Electrical Engineering Entrance Exam Syllabus

The qualifying conditions for the aforementioned examinations are entirely reliant on the conducting organization, and so vary. To give you a heads up, there is a
regular pattern that can be deduced by examining popular entrance exams:

• There will be logical, reasoning, and knowledge-based questions in the exam. The test will be conducted both online and offline.
• The papers will be objective, and the questions will be drawn from fundamental physics, chemistry, and mathematics taught in high school.
• Depending on the exam, the maximum duration of the examination is two to three hours.
• Most admission tests explicitly prohibit the use of calculators. When it comes to online mode, there are a few exceptions.
• The syllabus, examination format, and question pattern are subject to change.
