KWA OLD SYLLABUS
Syllabus of Previous KWA Overseer exam published by Kerala PSC.
The KWA 3rd GRADE OVERSEER Syllabus covers portions from Civil Engineering and Mechanical Engineering. As these Technical exams are equally meant for Mechanical and Civil Engineering candidates, which hold equal weightage for both subjects. KWA OVERSEER GRADE 2 syllabus is almost same as that of kwa overseer grade 3 syllabus
Normally a 50-50 weightage is expected, but it may vary slightly. However, those candidates who score maximum mark from their own stream and manage to score the crucial marks from other stream will be the winner in KWA exams.
Scoring from the basics will do the job for tracer exams. Anyway, happy learning and all the best wishes from Team Civilianz for your exam preparations!
