AMIE Section B EEE Exam study guide
AMIE Section B EEE Exam · Work through your exam, one topic at a time.
The Section A & B Examination is the examination route administered by The Institution of Engineers (India), commonly referred to as the AMIE Section B stage. IEI describes itself as India's voice of engineering and has existed since 1920, and it lists the Section A&B Examination under its Education and CPD examinations menu, alongside Instructions and Guidelines, Registrations of Section B, and Laboratory Experiments. The AMIE Section B EEE Exam study guide has 5 sections and about 1,412 words.
01Electrical Engineering Division: Power Systems, Machines, and Circuit Fundamentals
A candidate must be fluent in three layers. First, circuit fundamentals: phasors, complex impedance, three-phase star/delta relationships (line voltage = √3 × phase voltage, line current = phase current in star), real/reactive/apparent power, and power factor correction.
312 words, about 2 min02Electronics and Telecommunication Engineering Division: Signals, Devices, and Links
Expect questions spanning analog devices (diode models, BJT and MOSFET biasing, op-amp ideal assumptions), digital electronics (Boolean algebra, flip-flops, counters, logic families), signals and systems (Fourier and Laplace transforms, convolution, sampling and aliasing), and communication (modulation, bandwidth, noise figure, link budgets). A candidate should be able to move between time and frequency domains and to state the ideal op-amp rules: infinite input impedance, zero output impedance, and virtual short between inputs under negative feedback.
297 words, about 1 min03Computer Engineering Division: Architecture, Data Structures, and Networks
Questions usually test computer organisation (CPU datapath, pipelining, cache hierarchy, memory addressing), data structures and algorithms (complexity, trees, hashing, sorting), operating systems (processes, scheduling, deadlock, virtual memory), and networking (OSI and TCP/IP layering, addressing, subnetting, routing). A candidate should be able to compute cache hit ratios, trace a sorting algorithm, and perform subnet calculations without a calculator.
266 words, about 1 min04Mechanical Engineering Division: Thermodynamics, Mechanics, and Fluids
Candidates must handle thermodynamics (first and second laws, ideal gas relations, Rankine and Brayton cycles, entropy), strength of materials (stress, strain, bending, torsion, Mohr's circle, fatigue), fluid mechanics (Bernoulli, continuity, Reynolds number, friction losses, pumps), and machine design (bearings, gears, shafts, fits). A solid grasp of units and sign conventions matters as much as the formulas.
260 words, about 1 min05Civil Engineering Division: Structures, Materials, and Hydraulics
The civil syllabus covers structural analysis (determinacy, bending moment and shear force diagrams, trusses, deflection), concrete and steel design (limit state concepts, mix design, reinforcement detailing), soil mechanics (classification, effective stress, bearing capacity, consolidation), fluid mechanics and hydrology (flow measurement, open channel flow, rainfall-runoff), and surveying and transportation basics. Miscounting static indeterminacy: degree = (3m + r) − 3j for a rigid frame, and a hinge reduces the count.
