Aptitude:- Its simple one.. just go thru d RS AGGRAWAL.. for selected topics.. definitely u will crack it.. the cut-off would b aroud 50 %.

Q 1-5) this was a simple puzzle (just go thru d puzzle section of RS AGGRAWAL VERBAL N NONVERBAL )

Q 6-10) these r d figure problems .. very simple ones ...if u hv ever gone thru this kind of probs.. then i belive dat there is no need to practice for it .....ow do RS verbal n non verbal

Q 11-15) Data sufficiency problems ....refer RS AGGRAWAL QUANTATIVE . this is more than sufficient

Q 15-20) Data interpretation... EASY but leghty one.. attemp it in last ...

Q 20-25) problem on syllogism.. practise wid RS verbal n non verbal.

Q 25-30) it was another puzzle

English
It will b quite typical if u r not gud @ basic grammer ... ow its also simple one ..

Q1-5 n 6-10 ) in this section der r 2 RC'S which r simple ones but time consuming ..... so better to attemp them in last..

==> After that der were some question on Sentence Completion (8 questions)
