Verbal Logic: There were 5 questions based on syllogism like statements and conclusion implicit statement type, Five questions were set on statement and assumption type. The remaining five questions were based on definitely true and probable false type.
Logical Reasoning:
-
Symbol-based type: 5 questions were asked where symbols were required to be replaced by operator.
-
Alphanumeric series: Five questions of medium-level difficulty were based on a series with alphabets, numbers and symbols. Five questions were asked on Number Series, out of which three were quite difficult and the remaining two were easy. These questions involved finding the wrong term in a series.
-
Letter/ Number coding set: Five questions were asked on the letter coding by a number.
-
Letter/ Number coding set: Five questions were asked on the letter coding by a number.
-
Data Sufficiency: Five questions in all, most of which were based on Reasoning.
-
Blood Relations: Five questions, similar to the ones in our MCET-Mock.
-
English letter/ Vowel Replacement: There were 3 questions of this type where vowels were required to be replaced to complete the word meaning. Two questions were on word analogy.
-
Analytical Reasoning: One set of 5 questions on analytical reasoning, which was based on 7 people and their professions as well as cities. It was quite an easy set to solve.
-
Letter / Symbol/ Number Arrangement: Five questions based on letter and number arrangement.
-
Miscellaneous – Five questions in all: Three were based on circular sitting arrangement, two row arrangements. There were seven questions on coding – decoding of words or sentences.
-
The remaining two questions were on height and average (like shorter/ taller). One question was on dissimilar types from others.
Visual Reasoning:
There were
5 questions in which the middle figure was missing and 10 questions were based
on analogies, 10 questions involved series, while 5 were based on series
completion.
All in all, a score of 140+ will suffice to get into JBIMS. If you have
notched up 132+, then you have a very decent chance of getting into
Sydneham, KJ Somaiya and Wellingkars. And anything above 120+ should get
you to SIES, Chetana, MET and PUMBA. All these marks involve an implicit
assumption that you score any thing between 28 and 32 in GD/PI round.
There were a number of questions similar to Mock CETs and FLTs (e.g 7 questions of visual reasoning , 3 questions of quantitative comparison, 4 questions on blood relations, 5 questions of probability, 5 questions on analytical reasoning, 2 questions of Data sufficiency).
