There were 25 questions in General Knowledge consisting of Static GK-based questions covering Books, Geography, art forms of states, History, etc., and Current Questions based on Science and Technology, Economic Data and General terms, etc. The level of this section was moderate. Since there was no negative marking in this section so by using guesswork or by elimination of options, one could have gotten 6-7 questions correct in addition to what one knew actually.

Good Attempt: 12-14

Section V- Essay Writing

The students have to select one topic from two given topics. One of the topics was ‘capitalism and democracy cannot co-exist and another was ‘In management, we do not need people who have never experienced setbacks. Such people are highly risk averse because business schools mainly focus on stellar academic achievements during admissions, and the selected students turn out to be average managers’. The essays required critical reasoning to analyze the topics. However, both topics were easy in terms of understanding them and then reflecting on them in writing.
