Written Test: All eligible candidates attending the walk-in will appear for a written test.
Merit List: Selection is purely on the basis of merit as determined by the marks scored in this written test.
Communication: Shortlisted candidates will be informed only via E-Mail ID.

While the official notification in the article does not detail the exam pattern, the general practice for BEL written tests for similar posts, as seen in search results, often includes:

Questions based on core subjects/disciplines from your qualifying degree (B.E./B.Tech or BBA/BBM/BBS).
A test format that may include both Technical/Core Subject questions and General Aptitude/Reasoning/General Knowledge.

Mandatory Registration & Documents

You must complete two steps to attend the walk-in:

1. NATS 2.0 Portal Registration (Mandatory)

Candidates must register on the National Apprenticeship Training Scheme (NATS) 2.0 portal before the walk-in date (22.11.2025).
A printout of the NATS registration form is a mandatory document to carry.

2. Documents for Walk-in (Bring Originals and One Set of Photocopies)

SSLC (10th) Marks Statement (for Date of Birth proof).
Provisional Degree Certificate (B.E./B.Tech or BBA/BBM/BBS).
Caste Certificate (if applicable).
NATS Registration Copy (Mandatory).
Government-issued ID Proof (Aadhaar Card, PAN Card, etc.).

While the official notification for the BEL Kotdwara Apprentice Walk-in Written Test 2025 does not provide a detailed topic-wise syllabus, it explicitly states that the Question Paper will be based on the basic subjects of the respective discipline.

Based on general BEL recruitment and apprentice exam patterns, the syllabus for the two categories of posts can be broadly divided as follows:

🎓 Syllabus for Graduate Apprentices (B.E./B.Tech)

The written test for Engineering Graduates will focus primarily on your core technical subjects, along with a smaller section for General Aptitude/Reasoning/English (though the focus is generally heavier on the technical part).

1. Core Technical Subjects (Discipline-Specific)

You must focus on the fundamental and core subjects from your 4-year B.E./B.Tech program:

Discipline	Core Subjects / Key Topics
Electronics & Communication Engineering	Basics of Circuits, Electronic Devices, Analog/Digital Electronics, Analog & Digital Communication, Signals & Systems, Control Systems, Microprocessors/Microcontrollers, Network Theory.
Computer Science & Engineering	Digital Logic (Boolean Algebra), Data Structures & Algorithms, Operating Systems, Computer Organization/Architecture, Computer Networks, Database Management Systems (DBMS).
Mechanical Engineering	Strength of Materials/Mechanics of Solids, Thermodynamics & Heat Transfer, Machine Design, Theory of Machines, Manufacturing/Production Technology, Fluid Mechanics, Engineering Mechanics.
Electrical Engineering	Basic Electrical Engineering Concepts (Circuit Laws), Network Theory, Electrical Machines (AC/DC), Power Electronics & Drives, Measurements & Measuring Instruments.
Civil Engineering	Focus on fundamental civil engineering concepts, likely covering areas like Structural Analysis, Construction Materials, Surveying, and Hydraulics.

2. General Section (Common to All)

This section often tests basic quantitative and reasoning skills.

Logical Reasoning: Analogy, Series Completion, Classification, Blood Relations, Coding-Decoding, Direction Sense Test, Puzzles.
Quantitative Aptitude/Numerical Ability: Time & Work, Percentage, Profit & Loss, Ratio & Proportion, Simple & Compound Interest, Data Interpretation.

Business Mathematics/Statistics: Basic quantitative techniques, Data Analysis, Statistical tools.
General Aptitude, Reasoning, and English: Similar to the General Section for the Graduate Apprentices (Logical Reasoning, Quantitative Aptitude, General English).

Preparation Strategy

Since the walk-in is a Written Test and selection is based purely on Merit (marks in the test), your preparation should be highly focused:

Prioritize Core Subjects: Dedicate the majority of your study time to mastering the fundamentals of your B.E./B.Tech or BBA/BBM/BBS discipline.
Practice Objective Questions: The exam is an objective-type test. Practice Multiple Choice Questions (MCQs) from previous years' papers for similar PSU/technical recruitment exams.
Review Basics: Ensure a strong grasp of foundational concepts, as the paper is based on "basic subjects."
