Data Interpretation
As expected, this section was but difficult. There were question sets from :-No question from Probability or percentages as in previous papers. Be prepared for a difficult DI section.
Reasoning
As expected there was no verbal reasoning. There was a round table sitting arrangement question. If you haven't solve round table questions ever, then it's right time to do this. There was a set from puzzles and rankings.English
English was fairly easy. There were two passages, difficulty level was fairly easy. Nothing new, same spotting errors, fill in the blanks and para jumbles.Marketing section
This section was very easy. As I told in my previous posts, there is no need to read a full book for this section. That's why I released a 56 pages ebook. More than 80% of the questions were from this book.Computer section
This section was really easy. There were questions from computer basics, computer devices, computer networks and internet technologies. Again our ebook is more than sufficient for this section.Descriptive Paper

It was a bit lengthy paper. DI section took lots of time. Those who attempted DI at first wasted lot of time on this section in hope of solving 40+. Reality is that cutoff is going to be lower then previous year.Ideal attempt and Expected Cutoff
