So kindly be prepared .

The torrent placement drive was arranged for ELECTRICAL final-year students. The process started with a brief introduction about torrent power and their plants (SUGEN & DGEN) along with the role that we have to play as a GET (graduate engineer trainee).

After which the written test took place which consisted.

I) Electrical domain (75 questions).

II) Quantitative aptitude (25 questions).

The total time allotted was (45+15) respectively.

The questions consisted of theory objective type questions mainly as the time allotted was quite less.
