Housing Board AE (Electrical): revision and mock plan till 21 January 2027
The Housing Board Assistant Engineer exam (Cat. No. 044/2026) is on 21 January 2027. If you have finished the syllabus once, the next ten weeks decide your rank. This is the plan we follow with our own Housing Board AE batch, laid out so you can follow it too. Download the full study plan (PDF, Malayalam), or watch it explained below.
The plan in three stages
| When | What |
|---|---|
| December 1 to 30 | Revise ten subjects, three days each, with a subject test after each one |
| December 31 to January 2 | Three focus days on the questions you got wrong |
| January 3 to 20 | Six full mock exams, one every three days, each followed by answer discussion and practice |
December: ten subjects, ten tests
| Dates | Subject | Main topics |
|---|---|---|
| Dec 1–3 | Communication | AM and FM, receivers, entropy and channel capacity, random processes, PCM, DPCM, digital modulation, optimum receivers |
| Dec 4–6 | Electrical Circuits and Networks | Node and mesh analysis, network theorems, transients, resonance, two-port networks, three-phase circuits, complex power |
| Dec 7–9 | Electromagnetic Fields and Magnetic Circuits | Gauss's law, capacitance, Ampère's and Faraday's laws, magnetic circuits, self and mutual inductance |
| Dec 10–12 | Analog Electronics | Diode circuits, biasing, amplifiers, feedback, oscillators, op-amps, Schmitt trigger, 555 timer |
| Dec 13–15 | Digital Electronics | Combinational logic, multiplexers, flip-flops, counters, sample-and-hold, A/D and D/A converters |
| Dec 16–18 | Power Electronics | Switching devices, DC–DC converters, rectifiers, harmonics and power factor, inverters, sinusoidal PWM |
| Dec 19–21 | Signals and Systems | LTI systems, Fourier series and transform, sampling, Laplace and Z transforms |
| Dec 22–24 | Control Systems | Transfer functions, signal flow graphs, time response, stability, Bode plot, root locus, compensators, PID, state space |
| Dec 25–27 | Electrical Power Systems | Transmission lines and cables, load flow, economic dispatch, voltage and frequency control, faults, protection, stability |
| Dec 28–30 | Electrical Machines | Transformer tests and connections, DC machines, induction motors, synchronous machines, parallel operation |
On the third day of each subject, take a test on it the same day. Keep every wrong answer in one notebook. That notebook is your study material for the focus days.
Topic lists are summaries. Check them against the official syllabus on the Housing Board AE page.
Three focus days
- December 31: go through all ten subject tests. Redo every question you got wrong, and mark the subjects that still need work.
- January 1: formulas and numericals, such as AM power, FM deviation and channel capacity.
- January 2: previous years' questions from all ten subjects, against the clock. Check your answers and your time.
January: six full mocks
| Mock | Date | Follow-up |
|---|---|---|
| Mock 1 | January 3 | Answer discussion on 4th, practice on 5th |
| Mock 2 | January 6 | Discussion on 7th, practice on 8th |
| Mock 3 | January 9 | Discussion on 10th, practice on 11th |
| Mock 4 | January 12 | Discussion on 13th, practice on 14th |
| Mock 5 | January 15 | Discussion on 16th, practice on 17th |
| Mock 6 | January 18 | Discussion on 19th, final revision on 20th |
Each mock covers all ten subjects for 100 marks, with negative marking, in one sitting. The day after is for the mistakes, not for new topics.
Exam day: 21 January 2027
Confirm the date and your admission ticket on your Kerala PSC profile. Sleep well on the 20th; the revision is done.
Follow this plan with us
Our Housing Board AE batch runs this plan with live classes, recordings of every class, the subject tests and the six mocks. You can join in three ways:
- Revision and mocks only: the December revision, the ten subject tests and the six January mocks.
- Extra portions only: classes for just the Housing Board portions that KSEB and PWD AE do not cover, Communication and some electronics, for Electrical graduates.
- Textbooks only: our printed Housing Board AE textbooks, available on their own.
- The full batch.
