English Language
Reading Comprehension, Grammar, Foreign Words/Phrase, Para-jumbles, Vocabulary, Spellings, Inference-based questions, Synonyms, Antonyms, Word Usage, and Fill in the blanks. The level of difficulty is medium, and it should be a high-scoring section.
Current Affairs & General Knowledge
The questions asked in the GK section are from two domains: Static GK and Current GK. Static GK includes questions from History, Geography, Civics, etc., while Current GK covers major events in the news for the past year. Major topics include:
- International events
- UN bodies’ Major developments in sports, geopolitics, and important environmental agreements
- Eminent personalities, sports, awards, and honours
Logical Reasoning
The Logical Reasoning section has a fair mix of Puzzles, Directions, Seating Arrangements, Blood Relations, Syllogisms, Series, Analogy, etc. The paper also includes a few questions of Critical Reasoning. This section is fairly simple and should boost the marks of reasonably well-prepared students. Legal principles may be used in the logical reasoning section to test logical aptitude, but the examination will not require any legal knowledge or technical understanding.
