Electrical Engineer

The GATE Syllabus for Electrical Engineering will boost preparation and give an idea of the topics and concepts covered in Electrical Engineering (EE). The GATE Syllabus for Electrical Engineering 2024 is divided into ten main sections. The main topics included in the syllabus are Electric circuits, Engineering Mathematics, Electromagnetic Fields, Signals and Systems, Electrical Machines, Power Systems, Control Systems, Electrical and Electronic Measurements, Analog and Digital Electronics and Power Electronics. Check below for a detailed section-by-section syllabus.
Section-wise Electrical Engineering Syllabus
Section 1: Engineering Mathematics
Linear Algebra, Calculus, Differential Equations, Complex Variables, Probability and Statistics.
Section 2: Electric Circuits
Network Elements consists of ideal votlage and current sources, dependent sources, Network theorems, etc.
Section 3: Electromagnetic Fields
Columb's Law, Electric Field Intensity, Electric Flux Density, Gauss's Law, Divergence, Electric Field and Potential due to point, line, plane, etc.
Section 4: Signals and Systems
Representation of continuous and discrete time signals, shifting and scaling properties, linear time invariant and causal systems, etc.
Section 5: Electrical Machines
Single phase transformer: equivalent circuit, phasor diagram, open circuit and short circuit tests, regulation and efficiency; Three-phase transformers: connections, vector groups, parallel operation; Auto-transformer, etc.
Section 6: Power Systems
Basic concepts of electrical power generation, ac and dc transmission concepts, Models and performance of transmission lines and cables, Economic Load Dispatch (with and without considering transmission losses), Series and shunt compensation, etc.

The Bhabha Atomic Research Centre (BARC) has a two-stage process exam.
1- Written Exam: GATE/ BARC online exam.
2- Interview. Preparation strategy for Written exam: No special strategy just try to prepare for the Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering Exam, thoroughly. If you do well in the Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering, Bhabha Atomic Research Centre will become one of the options among many, GATE scores are going to offer you. If you don't perform well in the Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering, then you have to prepare for the online exam. For this just solve Engineering Services Examination (ESE's) previous questions, from the GATE syllabus. Practice and try to answer each question in Less than a minute because you have only 3 hours to solve 100 questions. Preparation strategy for the Interview:
For the Interview, you just need to study five subjects of your Choice. Make sure Power systems are present and Machines. Try to prepare each subject from a standard textbook. Also, focus on the basics concept and analysis part. For the Interview, the numerical part is not needed. Power Systems by CL Wadhwa. Machines by Nagrath and Kothari
Power Electronics by PS Bimbhra. You can also try the NPTEL lectures or youtube videos for the above subjects. I hope this will help you.

For engineers, the Indian Railway offers two services. The first is the prestigious group, the Central Engineering Services (IES). The second one is junior engineer (JE) services. There are two positions for electrical engineers to apply for.
(a) First, you can apply for the Indian Engineering Services Exam conducted by UPSC. When completing the application, you must select the "Electrical Engineer" branch. After passing the written exam, you can choose Indian Railways Services for Electrical Engineers from the "preferred services" section of DAF.
You'll be given a job as an electrical engineer for the railways once your interview is successful.
1. You will join the Indian Railways as an Assistant Divisional Electrical Engineer. You can get promoted to the post of general manager in the electrical engineering department.
2. Your starting pay band is Rs. 15600 to 39100 with a grade pay of Rs. 5400.
(b) The second way is to apply for a junior engineer post through the RRB JE exam conducted by RRB. You will have to apply for the Electrical and Allied Engineering group. You will be hired as a junior electrical engineer by the Indian Railways after passing the exam.
1. After getting a permanent posting, your grade pay will be Rs. 4,200, and your pay band will be Rs. 29300 to 34800.
2. You will join as a junior engineer, and the career growth is junior engineer, senior section engineer, divisional engineer (DEN), and finally senior divisional engineer (Sr. DEN).
