Engineering Assistants / Ward Amenities Secretary exam was held in September 2019 for the first time with new syllabus and exam pattern. Following are the questions with official final key of that exam. The questions are from Engineering subject (PART – B) and will be useful for the candidates appearing for Grama / Ward Sachivalayam exams in 2020 and thereafter in Andhra Pradesh. We are also offering online exams / model papers covering all the syllabus which will help you in your preparation and success in the exam. See the details below:
