General ability test
The candidate's comprehension and understanding of General English shall be tested through simple
exercises. Questions on knowledge of current events and of such matter of everyday observation and
experience in their scientific aspects as may be expected of an educated person. Questions will also be
included on events and developments in Telecommunications, History of India and Geography. These
will be of a nature, which can be answered without special study by an educated person.
