Logical Reasoning

This was arguably the easiest section in the examination, with almost all the questions very straightforward and less time-consuming. Apart from analytical reasoning and critical reasoning-based questions, there was also a good representation of non-verbal reasoning-based questions. Almost all the questions could be easily solved within a minute. There were a few questions that involved the usage of basic mathematics, too.

Verbal Reasoning

The questions were pretty straightforward. The RC passages were from diverse themes ( socio culture, history, science ). The questions under RC were mostly direct in nature, and only a couple of questions were inference-based. The questions based on Parajumbles were of a moderate difficulty level, whereas Grammar-based questions can be classified as easy.
