Subject Preparation:
Basic Electrical Engineering: Revise Circuit Analysis I & II from David Irwins
book or any other Basic Circuit Analysis book (1st order & 2nd order circuits are
important). Review EMT from William H. Hayts Book or Alexander Sadikos. Learn
all basic equations (i.e. Maxwells, Poisson, Laplace, Ampere, Green/Stokes
Theorems etc.). Have a basic review of DLD book by Thomas L. Floyd. Pay special
attention to combinational logic circuits (Theyre important). Have an insight of
sequential logic. You may skip K-maps and other lengthy portions.
Electronics, Electronic Circuits and Components: For this portion, prepare
thoroughly Electronic Circuit & Devices by Robert T. Paynter or Thomas Floyds
Electronic Devices. FET, JFET and MOSFETs components, circuits, biasing and
analysis is REALLY important. Learn them by heart (in fact brain :P).
Controls and Communications Systems: For control systems, review Control
System by Norman S. Nice. (Samarajit Ghoshs book is not up to standard). Revise
basics of Open loop & Feedback Control systems. Stable & Un-Stable system
conditions, poles-zeros plots, bode plots, frequency response, Phase margin, gain
margin, root locus and all basic relevant topics.
Communication Systems: (Advance topics from this portion are asked in test)
Prepare Laplace & Fourier transforms (important). Harmonics, AM & FM
modulation techniques, Slew rate, Fourier magnitude & phase plots, filters (IIR &
FIR). You may refer to Modern Digital & Analog Communication Systems by B. P.
Lathi. Also review topics from Signal & Systems and DSP. Prepare basics (i.e. LTI
systems, signals & their properties, convolution, Fourier series & transform plots of
a signal etc.)
Power: Prepare AC & DC machines from chapman. Revise selective topics of
Power Engineering from Principals of Power Systems by V.K Mehta. Power
calculations are very important (i.e. finding base values, Impedances, Real &
Reactive power flowing through a circuit, capacitance & inductance values). Revise
Power generation too (its important). Also revise Power Electronics topics
