Preparation strategy — focus on CBT-2 trade content

CBT-1 is qualifying — most ITI/Diploma candidates clear it with focused 6-8 week prep on Maths + Reasoning + GS + GA. The merit battle is fought in CBT-2 where the Trade-relevant content section (25 marks) dominates ranking. For Grade-I Signal candidates, the Electronics + Computer section is the largest scoring lever. Use the previous CEN 02/2018 Technician papers + IES Diploma-level questions for trade-section prep.
