UPRVUNL AE study guide
UPRVUNL AE · Work through your exam, one topic at a time.
The UPRVUNL Assistant Engineer recruitment is conducted by Uttar Pradesh Rajya Vidyut Utpadan Nigam (UPRVUNL), the state-owned thermal and renewable power generation utility of Uttar Pradesh, to fill Assistant Engineer posts in generation plants and corporate offices. It suits graduate engineers in Electrical, Mechanical, Electronics, Civil or Instrumentation disciplines who want a stable public-sector engineering career in power generation rather than distribution. The UPRVUNL AE study guide has 5 sections and about 1,484 words.
01Engineering Discipline (Electrical / Mechanical / Electronics / Civil / Instrumentation)
The AE technical paper is set in the discipline you applied for, but UPRVUNL is a generating utility, so questions cluster around power-plant application rather than pure theory. Electrical: three-phase relations (P = √3 V L I L cos φ, Y–Δ conversion), transformer equivalent circuit, efficiency and all-day efficiency, synchronous-machine excitation and V-curves, line parameters, circuit-breaker ratings, Merz-Price and distance protection.
335 words, about 2 min02General Awareness and Current Affairs
UPRVUNL's GA section mixes Uttar Pradesh static GK, Indian polity and economy, basic science, and current affairs of roughly the preceding eight to ten months, with a visible tilt toward the power and energy sector. UP-specific: state symbols, districts and divisions, rivers, expressways (Purvanchal, Bundelkhand, Gorakhpur Link, Ganga Expressway), defence-corridor nodes, ODOP and GI-tagged products, state institutions.

General Intelligence here follows the standard SSC pattern: series, analogy, coding–decoding, blood relations, direction sense, syllogism, seating arrangement, inequalities, clock and calendar, dice and cubes, plus non-verbal items (mirror image, paper folding, embedded figures, figure series). Direction sense: draw axes and turn on paper; keep the start as origin; a left turn while facing south means facing east.

Questions come from व्याकरण rather than literature: संधि and संधि-विच्छेद, समास and its types, उपसर्ग–प्रत्यय, तत्सम/तद्भव, पर्यायवाची, विलोम, अनेकार्थी शब्द, मुहावरे और लोकोक्तियाँ, कारक और विभक्ति, वाक्य-शुद्धि, रस, अलंकार and छंद. संधि: distinguish स्वर संधि (दीर्घ, गुण, वृद्धि, यण, अयादि) and व्यंजन संधि by the resulting vowel.
252 words, about 1 min05Computer Knowledge / Quantitative Aptitude
The computer portion is factual and shallow: generations and hardware, input/output devices, memory hierarchy (registers → cache → RAM → secondary storage), units (1 KB = 1024 bytes), number-system conversion, operating-system basics, MS Office shortcuts and file extensions, networking (LAN/WAN, IP address, topologies, HTTP/FTP/SMTP), internet and e-mail, DBMS keys, and security terms such as phishing, firewall and malware. Arithmetic carries the most marks: percentage, ratio and proportion, average, profit and loss, simple and compound interest, time–work, time–speed–distance, trains and boats, mixtures, mensuration, and data interpretation.
