Previous year paper and books for FCI ASSISTANT GRADE-III EXAM

In my last post I discussed on FCI Recruitment 2015, As Assistant Grade-III jobs have been made available by FCI - and you can definitely grab one of them, if you prepare seriously for the written exam. In this article I am going to discuss  about Preparation materials , Books and previous year paper for FCI Assistant Grade-III Exam 2015. 

Date of FCI Assistant Grade-III Exam 2015 has still not been decided and hence it is the best time to start your preparation. Early bird gets the worm, is not it?

Pattern of FCI Assistant Grade-III Exam 2015:

If you are apply for the Assistant Grade-III posts then there are lot of question comes to your mind like -- Which and how many papers you have to appear in this FCI exam, what type of Question comes , Syllabus of FCI exam. The exam pattern given in the notification makes that very confusing, specially as it is being held for many other posts, besides the Assistant Grade-III.

For AG-III (General) or AG-III (Depot) there is only one exam paper - Paper-I.But if you are targeting AG-III (Accounts) or AG-III (Technical), you have to appear in two papers - Paper-I and Paper-II. 

Paper-I is a General Aptitude paper and Paper-II is a Technical paper.Paper-II is specific to the post you are applying for. For example, Paper-II for AG-III (Accounts) would contain questions on Commerce while the same paper for AG-III (Technical) would contain questions on Biological Sciences.
In each of these two papers, there are 120 questions, each worth 1 mark, which has to be answered within the duration of 1-1/2 hour (i.e. 90 minutes).
FCI in its notification has not said what are the sections within the General Aptitude paper But as expected its very similar to the IBPS Bank PO CWE exam
