sir,I am going to appear ntpc entrance exam 2011,so give me some useful tips& tricks & plz send me last 5 yr question paper for electrical.

NTPC EXAM


First 120 question on technical and 50 questions on general aptitude.
1/3 negative marks for all the questions.
2 hours exam.(No calculator allowed)
Question paper along with the key sheet should be handed over to the
invigilator after the end of exam.

1.About the Technical:
questions about diac,triac,buck effect etc.
Control systems,synchros,all basics and theoretical

I almost covered 95% of the topics.This is as far as I could remember.


2.About aptitude:
synonyms
antonyms
comprehension passages
aptitude problem solving skills(train probs,loss profit sums,ratios,etc.)
word analogies
fill in the sentences with the most suitable word type of questions.


NTPC PAPER 2007
NTPC PAPER : 2007 AT NEW DELHI :

It constitutes of 170 questions (120 Tech + 50 Aptitude)

Time : 2 Hrs

For tech part the syllabus is same as of the GATE and for Aptitude Part R. S. Aggarwal is more than sufficient. As time duration is very short so time management is very important.


APTITUDE SECTION :

For this section no special attention is required only rs aggarwal is enough and it also has easy level of English section.


TECHNICAL SECTION :

For this section u have to b good in the basics. No hard question were asked but u should b careful about your time . It has also some part of very basic general knowledge. The questions were from following topics
10-12 Questions about microprocessor(8085)

3 Questions about RS232 standard

7-10 Questions of GK

4-6 Questions on opamp

10-15 Questions on Digital Communications

2-5 Questions on microwaves

15-20 Questions on Analog Devices

20-23 Questions on Digital Electronics (flip flops,gates,mux,no system etc)

1 Questions on ISO OSI Model

5-8 Questions on Control System

10-12 Questions on Signals and their Processing


AND SOME QUESTIONS ON PASSAGES & LIKE

1. Passage
2. Word meaning based (antonym and synonyms) fetter, fester, lucid, anomaly, elucidate etc

3. Word analogy based

4. What is a tunnel diode

5. What is a Zener diode

6. Effect of + and – feedback on stability

7. Composition of gobar gas

8. Function of differential in the vehicle

9. Function of stack register

10. Fun of instruction pointer

11. Fun of rst6.5,7.5

12. Wht is an interrupt

13. Output vtg calc on op amp

14. How a pulse train can b generated using registers

15. Conversion of oct to hex,hex to binary

16. Fun of quantizer in pcm

17. Why fm is less prone to noise

18. Fun of limiter in detection of FM

19. What is envelop detector
20. Phase shift of 1/s^2

21. Signal limited to 1000 hz sampled at nyquist rate. quantizer has 128 level .calculate the bit rate of the system.

22. 1.5 V battery supply same power to R1 and R2 separately(R1>R2).calc the internal resistance of battery

23. A wire is cut in two halves. one half is again stretched to th twice of length .calc the resistance.

I think you must go through this...

dear friend

see for any examination like GATE, NTPC at first you have to read very carefully your textbook then solve different question papers.As you are from Electrical background then please go for basic things of electrical .For NTPC please visit ...

good luck.

whether calculator is allowed for finance field in ntpc exam

sir plz tell about the results of NTPC
how there released
1)we can see the marks OR simply they list the candidates who selecte

whether calculator is allowed in ntpc finance field?
