The candidates should have checked the below mentioned syllabus which includes the topics and questions types.

Section-A: Analytical Ability

Data Sufficiency

1. A question is given followed by data in the form of two statements labelled as (I) and (II).
2. If the data given in (I) alone is sufficient to answer the question then choice (1) is the correct answer.
3. If both (I) and (II) put together are sufficient to answer the question but neither statement alone is sufficient, then choice (3) is the correct answer.
4. If both (I) and (II) put together are not sufficient to answer the question and additional data is needed, then choice (4) is the correct answer.

Problem Solving

1. Sequence and series: Analogies of number and alphabet, completing of blank spaces following the pattern in a:b::c:d relationship; odd thing out: missing number in a sequence or series.
2. Data Analysis: The data given in a table, graph, bar diagram, pie chart, venn diagram or a passage is to be analysed and the questions pertaining to the data are to be answered.
3. Coding and Decoding Problems: A code pattern of the English alphabet is given. A given word or a group of letters are to be coded or decoded based on the given code or codes.
4. Date, time & arrangement problem: Calendar problems, clock problems, blood relationships, arrivales, departures and schedules, seating arrangements, symbol and notation interpretation.
