These sections cover the entire syllabus of the engineering discipline among the four namely, Civil, Mechanical, Electrical and Electronics & Telecommunication Engineering. Section-I is divided into two parts (Part A & B), where Part A comprises questions from General English and General Studies (200 marks) and is of 2 hours duration. Part B has objective type questions from the relevant engineering discipline and is further divided into Paper I & II of 200 marks each and are of  2 hours duration each.

      Section II consists of questions in the specific engineering discipline, divided into Paper I & II, carrying 200 marks each but the duration of each paper is 3 hours. Thus the total maximum marks is 1000 (600 in Section - I and 400 in Section-II).  The objective type papers in Section - I, evaluated first are considered as qualifying.

      The standard of papers in General Ability is such as may be expected of a Science or Engineering graduate of an Indian university. The standard of papers in other engineering subjects is broadly of an Engineering degree examination and covers the entire syllabus. For General Ability, candidates are assessed on their understanding of English and workmanlike use of words etc. General Studies includes questions from current events and of such matters of every day observation and experience. It includes questions on History of India and Geography of Nature.
