Another candidate, Shreya Mukherjee, said that other than the DILR section, others were balanced and easy. “There are a total of 76 questions, with equal weighting for all sections, VARC-26, QA-26, DILR-24. The difficulty level of the VARC section is high followed by DILR, while the QA section is quite easy. The QA section consists of 10 questions from modern mathematics, 8 from algebra, measurement-2, and arithmetic of rest, ”said Shreya.

Philip Thomas, Product Manager at TIME Bangalore, reviewed the article so easily compared to the previous year. “The first section, VRC, was as tough as last year, while the how many and verbal skill sections were comparatively easier. It may be due to COVID, the sections were kept at a level where someone with basic knowledge could also solve a couple of questions. This could increase the cutoff value. As for the sections, the limit of verbal ability will remain the same, while for the break in two sections it could be higher than last year, ”said the director of TIME Bangalore.
