ONGC PAPER ON 24th AUGUST AT CHENNAI

Hi , I have attended the test on 24 th Aug ,2008.It was an online test.Each candidate was provided with  a computer at the test centre in which the test paper was to appear.

The paper has two sections

1.General knowledge.
2.Technical knowledge. 

Technical
As i was from industrial engg i prepared only my subjects like operations research,quality engg ,work measurement etc..I got very few questions from these areas.The rest of the questions were from fluid mechanics and engineering materials.

Example
Q. Alumina is the ore of.....?
a. Magnesium.
b. Aluminium.
c. Copper.
d. none.

And the major part of the questions were from Electrical engg.Almost more than 40% of the technical paper was from  electrical engg syllabus.The questions were basics like what is the purpose of an induction motor,what is the diff between a transformer  and a rectifier .....etc.

General
The question in this section were mainly from Macroeconomics(GDP,Literacy %,Economic policies) and Governance in india before independence( for example who was lord mountboton,lord wellesley,Dullhousy etc.)

Some (1or 2)of them are from biology too.
