hello Indu,
If iam not wrong i think you are talking about All India radio, Engineering Assistant.
The syllabus for AIR(AE): 175 marks from the subject of specialization of 350 marks. 25 questions of 50 marks will be of General Knowledge &Current Affairs.
One negative mark for each wrong answer.

The exams are very near,hope iam not that late.Anyway iam attaching some model papers of AIR (AE) hope it will provide you some help even though at the last moment.
Here is my wishing you ALL THE BEST.
