NHPC JE 2023 Electrical

JUNIOR ENGINEERS (ELECTRICAL) EXAMINATION


Indicative Syllabus

The standard of the questions in Engineering subjects will be approximately of the level of
Diploma in Engineering (Electrical) from a recognized Institute, Board or University recognized
by All India Board of Technical Education. All the questions will be set in SI units. The details
of the syllabus are given below:

Section-I

1. General Intelligence & Reasoning: The Syllabus for General Intelligence would include
questions of both verbal and non-verbal type. The test may include questions on analogies,
similarities, differences, space visualization, problem solving, analysis, judgement, decision
making, visual memory, discrimination, observation, relationship concepts, arithmetical
reasoning, verbal and figure classification, arithmetical number series etc. The test will also
include questions designed to test the candidate’s abilities to deal with abstract ideas and
symbols and their relationships, arithmetical computations and other analytical functions.

2. General Awareness: Questions will be aimed at testing the candidate’s general awareness
of the environment around him/her and its application to society. Questions will also be
designed to test knowledge of current events and of such matters of everyday observations
and experience in their scientific aspect as may be expected of any educated person. The
test will also include questions relating to India and its neighbouring countries especially
pertaining to History, Culture, Geography, Economic Scene, General Polity and Scientific
Research, etc. These questions will be such that they do not require a special study of any
discipline.
