Preface
These days more and more objective type questions are being asked in various competitive examinations to test real knowledge of students. Thus, the present day trend of competitive examinations with objective type questions is aimed at evaluating the conceptual and mathematical skills of the examinees. Almost all leading public and private sector organizations are conducting such tests for the recruitment of engineer trainees as well as management trainees. With large number of candidates appearing in such tests every year, the competition has become tough. Therefore, for success in such tests, one must be familiar with the style of questions generally asked, and practice solving these questions and get the correct answer.
There are basically Three Levels of Multiple Choice Questions that are asked.
Level 1 that needs the concept, basic knowledge and implementation of technical skills very quickly. In such case, the number of ques-
Level 1 and 2 type questions need the concept, basic knowledge with the numerical skills to solve the problems in short time. The num-
Level 2 and 3 type questions need the concept, basic knowledge with the mathematical skills to solve the problems in short time. The
JTO and DRDO examinations fall.
To develop this book, we have consulted a number of students who different examinations previously. We have collected the memory based questions and analyzed the pattern. We have put full effort to make this book useful for students/engineers.
There are number of books available in markets which contain large number of questions and answers. We have developed a book which contains thousands of questions and answers with the detailed solutions. This will be help the students to correct the fundaments and apply to the similar problems that they may face in competitive examinations.
This book consists of thirteen chapters namely, Materials and Components, Physical Electronics, Electron Devices and ICs, Signals and System, Network Theory, Electromagnetic Theory, Electronic Measurements and Instrumentation, Analog Electronic Circuits, Digital Electronic Circuits, Control Systems, Communication Systems, Microwave Engineering and Computer Engineering. Bibliography given at the end of the text aims to stimulate the readers to go in for further reading to seek in-depth knowledge.
