Power Grid Executive Trainee ET Exam Sample Papers, Exam Pattern, Question Papers, Books

This blog post is a sequel to my earlier blog article titled "PGCIL ET Recruitment 2010 Notification, Eligibility & Forms", which gives you introductory information on Power Grid Corporation as well as how to apply for the Executive Trainee positions.

The focus of this blog post is to help you prepare for the Power Grid exam by telling you what the Power Grid test pattern is and by giving you the sources to download model/sample/past years papers for exams similar to Power Grid. Further, it would also give you the list of some books for preparation of Power Grid exam.

At first let us begin this by knowing Power Grid written test pattern.

Power Grid ET Exam Pattern:
Power Grid written test consists of two papers: Technical Knowledge Test (TKT) &Executive Aptitude Test (EAT). While the questions of Aptitude test is common, questions of the Technical test would depend on which disciplines (Electrical or Finance) you have applied for.

There are 120 questions in Technical test & 50 in Aptitude – so a total of 170 multiple-choice questions, which needs to be answered in 2 hours. Thus you have 40 seconds aprox. to answer each question – the questions as such are not difficult and therefore your main focus would be time-management to answer maximum questions correctly.
Notes of caution: There is negative marking: 1/4th mark will be deducted for each wrong answer. So if you make a guess, make it wisely!

For Aptitude test the questions asked are on vocabulary, verbal comprehension, quantitative aptitude, reasoning ability, ability to determine data sufficiency, interpretation of graphs/charts/tables, numerical ability etc.

Power Grid ET exam papers:
I had searched on the net for for Power Grid ET exam sample/model/previous years paper but could not find any website where you can find them. However, I could find some papers of NTPC ET exam which can be used by you, just to know the standard of questions. Exam patten of NTPC is identical to Power Grid.

These papers are:
