On the whole the level of the test was tough. The important factor was selection of appropriate questions to attempt. The quant section was tougher than reasoning section in this test. Verbal section was tough in this test. 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 Cleantech 1.0 had failed because investors had underestimated the physical, financial, and scalability challenges of industrial innovation, while Cleantech 2.0’s success had depended on whether AI-driven simulations could genuinely reduce those risks rather than repeat earlier technological hubris. The passage was slightly tricky and questions based it were also moderate. The second passage (8-11) explained that Hilbert’s sixth problem had inspired efforts to axiomatize physics, and that Deng, Hani, and Ma had advanced this goal by rigorously unifying microscopic, mesoscopic, and macroscopic models of fluid dynamics while also revealing the continuing difficulty of establishing a universal foundation for all physical theories. The passage was slightly difficult and all the questions based on it were moderate except Q9, which was easy. The third passage (13-16) explained that string theory and quantum mechanics had challenged classical ideas of time, particles, gravity, and reality by portraying the universe as a dynamic, higher-dimensional field of vibrating strings and probabilistic states shaped by observation. The passage was difficult to understand and questions based on it were moderate. The fourth passage (21-24) argued that Dilenschneider had presented character as a lifelong practice built through leadership, integrity, courage, resilience, innovation, loyalty, transparency, and self-awareness, which had enabled individuals to resist distraction, overcome adversity, and create an enduring ethical legacy. The questions based on it were a mixed bag. The questions (6 & 20) based on misfit were moderate. The questions (7 & 17) based on best-fit were moderate. The questions (1 & 12) based on summary were moderate. The questions (18 & 19) based on sentence rearrangement were moderate and difficult respectively. Overall feel of the section was tough. However, one could have easily scored 90+ percentile by attempting 14-16 questions with 75-80% accuracy.
The difficulty level of DI was moderate. There were 5 easy, 10 medium and 7 difficult questions in this section. The two blocks (Mona has a play way. She has eight children in one batch and Six friends A, B, C, D, E and F went to a fair. Each of them purchased a different DIY craft kit from the fair) were easy and were must do and by attempting a couple of questions from rest of the blocks, one could have fetched a very good percentile.
In this section, one could have fetched 90+ percentile by attempting 8-10 questions with approx. 80 % accuracy.
Students found this section slightly difficult than DI this time. The Quantitative section had 1 easy, 11 medium and 10 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 (Percentages/Time and Work/Mixtures/Percentages/SI-CI/Ratios).
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 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.
