There were Four RC passages of medium length of 4 questions each. The break-up of other questions was Para jumbles- 3, Para Summary - 3, and a new category of questions was introduced wherein fill-in-the-blanks were given in the para, and students had to select the best-fit sentence to fill them which had 2 questions. There was a total of 3 TITA questions from para jumbles. There were no TITA questions in RC.

Data Interpretation and Logical Reasoning: As with this section last year, the section was most difficult. There were a total of 4 sets - 5 questions each. There were no pure DI Based sets. Blocks were AR based on scenarios like Hockey Game: Goals & Score, Train: Schedule, Routes, Judges Interviews, Tokens, Venn Diagram based: Get-together planning. Very few students could attempt more than 2 sets.

Quantitative Aptitude Review: The Quant section was moderately easier. The majority of the typical topics like Profit & Loss, TSD, Time & Work, and Alligation were fairly represented. There was one question from Geometry based on trapezium. Nearly 4 questions were from the Permutation and combinations and Venn diagrams. The number of questions from Algebra and arithmetic was high. Overall the quant section was doable. However, like last year the questions were time-consuming even though the level of difficulty was not high. The ideal strategy was to skip the questions which seemed difficult at the first go and focus on the easy ones.
