💡 Practical Preparation Tips

Download and study the official notification for your specific discipline/trade – note eligibility, pattern, negative marking, minimum qualifying marks.
Build strong fundamentals of your engineering discipline (for GET) or trade subjects (for Technician). The CBT tests core technical/trade knowledge.
Practice previous year question papers/model papers – helps in time‑management, question type familiarity.
Focus on accuracy and speed – because there is negative marking (‑0.25 for wrong answer), avoid random guessing.
Revision strategy – Maintain notes/formulae/trade shortcuts; review frequently.
Practice general aptitude/English/current affairs sections if part of the pattern (especially for Technician/trade role).
While waiting for interview/trade test, prepare your documents, ensure validity of your certificate/ITI trade certificate, etc.
For the Interview (GET) stage: Brush up on your major projects, branch‑specific applications, current technology trends in electronics/engineering and ECIL’s domain (defence/strategic electronics).
Mock tests under timed conditions – simulate the 100 questions in 120 minutes to build stamina and speed.
Stay updated & consistent – even though the syllabus is broad, consistent daily study yields results better than last‑minute cramming.
