Sub Engineer Electrical Test Electrical Engineering chapter frequency table
All 8 Electrical Engineering chapters on the Sub Engineer Electrical Test syllabus, heaviest first. The subtopics under each chapter name are the ones it is most often examined on.
| # | Chapter | Est. MCQs | Share of Electrical Engineering | Priority |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Electrical Machines | 23.6 | 33.8% | Critical |
| 2 | Electronics and Devices | 16.9 | 24.1% | Critical |
| 3 | Circuit Analysis | 8.8 | 12.5% | Important |
| 4 | Power Systems | 7.4 | 10.6% | Important |
| 5 | Power Electronics | 5.6 | 8.0% | Standard |
| 6 | Measurement and Instrumentation | 3.5 | 5.0% | Standard |
| 7 | Wiring, Installation and Safety | 2.6 | 3.7% | Standard |
| 8 | Control Systems | 1.6 | 2.3% | Standard |
How this was worked out: No solved paper we hold examines Electrical Engineering, so nothing here is counted from past papers. The 70 Electrical Engineering MCQs on the Sub Engineer Electrical Test paper are spread across the chapters in proportion to how much material each chapter carries in the syllabus. Use it as a study order, not as a prediction, and check the conducting body's own syllabus for the final word.

Sub Engineer Electrical Test Electrical Engineering most important topics: frequently asked questions
What are the most important Electrical Engineering topics for Sub Engineer Electrical Test 2026?
The highest-value Sub Engineer Electrical Test Electrical Engineering chapters are Electrical Machines (about 23.6 MCQs), Electronics and Devices (about 16.9 MCQs), Circuit Analysis (about 8.8 MCQs), Power Systems (about 7.4 MCQs) and Power Electronics (about 5.6 MCQs). Together they account for 89 percent of the 70 Electrical Engineering MCQs on the Sub Engineer Electrical Test paper. The ranking is derived rather than counted from Sub Engineer Electrical Test papers; the method is stated in full on this page.
How many Electrical Engineering MCQs are on the Sub Engineer Electrical Test paper?
Electrical Engineering is worth 70 MCQs on the Sub Engineer Electrical Test paper as set by Public Service Commissions, spread across 8 chapters. This page ranks all 8 of them by how many of those MCQs each chapter is worth.
Are these Sub Engineer Electrical Test Electrical Engineering numbers counted from past papers?
No. No solved paper on TestUstad examines Electrical Engineering, so nothing here is a count. The 70 Electrical Engineering MCQs on the Sub Engineer Electrical Test paper are spread across the chapters in proportion to how much material each chapter carries in the syllabus. Treat it as a sensible study order and confirm against Public Service Commissions's own syllabus.
Should I skip the low-priority Electrical Engineering chapters for Sub Engineer Electrical Test?
No. Every chapter in this table appears on the Sub Engineer Electrical Test paper, and Sub Engineer Electrical Test is decided by a handful of marks. A chapter marked Standard still costs you the marks you drop on it. Use this ranking to decide the order you study in and how long you spend on each chapter, not to cut chapters out.
Where can I practise these Sub Engineer Electrical Test Electrical Engineering chapters?
Every chapter on this page links to its own free Electrical Engineering MCQs on TestUstad, 3,143 questions across the 8 chapters Sub Engineer Electrical Test examines. Practice is free and unlimited with no account, and every question carries a written explanation of why the correct option is correct.
