Section-Wise Analysis
Section I: General English
The pattern of this section was more or less same as it was in the previous year. There were no surprise elements this year except one or two critical reasoning based questions where one of them was based on finding the contradiction in the question. Both the slots had almost same pattern & distribution of questions except few changes. For example in second shift there were one or two questions on spellings. The English section was primarily dominated by Vocabulary & Grammar-based questions. The grammar questions were based on identification of parts of speech, fill in the blanks (5), Voice & Speech, etc. The vocabulary questions were based on Antonyms, synonyms, Idioms, and Prefix/Roots, compound word & Proverbs. 1-2 questions were based on Sentence & Word Ordering.
The overall feel of this section was easy.
Good Attempt: 12-14questions
Section II: Analytical & Logical Reasoning
The difficulty level of this section was moderate. The section included questions on Blood Relations, Numeric Series, Alphanumeric Series, Syllogism, Calendar and Binary Logic. There were around 3-4 linear arrangement sets having one or two questions each. In this section there were around 6-8 questions based on verbal & critical reasoning, such as Assumption, Arguments, Inference /Conclusion, Cause & Effect, course of action, etc. The questions based on Verbal Reasoning were easy except one or two questions based on cause-effect. Only the right selection of questions would have played a key role in maximizing the attempts.
Overall feel of the section was easy to moderate.
Good Attempt: 18-20 questions.
Section III: Quantitative Aptitude, Data Interpretation & DS
The student found this section easy this time. There was one question each of clock (reflex angle), SI / CI (Difference of two years given), TSD (Trains), P and C (Arrangement keeping vowel together), Average (Ages) and logarithm (Basic operation) .There were two questions on Mensuration (Based on cylinder and Area of path) also. There were questions on Work and Pipes, Probability, Algebra, Numbers and Mixture. The students reported no question on DI this time. Except one or two questions, rests were easy and manageable this time .Further, using options wisely would have played a key role in maximizing the score in this section.
Overall, the feel of the section was easy to moderate.
