The questions in the English section were in the easier range and one could attend questions according to the time strategy set by the aspirants for the exams. In Reading comprehension 2 sets were asked.

In the GENERAL AWARENESS and the COMPUTER AWARENESS sections questions were asked in the easy to moderate range and in the general awareness section , most questions were asked based on those recent current affairs news with reference to banking and static GK questions were limited in numbers and we cannot afford to neglect them as a awhole. The easies one among all is the computer awareness section and one could have scored more marks in this section.

While taking the overall cutoff marks and the questions asked into consideration , the level of questions asked in the examination is in the easier range and in some topics it was moderate – difficult and the latter was only meager percentage when compared to the former. So a keep observation will suggest a best startegy that , if a aspirant needs to clear the mains exam , the aspirant has to attend maximum qiestions with high accuracy. Since General awarreness and Computer awareness are there , one could easily get half that marks in these section itself and also try to obtain somewhat higher than the requireed minimum cutoff in other categories.

The best startegy to clear the exa according to the standards set by the recent exams , miscellaneous questions play a major in deciding the mains examination and you could expect the same in the forthcomingg examination.

We have also included a free mock test for the aspirants to check how they would fare in the exams, if you haven’t attended that , please attend it , by clicking the below link.
