SAIL Electrical-Engineering-EE

With the help of previous year’s question papers and sample papers candidates can gets an idea about the SAIL 2015 examination. SAIL Paper pattern consist of objective queries divided into two sections. Part-I consists of aptitude queries whereas Part-II are going to be having questions from relevant discipline.This is a SAIL management trainee paper including electrical engineering questions.
