On the whole the level of the test was moderate to tough. The important factor was selection of appropriate questions to attempt. The reasoning section was tougher than quant section in this test. Verbal section was moderate to tough. One peculiar thing in this paper was that there were clusters of easy, moderate and difficult questions, so one had to skip the difficult cluster and to move to easy & medium level cluster quickly. The key to getting a good percentile was time management and selection of questions.
The first passage (1-4) argued that technology alone could not save humanity, because real progress depended on ethical, political, and ecological wisdom as well. The passage was difficult to understand and questions based on it were either moderate or difficult except Q2, which was easy. The second passage (7-10) based on the book ‘The Sovereignty of the Soil, where Thapar deconstructed the Eurocentric narrative of the modern environmental crisis, tracing its roots to colonial exploitation and advocating for the decolonisation of environmental discourse. The passage was an interesting but slightly tricky. The questions either moderate or difficult except Q7, which was easy. The third passage (13-16) critiques the growing reliance on plastics in India's agriculture, highlighting the environmental and health risks posed by plasticulture, such as soil degradation, microplastics contamination, and carcinogenic chemical leaching. The fourth passage (19-22) discusses how Sesame Street expanded globally and adapted its content, especially through Ahlan Simsim, to address the unique needs of children in humanitarian crises and conflict zones. The passage was manageable but question based on it were all moderate except Q19, which was easy. The questions (5 &12) based on best fit were moderate, The questions (6 & 24) based on finding summary were moderate. The questions (11 & 24) based on finding misfit were moderate. The questions (12 & 23) based on sentence rearrangement were difficult and moderate respectively. The overall feel of the section was moderate to tough. However, one could have scored 90+ percentile by attempting 17-19 questions with 70-75% accuracy.
The difficulty level of DI was tough. There were no easy questions this time. There were 17 medium and 5 difficult questions. The block (There were six employee (E1, E2, E3, E4, E5 and E6) working in a corporate training program& The following tables give information about 40 research scholars selected for a national fellowship program.) were manageable and should have been attempted. In this section, one could have fetched 90+ percentile by attempting 8-10 questions with approx. 80 % accuracy.
Students found this section moderate. The Quantitative section had 3 easy, 11 medium and 8 difficult questions. Selection of questions was important to crack this section. There were questions from varied topics like Geometry, Basic Numbers, Basic Algebra, Progression And Series, & Arithmetic. A good student could have scored 90+ percentile by attempting around 10-12 questions with approx. 80% accuracy.
The overall feel of the paper was moderate to tough, and for the students who knew how to manage the time available to the best i.e., not wasting much time in lengthy and difficult questions, could have easily managed an overall good attempt. Most of the questions in quant section were from Arithmetic, Algebra, Number system and Geometry. For verbal section, one should have good reading speed & comprehension skills as there were 4 RCs based on different areas and also a few questions based on other areas such as summary, best-fit, sentence rearrangement & odd one out. One must focus on contextual vocabulary to understand the key ideas and score well in passages & summary-based questions. Questions such as Best-fit, sentence rearrangement & misfit require analysis and knowledge of tricks to answer the questions.
