I appeared for SAIL MT exam on 14 July 2013 in vadodara the only exam centre in Gujarat and one among the seven centres in India.
All an all a good experience not much students appearing for exam in my class there were only seven candidates (the class strength was of 24 candidates).
Infact in one of the classes of mining engineering students there were only six candidates.
Technical Section:
Questions from networking like
Which command is used to check if net connection is active?
Which part of ip is used for subnetting?
Repeaters are part of which layer of networking?
Which address is permanently carved on NIC?

And like that but some were really stranger to me.
