What is EKT Exams?

I had an EKT(Engineering Knowledge Test) last Sunday (27/April), the test was not much tough. But before this test I was not knowing about anything about the exam the paper style, syllabus, etc..

There are lots of people like me who wants to know about the exam before facing it so we can prepare or at least see the topics covered in exam, I was not able to find any resource regarding this on net so I thought let me write this post so it might be helpful to the peoples who really want to get prepared for EKT.

What I am going to write below is only from my 1st exam experience of EKT, so scheme or question style may differ for upcoming exams but it helps at least to understand an EKT experience.
