Recommended Syllabus for EKT Exam of AFCAT for Electrical and Electronics Engineering
Guys if you are thinking of finding any official syllabus for EKT
exam then please stop, Board has not declared any official syllabus for EKT
exam, every site has prepared syllabus on observation basis and claim to this
will be devoided. You can find the syllabus for EKT exam for Electrical and Electronics Engineering. EKT exam are given by those who have qualified
AFCAT exam and opted Technical branch.
If you are having good knowledge of your field then you need not
to worry for that you will clear it easily it is not so hard as you are
thinking.
And Engineers have special capabilities everyone knows it, i don't
want to mention. I have provided a post regarding:
Complete overview, Purpose, Process and Preparation Tips for EKT
Exam please read it also.
