On the whole the level of the test was moderate to tough. The important factor was selection of appropriate questions to attempt. The quant section was slightly easier than reasoning 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 (2-5) argued that digital surveillance had transformed privacy into a continuous struggle to preserve personal autonomy against pervasive data collection, profiling, manipulation, and institutional control. The passage was moderate in terms of understanding but questions based on it were difficult. The second passage (7-10) argued that wildlife conservation had needed to protect not only species and ecosystems but also the physical and psychological welfare of individual animals affected by human activities. It was an interesting read and all the questions based on it were either difficult or moderate except Q10, which was easy. The third passage (12-15) argued that Khajuraho’s sculptures had presented desire, spirituality, and embodied human experience as interconnected aspects of existence, offering a powerful contrast to the fragmented and algorithmically controlled identity of the digital age. The passage was slightly tricky and all the questions based on it were either moderate or difficult except Q12, which was easy. The fourth passage (21-24) explained that industrialised farming, food processing, changing occupations, and rising incomes had transformed Indian diets, flavours, cooking practices, and social routines, creating mixed feelings because food had become more convenient and hygienic but was often perceived as less natural, nourishing, and tasty. The questions based on it were either easy or moderate. The questions (6 & 19) based on best fit were difficult and moderate respectively. The questions (11 & 20) based on sentence rearrangement were moderate. The questions (1 & 18) based on summary were moderate and easy respectively. The questions (16 & 17) based on misfit were moderate. Overall, feel of the section was moderate to tough. However one could have easily scored 90+ percentile by attempting 16-18 questions with 70-75% accuracy.
The difficulty level of DI was moderate. There were 6 easy, 12medium and 4 difficult questions in this section. The two blocks (In the Head Office of a Multinational Company, there were total 500 employee AND Magic square is a square array of numbers) were easy 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 7 easy, 11 medium and 4 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, and Arithmetic. A good student could have scored 90+ percentile by attempting around 8-10 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, 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.
