Section 1: Verbal and Logical Reasoning
The breakup of the Verbal Ability and Reading Comprehension segments is as below:
A) VERBAL ABILITY
| Area | No of Questions | Difficulty Level |
|---|---|---|
| Identifying Grammatically incorrect sentences | 1 | Easy |
| Fill in the Blanks (3/4 blanks to be filled in a very short paragraph) | 1 | Moderate |
| Paragraph Formation (5-sentence para jumbles on Education and Coding) | 2 | Difficult |
| Critical Reasoning on weakening/Conclusion/Supporting/Inference | 5 | Moderate |
| Correct usage of Punctuation | 2 | Moderate |
| Para-completion | 1 | Moderate |
The Verbal Ability segment had a total of 12 questions
The four Critical Reasoning questions needed some time to crack but were not undoable.
Paragraph Formation were difficult this year too.
The Punctuation questions introduced afresh this year were not much of an issue and well-read students could have figured them out without investing too much time.
B) Reading Comprehension
There were four RC passages, with three questions each, and one poem with two questions.
| Area | No of Questions | Difficulty Level | Length |
|---|---|---|---|
| Poem on 'Three Persons BY VIJAY SESHADRI" | 2 | Moderate | Around 175 words |
| RC Passage on “Global warming” | 3 | Moderate | Around 375 words |
| RC Passage on "Freud & Marx" | 3 | Difficult | Around 300 words |
| RC Passage on "Procrastination" | 3 | Difficult | Around 300 words |
| RC Passage on "Storytelling " | 3 | Moderate | Around 450 words |
The first poem was not very difficult to read. However, with only two questions from it compared to three from the passages, it would have been tempting to go for the passages first. However, the length of the poem works in its favour, pulling students towards it. Not so tough content of the poem did work in the favour of the students.
Two of the passages were clearly tougher than the other two. The one on Freud and Marx and another on Procrastination were clearly jumping out as difficult, making it easy for students to choose the other two passages to start with.
Overall, the difficulty level of the section was similar to that of the last year.
