SAIL PAPER ON 3RD APRIL,2008

Hi................Friends........ I am sreevasavi.......I would like to tell about the written test which was conducted by SAIL...... I am from mechanical branch.........basically we have 250 questions...............in that we have parts.....in that

1.Aptitude in that they have asked most of the questions from percentage , profit and loss , problems on train , Simple Interest, Compound Interest, Calender, Age problems, Time and Work ,H.C.F & L.C.F, average, square roots, Decimal Fractions, Discount problems, Odd man out and series. Hey friends just go through the R.S AGGARWAL. 2.Verbal in that they have asked for meanings, opposites, appropriate words, Passages, analogy, relationships, Coding and decoding ,cubes and dice, statement and conclusions, Mirror images, Alphabet test, Mathematical Operations, Data sufficiency. follow Verbal and NON-verbal Reasoning by R.S AGGARWAL. 3.General Awareness this all about general knowledge test of the student. So try to refer some G.K general questions like some quotations given by great people like Mahatma Gandhi they will give some quotation n they will ask who said this quotation like that, next O2 is carried out by red blood cells n some on nature n some n history n some on current affairs n some on politics n some on food products like that so try to know some general questions. 4.Technical Test In this they will ask about subject as I am from mechanical they asked questions from Automobile engineering, Design of machine members, Strength of materials, Kinematics, MOF, Thermal subject study all cycles n about working of piston n they have asked some problems from DMM n some problems on turbines n some of determining speeds so frens do concentrate up on core subjects which we have in our 2nd and 3rd and 4-1 sem subjects that too core subjects. Frens we have negative marking for each wrong answer they will deduct 1/4 mark so first try to do only known questions n they try other questions we will have time for 2hrs and 20mins so try the best. to day only I have given exam I donno any information regarding portion so I dint perform that much good in General Awareness and some tech questions and I am poor at verbal........so I dont want other people do the same as I did in the exam so I giving clear cut of this SAIL written test.Hope the best frens........bubbye.... Pray for me frens (vasavi)

Hello Friends, Today was my SAIL paper and i want to share my experience with you. There were 200 questions total consisting of two parts: 1) First 100 questions were of your respective field, mine was ECE, which you have to attempt within 1 hour and 15 mins. 2) The next 100 questions were related to general knowledge, english, cubes dices, verbal. Now I would like to say that in ECE more emphasis was given on Resonant frequency questions, RLC circuits, instantaneous current, average power, some questions were on control system (nyquist plot), amplifier questions on (CE, beta, alpha), digital circuits, op amp, CMRR, slew rate, some questions on torque (which i couldn't understand ha ha). Guys there will be negative marking ok. So after 75 mins we were asked to open our next paper It had questions like * Bihu is which state dance, * New rupee represntationis given by whom * Where is jim corbet park

* Bhutan has what currency, * Rajiv Gandhi khel ratna award 2010 given to whom * 2 passage in English A cube is painted yellow on adjacent sides and blue on its opposite side and white on the rest of the faces and divided into 64 pieces the which parts will have atleast blue, atleast white * 3 compound interest question * 3 simple interest question * 3 some question on sets like if total students are 99 667 attempted part A, 46 attempted B, 56 attempted C, 34 attempted both A and B, 17 attempted both B & C, 50 attempted C and A and 2 attempted all the sets then find the persons who attempted only A not B and C, find the persons who attempted only B not A and C. In the end i would just say that the paper was easy and you should remember the formula in your tips to crack SAIL. All the best to all next time.

5 Questions on articles 5 Questions on fill in the blanks with correct words 10 Questions on paragraph reading. Quantitative Ability (25 questions) Most of the questions were based on Compound interest, Simple interest, Work, Age related which can be founnd in R.S Aggarwal Logical Reasining (25 questions) A situation was given and questions were based on that situation like cube pained with 3 colors and then divided into 64 equal cubes what no of cubes with single color and so on. Two statements are given and asked whether the question can be solved based on the statements? A person traveled east west and finally how far is from the source? Note: To clear the exam you need to clear the sectional cutoff of each sub-section in Section-II also. This was the major deciding factor as after attempting section-I for 75 min then only section-II can be attempted for the next 75 mins The technical paper of E&T was difficult as it was mainly theoretical and were based on concepts of the subjects. Section-II will be easy for an engineer, but the time may not be sufficient as there is sub sectional cutoff. Note: In the instructions of admit card it was told to bring only ball point pen but in the exam they the answers were needed to be marked with HB pencil. So, please take pencils with you for the examination. Good luck for your attempts to be a part of SAIL. Awaiting result of the exam now.
