Coast Guard Assistant Commandant Exam Pattern, Sample Papers & Books

This article of mine is intended to provide you the prep materials for  Indian Coast Guard Assistant Commandants Exam - by pointing you to whatever prep materials are available on the net for the same. It follows from an earlier blog post titled: Coast Guard Asst. Commandant Recruitment 2013 Notification & Forms which introduces you to the topic and how to apply for the same.Let me begin that by saying you that resources available on the net for the Assistant Commandants exam is very scarce – specially with respect to the MAT (Mental Ability test) in the Preliminary Selection. In absence of authentic information on any exam, I always advise the aspirants to help of similar exams – for example in this case, you can refer to the Assistant Commandants exam for Central Police Forces conducted by UPSC.First let us start with an analysis of the selection process for Assistant Commandants in Indian Coast Guard. Exam Pattern/Format for Assistant Commandants in Indian Coast Guard:Selection Process for Assistant Commandant in Indian Coast Guard consists of a two stage selection - Preliminary Selection & Final Selection, followed by Medical exam. You can find the components of these two stages in the table given below:
You can find short description of the tests below:MAT (Mental Ability test): MAT in Assistant Commandants exam consists of General Awareness & Test of Reasoning (Verbal & Non Verbal Reasoning).PP&DT (Picture Perception & Discussion Test): In this test, a picture is shown to the candidates for a very brief period of time – say for only 30 seconds. You than have to write a story in about 4 minutes, based on what is your perception about the picture. Next, there will be a Group Discussion, in which each member of the group describes his story about the picture and try to arrive at a common story for the group.Above two tests are in the Preliminary selection stage. You have to qualify in MAT and only than you can appear for PP&DT. And only if you can clear both of them, you would be called for Final selection stage, which consists of following tests:Psychologist test: This consists of TAT, WAT, SRT & SD as described below.Thematic Apperception Test (TAT): Also called as Picture Story writing. Similar to PP & DT, but here there is no discussion. Also, you will be shown about 12 slides, each only for about 30 seconds. You have to write a story on the picture being shown.Word Association Test (WAT): Similar to TAT, about 60 words are shown in quick succession, each word lasting for only 15 seconds. You have to write the first thought which comes to your mind on seeing the word – it may be a sentence or a phrase.Situation Reaction Test (SRT): Here some situational cases are given and you have to write what is your reaction in those situations – say you had gone on tour and have lost your purse – what would you do?Self Description Test (SD): You have to describe yourself in a passage.

Since the selection process is so similar to the SSB Interview (conducted for selection of Indian armed forces), you can go through this exclusive blog post on SSB Interview & how to prepare.

Sample paper/Previous Years Papers for Coast Guard Asst. Commandants Exam:Since only written part for the Coast Guard Asst. Commandants Exam is MAT, I had searched on net for sample papers specific to MAT of Coast Guard Asst. Commandants Exam. But could not find any. So you have to relay on books in your preparation for this exam. However, this sample paper of CPF Asst. Commandants Exam may be an eye opener.Prep Books for Coast Guard Asst. Commandants Exam:Since materials available on the net for this exam is very scarce, you have to rely on books to prepare for the same. You can use following books to prepare for Coast Guard Assistant Commandants Exam.

BSF ASI (Steno) & HC (Min) Exam Pattern Papers Books

This blog article of mine is a sequel to a previous blog post titled: BSF ASI HC Recruitment 2012-2013 Notification & Forms and is intended to provide you the prep materials for BSF recruitment exam for Assistant Sub Inspector (ASI-Steno) and Head Constables (HC-Ministerial). It at first discusses about the pattern of BSF ASI & HC Exam and than goes on to provide you the sample papers & prep books to prepare for the same.
In the very beginning, let me tell you that prep materials available on the net for  BSF ASI & HC written Exam is very scarce- almost non-existent and hence, you have to depend on prep materials available for similar recruitment exams conducted for bank clerks as well as for SSC exam for Stenographers etc.

Selection process for BSF ASI-Steno & HC-Ministerial:

Selection process for ASI-Steno & HC-Ministerial positions in BSF is conducted in two phases: Written exam in Phase-I & other tests in Phase-II. You can find the selection process in the flow-chart at right.

The skill test for BSF ASI & HC consists of following:
BSF ASI (Steno):
Shorthand 70 WPM in English or in Hindi for 10 minutes.
Transcription of English diction in 60 minutes or Hindi diction in 75 minutes on computer.
BSF ASI (Min):

Typing 30 WPM in English or 25 WPM in Hindi for 10 minutes.

For getting the prep materials for typing skills for BSF skill test, you can visit my previous article titled: Data Entry Operators Skill Test to test your typing speed.
Exam Pattern/Syllabus for BSF ASI & HC Exam: There are 100 marks in the written exam,which is of 1-hour 40 minute duration. It has five parts and you can find the section-wise mark-distribution of BSF ASI & HC Exam in the table at left. Minimum qualifying mark is 35 for General category & 33 for others. This exam pattern is very similar to Common written exam for bank clerks conducted by IBPS, which is as given in the table at right:  As you can see all the sections are identical and only the number of questions and hence the mark is double in IBPS CWE for Clerk. Hence you can use the prep materials (i.e. sample paper & book) for IBPS CWE for Clerk to prepare for the written exam of BSF ASI (Steno) & HC (Min).

No Syllabus for BSF ASI & HC Exam has been given along with the notification. But you can take help of the syllabus given for CISF ASI exam, which has almost almost the same format. You can click here to download this syllabus.

Sample papers for BSF ASI & HC Exam:
Although I searched on the net for sample/previous years exam papers of BSF ASI & HC Exam, I could not locate any reliable papers. But I feel following authentic previous years SSC Steno exam papers should help you understand what sort of questions are asked in recruitment exams:
Click here to find a SSC Steno exam paper (English language) in allinterview.com

As you can find all these sample/model papers of SSC Steno exam gives you only one section of the exam – the English language. Therefore, you should rely on books (Practice Papers) available in the market to prepare for this exam.
Books for preparation of BSF ASI & HC Exam:I could find following books for BSF exam for ASI-Steno & HC-Ministerial.  These books are available in most of the good book shops. You can also order them online by clicking the book name through credit card/debit card/net banking as well as by Cash-On-Delivery (i.e. you pay when you get the book) from flipkart.com, which is giving a good discount of 20%.What's more - the postage is free if the order exceeds Rs. 300/=.

First, let us do that by analyzing the pattern of exam for various positions in  Jaipur Metro.For JMRC Station Controller/ Train Operator: Written Test, Psychometric Test, Interview.For JMRC Customer Relations Assistant: Written Test, Interview.For JMRC  Junior Engineers: Written Test.For JMRC Maintainers:Written Test.The successful candidates after crossing the above selection process has to undergo Medical Fitness Test.If you have examined the above selection process for JMRC recruitment, you will find that for Station Controller/ Train Operators, there is a separate test called Psychometric Test, which is purely qualifying (just like Medical Test). But if you do not qualify in Psychometric Test, you may not be called for JMRC Interview.Jaipur Metro (JMRC) Exam Pattern:
As given in the notification, JMRC is going to test you on following test areas:Languages, General Knowledge & Awareness, General science, Computer proficiency, Quantitative Aptitude, Logical Reasoning, Domain knowledge, competencies, personality traits and job-related specific abilities.With above broad guidelines, following is the pattern of exam for individual posts in JMRC:Jaipur Metro Exam Pattern for JMRC Station Controller/ Train Operator:Jaipur Metro Exam Pattern for Customer Relations AssistantJaipur Metro Exam Pattern for Junior Engineers:Jaipur Metro Exam Pattern for Maintainers:
If you have examined the above Jaipur Metro Exam Pattern closely you will find that for the technical positions (i.e. JE & Maintainers), there is no Interview and the selection would be held purely based on the written exam. That is why total marks in the written test for these two positions is 100 marks while for other positions (i.e. Station Controller/ Train Operator & CRA), total mark is 90 - Interview bearing the rest 10 marks. Jaipur Metro Exam paper has to be answered in 2 hours & 15 minutes. And there is negative marking in JMRC exam - 0.25 for each wrong answer. So make your guess answers wisely!

You can however try these DMRC exam papers from FreshersWorld, although I do not vouch for the authenticity of these papers.
