Sectional Cut-offs: No but need to have some minimum score in all section

Section 1: Verbal Ability and Reading comprehension. (40 questions)

The section was a lot vocabulary driven with questions of vocab present even in RC.The section comprised of only one passage (containing 15 questions)  and most of the questions were direct and there were five questions of antonyms and synonyms of words used in RC. There was a cloze test with 10 fill in the blanks and some of the blanks were ambiguous as more than one answer seemed to be correct. 5 questions on grammar and 5 questions on vocabulary were there which were very simple and could be done very quickly. There was a Para jumble with 5 questions on it and this was the only speed breaker in this section. The section would have proved very lucrative with a reasonably good command over vocabulary as the vocabulary based questions demanded more of absolute understanding of the word meanings. Overall the section should have proved a cake walk for one who has a good vocabulary. An attempt of 34+ questions can be considered a good one and a net score of 25+ a good score.

Section 2: Intelligence and Logical Reasoning (50 questions)

This section was easy but time consuming. Specially the 5 questions on functions were lengthy and even syllogisms were a bit tricky. There were 10 questions based on coding and decoding , 5 on decision making 5 DS questions 5 on circular arrangement which were comparatively easy. Questions on blood-relations and arrangements of alphabets and numbers were there that needed a lot of concentration while solving. An ideal attempt in this section would be 35+ with a good score of 29+.

Section 3: Quantitative Ability and DI (60 questions)

Quantitative ability section was very similar to the last year’s paper. This section needed a lot of calculation. 15 to 20 questions were there on bodmas where some were sitters and some needed intense calculations. The speed breaker in this section was 5 questions based on series wherein we had to find the wrong number in the given series.4 sets of DI with 5 questions each were there which were simple but again calculative. So overall in this section one with a good speed and accuracy would have been able to attempt more questions. An ideal attempt in this section would be 48+ with a good score of 40+.

 This section would be a decisive one in setting the cut-offs as almost all the variety of questions that tested one’s logic were asked. There were only 2 sets of three questions and rest all were independent questions, Hence it was time consuming. Couple of questions tested the knowledge of laws of physics which was a novelty in logic section.
