The question paper had four parts: Quantitative Aptitude (Maths), Reasoning (general
intelligence), English Language and General Knowledge (GK). Most of the students felt
that exam was easy but the server for the online exam was slow leading to lots of time
getting wasted in the questions being loaded to their computer.

“The English and the Maths sections are pretty doable. Candidates s2017cglhould
attempt 18 to 20 questions. Most candidates attempt at least 20 questions. The same
goes for the Reasoning section,”
