This time there were Objective Type (MCQ) questions only as announced by SIU. English section was easy as it hadvocabulary, grammar and sentence completion based questions. Analytical & Logical reasoning section was easy to moderate. This section was dominated by verbal reasoning, series and arrangement based questions. Quant section was moderate as there were a few questions based on probability and combination & permutation. This section was dominated by, modern mathematics, time speed distance and ratio & proportion. Overall time management and selection of questions will play a major role in clearing cut-off.

SECTIONAL – ANALYSIS

SECTION I: General English

Evaluation: This time the section did not have reading comprehension passages. Verbal section had conventional types of verbal questions ranging from grammar, vocabulary, identifying the usage of word, sentence correction, foreign words, and fill in the blanks.The level of this section was easy. The section was dominated by, vocabulary& sentence completion based questions. A few grammar based questions purely checked the fundamentals of grammar. There were questions based on idiomatic usage and parts of speech. There was also one partial para jumble question based on six sentences. The overall feel of the section was easy

Good Attempt: 11-13questions

SECTION II: Analytical & Logical Reasoning

Evaluation: The difficulty level of this section was easy to moderate. The section included questions on, coding/decoding,, blood relations, verbal reasoning syllogism, calendar, Input/output and missing number/letters. This section was dominated by verbal reasoning and series. There were 4 questions based on clock& calendars. The series question and coding were bit confusing but manageable. Overall feel of the section was easy to moderate.

Good Attempt: 18-20 questions.

SECTION III: Quantitative Aptitude, Data Interpretation & DS

Evaluation: This section was dominated by modern mathematics, time speed distance, ratio & proportion and number system. The questions based on permutation &combination and probability were a little tricky but manageable. Other topics like mensuration, geometry algebra, had 1 to 3 questions each and these topics tested the student’s grab of fundamental concept. Overall the feel of the section was moderate and selection of questions was important to get hold on the paper.

Good Attempt: 15-17 questions
