SYLLABUS

It will have total 60 questions which will be divided in two

parts: 30 questions of Physics and Mathematics each. The
level of questions will be of 12th standard with a few
questions testing graduation level knowledge of the
applicant. As AAI has started putting only Physics and
Mathematics questions from 2015. I have listed some of
the topics for you which were asked in JE (ATC) exam
conducted on 26th April 2015. The syllabus for the exam
still remains the same to this day:
Physics: Dimensions of Force/Work/Torque/Energy etc.,
Numerical on Newton’s Laws of Motion, Angular
momentum numerical, Numerical on static Friction, Torque
variation, type of forces: centripetal and centrifugal,
Potential and Kinetic Energy formula based numerical,
Theoretical question on definition of
diffraction/refraction/Total Internal Reflection/Reflection,
Vector and Scalar Product, Wave motion, Theoretical
questions on Transverse and Longitudinal waves,
Numerical on wavelength of Lyman, Balmer, Paschen
series, various Atomic models, Numerical on Hook’s
Law,Elasticity, Diode Numerical, doping in
Semiconductors, p-type and n-type semiconductors,
Barkhausen stability criterion, Ideal Gas equation, Specific
heat theoretical question, Numerical on resolving power of
prism, volume based numerical, numerical on level rise of a
field of defined area due to rain,Satellite communication
numerical like orbital velocity, Escape velocity etc. Here, I'd
suggest that you focus more on Mechanics and
Thermodynamics in particular.
Mathematics: The topics include Convergence and
Divergence, Matrix (Eigen Value, types of matrices e.g.
Idempotent matrix, to find out determinant of matrix, to check
consistency of given equation, rank of matrix), Coordinate
Geometry (No. of tangents of a sphere, condition of co-
linearity and to check collinear points, line equation,
parabola, ellipse etc.), simple Probability problem, Equation
of planes and relationship between planes, Vector planes,
Differential equations, Complex variables, Simple questions
on integration and differentiation, questions on Graphs
theory. Here, I'd suggest that you focus a bit more on
Matrix, Coordinate Geometry and Differential Equations.
 Non-Technical Section
It will have 60 questions which include questions from
General Knowledge, Reasoning, Numerical
ability/Quantitative problems and English. The standard of
questions is same as of SSC CGLE. Reasoning covers
almost one third of this section i.e. 20 questions. 15
questions from Numerical ability and English each and 10
questions from GK.
English will cover antonym/synonym, direct/indirect
speech, idioms, one word substitution, one passage, error
correction, prepositions.
