APPSC AEE 2018 Syllabus, Exam Pattern, Selection Process

APPSC AEE Syllabus 2018 : The APPSC AEE Recruitment Examination is conducted as an objective type test. AEE exam pattern and syllabus is given in detail here. The exam will test the knowledge of the applicants in general studies and the concerned subject-matter expertise of the candidates based on the department and position for which they apply. Mechanical, civil and agricultural engineers are commonly recruited through the APPSC AEE exam (Andhra Pradesh Public Service Commission Assistant Executive Engineer).

The detailed syllabus for the test is issued by the APPSC along with the notification for the recruitment of the right candidates for the AEE Position to serve different departments in the Andhra Pradesh State Government. Preparation and practicing with the past AEE Exam previous papers will help candidates to get through the test. The exam will be conducted in the coming months after the issuing admit card.

APPSC AEE Exam Pattern 2018

AEE test is conducted for 450 marks in total and there will be three papers in the test. The first paper is the general studies, while the second paper is on the concerned subject, while the third paper is an optional paper, where candidates can take any one of the options like civil, mechanical or agriculture on which they have their UG degree. The questions will be on the standard of the UG degree.
