3) Section-III : Logical Reasoning - 35

4) Section-IV : Quantitative Aptitude - 35

The qualifying marks for this exam is kept 30% for SC/ST candidates whereas 40% for others. That means, 45 marks for SC/ST & 60 marks for others. But the expected average score is 70 - 95 because the negative marking was @0.5 for each wrong response. 


GENERAL KNOWLEDGE : Difficult

If we try to give ratings as a candidate, the question level was of "Difficult" Category. If a candidate does not have depth knowledge on the subject matter, then choosing option will be so difficult for him. As per response collected from different candidates  12-18 marks is the average score among them. 

The questions were from all sectors like World/India Geography, Modern History, Constitution committees, Indian Economy, Defense System, Olympics, Books etc. But exact information from the given options can be chosen only by those candidates having a good practice and real-time updates. 


GENERAL ENGLISH : Medium

If we try to give ratings as a candidate, the question level was of "Medium" Category. 

Maximum candidates have skipped 10 marks assigned for two passages. To save time for other section questions, they have skipped these parts. Out of rest 30 questions, one can secure 15 marks easily, if he/she has basic knowledge. But as a whole, 15-20 marks are expected in average. 

The questions were from preposition (3), Article (4), Direct Indirect speech (1), spelling (1), meaning (4), punctuation (2), Correct Sentence (5), Synonym (5) and Opposite (5). 


LOGICAL REASONING : Very Easy

If we try to give ratings as a candidate, the question level was of " Very Easy" Category. 

Almost all questions can be attempted by a average standard student without any preparation also. 

Except, a figure (series category) and another logic (+-÷×) question, rest 33 questions were very easy. These questions also take less time to be solved. Hence, one can secure 33 marks, if time management is good. But average score from all is expected from 25-30.


 QUANTITATIVE APTITUDE : Easy

If we try to give ratings as a candidate, the question level was of "Easy" Category. 

All questions were of traditional Aptitude and Algebraic type. But few questions take more time for calculation. But if one have revised RS Agrawal Book atleast once, then this question pattern is easy for him. One can secure 30 marks easily but in average major candidates have not got enough time to cover this part. Hence, the average expected score is 20-25.
