BARC exam 2013 Syllabus and exam pattern

for Electronics and communications(ECE)

BARC(baba atomic research center) is a premier multi-
disciplinary Nuclear Research Centre of India works on atomic and nuclear field, this is the one
of the challenging work for an engineers who really interested to work in atomic field.

The OCES/DGFS electronics written exam paper is totally technical questions and The level of
the question paper is similar to the GATE paper but not much tough as GATE. Prepare a plan to
study, dont concentrate more on studying text books, Do more work on Objective bits and
concentrate more on previous papers of GATE,IES,JTO,..etc whatever previous technical
question paper you have do it first, I will post more articles on how to prepare for competitive
exam later on. one who works on bits can easily qualify in written exam. This paper consists of
both theoretical and problematic questions.

There is no specific syllabus given by BARC we are expecting more questions from the below
topics. The exam Paper may contains 100 question (2 hours duration) only Technical questions
there is no general questions. The most of the questions will come from Analog and digital
electronics, electromagnetic and microwave, Communication(analog & digital),control systems,
Signal and systems, Microprocessor, Computer organization,Network theory.

In analog electronics: Most of the questions will come from OP-AMP, feedback amplifiers,
oscillators, amplifiers, diode equation, zener diode, A-D and D-A converters.
In digital electronics: K-map, Combinational( Mutiplexer, encoder, decoder, basic logic
circuits) and sequential circuits(flip-flops, registers, counters).
In electromagnetic: Maxwells equations, Electromagnetic wave propagations, transmission
lines, microwave.
In communications: AM, FM, PM, PCM, DM, FSK, QPSK, PAM, PPM, noise, ISI, probability
of errors,
In control systems: Stability, steady state response, transient response, compensators, Root
locus, bode plot.
Insignal and systems: signal basics, system basics, Fourier transform, laplace transform, z-
transform.
In microprocessor: mainly they will ask 8085 basics and small programs.
Innetwork theory: nodal analysis , mesh analysis, theorems(thevinens, nortons, max power
theorem, superposition), two port networks.

Practice all previous GATE questions,IES, JTO, etc... don't believe this is the exact BARC
syllabus fully some what we are expecting finally i suggest you to just followthe total GATE
syllabus.
