I could remember only 80 questions out of
100. If anyone who appeared in the test does have any more questions not
included above, send them to me! The question order is jumbled, the questions
of Subject Part weren’t classified in subcategories in the actual test.
So,
how was the test? Seemed a little difficult to me at very first. Some questions
were knavish, many were irrelevant to Power Engineering and no doubt some were
easy too! But overall test was satisfactory (to many) including the General
Portion. If you can attempt ~40% questions right now, you’re expected to
attempt 75%+ questions with proper preparation.
More than 60% questions are numerical types
and calculation based that’s why a non-programmable scientific calculator is
allowed in the test (The calculator is
much helpful in the test, much more than you imagine, bring an original
scientific calculator with natural display, download its user manual from its
site and read the complete manual, the one/two hour(s) you spend on reading the
calculator manual will help you save time and earn extra marks during the test).
I solved about 4-5 questions using advanced natural display calculator which I
couldn’t have solved with a simple scientific calculator or if solved with
simple scientific calculator would have taken me twice or thrice more time!
What
to prepare for the test? Preparing irrelevant subject matter for years will
have no practicable effect on your test results. Try to be focused, prepare
well, and try to avoid far-flung rote learning. Here are the outline of the
Test as supplied by PIEAS:
The question paper is divided into two parts
i.e. Part (A) and (B). There will be 50 questions in Part (A) and 50 Questions

General Part Preparation:
Mathematics:
Prepare F.Sc Part 1 maths: Ch. 1 to Ch. 7 (Skip Trigonometry & 8th
chapter). Each chapter is equally important and keep in mind that Test is
numerical based. Memorize formulas and work out with calculations. From
F.Sc Part 2 Maths: Skip Ch. 5 and prepare remaining all 6 chapters (you may
skip Ch. No. 6 too, but it’s better to prepare some basics of 6th
chapter). Pay special attention to Ch. 2 & 3. Though each chapter shares
equal importance in test, one or two questions are included from each chapter
roughly.
Physics:
Go through all the chapter of Physics F.Sc Part 1 and Part 2 books. Learn all the formulas and be good with
calculations. Last 3,4 chapters of 2nd year Physics are important.
English: English has nothing to
prepare, because no specified course can be allotted for English preparation.
This is the first portion of the General test consisting of 10 questions. 1st
two are from comprehension, so they are easy. Next 3-4 are synonyms &
antonyms, they’re easy too but confusing, tick them carefully.
And remaining questions are correct form of
verbs, prepositions or correction of grammar mistakes. Subject Preparation:
Basic
Electrical Engineering: Revise Circuit Analysis I & II from David
Irwin’s book or any other Basic Circuit
Analysis book (1st order & 2nd order circuits are
important). Review EMT from William H. Hayt’s
Book or Alexander Sadiko’s. Learn all
basic equations (i.e. Maxwell’s, Poisson, Laplace, Ampere, Green/Stokes
Theorems etc.). Have a basic review of DLD
book by Thomas L. Floyd. Pay special attention to combinational logic
circuits (They’re important). Have an insight of sequential logic. You may skip
K-maps and other lengthy portions.
Electronics,
Electronic Circuits and Components: For this portion, prepare thoroughly Electronic Circuit & Devices by Robert
T. Paynter or Thomas Floyd’s Electronic Devices. FET, JFET and MOSFET’s
components, circuits, biasing and analysis is REALLY important. Learn them by
heart (in fact brain :P).
Controls
and Communications Systems: For control systems, review Control System by Norman S. Nice. (Samarajit Ghosh’s book is not up to
standard). Revise basics of Open loop & Feedback Control systems. Stable
& Un-Stable system conditions, poles-zeros plots, bode plots, frequency
response, Phase margin, gain margin, root locus and all basic relevant topics.
Communication Systems: (Advance topics from
this portion are asked in test) Prepare Laplace & Fourier transforms
(important). Harmonics, AM & FM modulation techniques, Slew rate, Fourier
magnitude & phase plots, filters (IIR & FIR). You may refer to Modern Digital & Analog Communication
Systems by B. P. Lathi. Also review topics from Signal & Systems and
DSP. Prepare basics (i.e. LTI systems, signals & their properties,
convolution, Fourier series & transform plots of a signal etc.)
Power: Prepare AC & DC machines from
chapman. Revise selective topics of Power Engineering from Principals of Power Systems by V.K Mehta. Power calculations are
very important (i.e. finding base values, Impedances, Real & Reactive power
flowing through a circuit, capacitance & inductance values). Revise
Power generation too (it’s important). Also
revise Power Electronics topics especially for SCR, IGBT, MOSFET, BJT, DIODES,
TRIACS & DIACS; their properties, construction, circuits &
applications.
This is the complete course outline for M.S
fellowship test. But you must prepare more than that mentioned above in order
to succeed. By carefully observing the 2014 test questions, you may find out
the exact (But up to a limited accuracy) topics to prepare for a specific
subject for coming year’s test. For example from Circuit Analysis, questions of
Series Parallel combination of Resistors, 1st order & 2nd
order circuits, Maximum Power transfer theorem, Basic Current/Voltage division,
KCL, KVL are much important because questions related to these topics have been
found in Fellowship tests. For instance, at least 3 questions were related to
FET, JFET, & MOSFET as listed in above questions, so this is most important
topic! Same is true for Op-Amp.
Carefully read the sample paper; also search
Internet for past papers for PIEAS B.S and M.S fellowship tests (2010, 2011,
2012 & 2013; 2014 is given above). At least 3-4 questions (or may more) are
from past papers. And many more or related to past paper questions with just
small changes in values etc.!
How
much time should you allot for test preparation? The answer to this
question is quite important for an aspirant candidate to succeed. The time you
set aside for your test preparation depends on a number of factors; you have to
ask a couple of questions to yourself:
•
What is you previous Knowledge Level about the
subject(s)?
•
Are you starting from scratch?
•
Do you plan to revise only or to read the topics
thoroughly?
•
What is your intelligence level?
•
How much are you eager to learn? What
is your Method of Revision?
So, scrutinize each subject and its
sub-topics according to Previous Knowledge, Type of Revision etc. and you may
be able to allocate specific time for each subject. Manage your time well and
you may be able to revise a lot of material in shorter time span! :) For just
to take an example, I completed my revision in 4-5 days from 04 June, 2014 to
08 June, 2014. I revised only F.Sc Maths and Physics books, because I had left
with no time for Subject Preparation (as 8th semester’s finals
started from 10th June). Then I got one and half day more after 2nd
paper of finals. I again reviewed Maths & Physics one time and looked upon
some topics from engineering subjects. That was all of my preparations!
Attempting a MCQs based test is itself an
art. Mastering that art with a proper commingle of preparation will get you
through any test. You’ve 3 hours and 100 MCQs; spend each second of available
time wisely. In the first round, attempt only easiest question which you can
solve in less than 30 seconds. Then in the next round try moderate questions.
And in the last, attack the Hard questions, answer those which you can easily
solve, don’t spend a lot of time on a single questions. Use your Brain &
Calculator collectively.
While attempting questions in the test,
beware of the –ve marking, don’t attempt a question unless you’re completely
sure for the correct answer. Never answer a question by mere random guessing.
If you don’t know an answer to question, use educated guesses that may increase
your chance for guessing a correct answer.
Read the question and its answer choices
carefully, now relate each answer choice to the question and find the chances
for this choice to be a correct answer. Use the techniques of reverse solving,
inference from other option, use analogies and make a decision that the choice
being considered can be an answer or not. Similarly, work out all the option
choices and each time roll out the choice which has no (or relatively lesser)
chance to be a correct answer and this way you may increase the probability for
guessing a correct answer.
If
4 multiple choices are given for a question then you have 25% (1/4) probability
of guessing a correct answer randomly. If you eliminate one choice then you’ve
33% chance and if you eliminate two answer choices your correct guessing chance
rises up to 50% and so on.
I answered 98 questions. About 15 of
them were educated guesses, 70+ were correct (according to me), so I expect to
get 220+ marks out of 300. I think 200 marks are enough for a candidate to be
shortlisted for the interview!
