GSECL and GETCO both are leading power generation and distribution companies in Gujarat. Both companies invited applications for the post of JE(Vidyut Sahayak) for their various offices located all over the state. An engineering graduate can prepare for both examinations simultaneously. Read this article carefully to understand how you can prepare for both the exams:
First, to prepare for both the exams, let us understand the question paper pattern. BYJU’S Exam Prep is of great help in preparing you for both the exams as well as other exams. GSECL & GETCO both follow the same pattern to set up the paper. The pattern is given below:
Section 1: General Knowledge(10%)
Section 2: English Knowledge(10%)
Section 3: Specific Engineering Subject(60%)
Section 4: Computer Knowledge(10%)
Section 5: Gujarati Language & Grammar(10%)
The syllabus of Sections 1,2,4 & 5 are the same; if you are preparing for these sections through any standard sources and books, you will be able to solve the questions of these sections for both the examinations.
The only place where the preparation of both the examinations will differ is the syllabus of Engineering subjects.
The subject-specific syllabus of the GETCO JE exam is in more detail than the GSECL JE syllabus, which means that you have to put more effort into studying the engineering subjects for the GETCO JE examination.
For example, let us compare the syllabus of civil engineering:
Syllabus of GSECL JE (Civil):
- Engineering Mathematics
- Construction Materials & Management
- Structural Engineering
- Concrete Structures
- Soil Mechanics & Foundation Engineering
- Steel Structure
- Water Supply and Sanitation
- Rain Water Harvesting
- Water & wastewater
- Water Proofing
- Municipal Solid Waste Management
- Sewage Treatment Plants and Treated Sewage Water
- Road / Railways
Syllabus of GETCO JE (Civil):
- Basics of Civil Engineering
- Constructions and designs of the various building, which includes Pile Foundation and RCC Raft
- Soil Mechanics
- Building Designs
- Drainage systems and water supply system
- Building and Steel Super Structures
- Information Technology: Basics
- Construction of Transmission Colonies and Foundations
Now, if you carefully analyse the syllabus of Civil for both the examination, we can see that there are some overlapping topics such as Soil Mechanics, Water Supply, Drainage Systems, etc.
However, some topics need to be studied separately, such as:
- Building and Steel Super Structures
- Basic Knowledge of Information Technology
- Construction of Transmission Tower Foundations and Transmission Colonies
- Road/Railways
Similarly, for all the engineering branches such as Electrical, some topics need to be studied extra, keeping the GETCO JE examination in mind.
For the ease of all the aspirants, we have mentioned the topics of other branches also which needs to be focussed for GETCO JE examination, which is given below:
Extra Topics for Electrical Engineering:
- AC and DC Extra High Voltage Transmission & Network
- Basic Knowledge of Information Technology, etc., about Transmission Wing
- Sub-Station Design and Equipments
- Transmission Lines
- Smart Grid Technology, SCADA and Modern Electrical Equipments
After studying the extra topics of the specific engineering subjects, it is advised to all the aspirants to solve the previous year question paper of GSECL & GETCO, which will help you understand the type of questions that are asked in both recruitment examination.
In case of any difference in the type of questions being asked the focus must be given to that particular type of question.
Solve as many mock papers as possible to practice the type of questions.
