Exam Pattern

The pattern typically consists of several sections, often in this order: aptitude (quantitative, logical reasoning, verbal), writing/communication, coding (for technical roles), followed by interviews.
Here’s a common breakdown:

  • Aptitude Section (Quantitative + Logical + Verbal) ~ 48 minutes. 

  • Written Communication Test (Essay / short writing) ~ 20 minutes. 

  • Coding Test (for technical roles) ~ 60 minutes, typically 2 questions. 

  • Total time for the online test may go up to ~ 128 minutes in some recent drives. 

  • No negative marking in many cases. 

Section-wise details

Here are approximate numbers of questions & timings (based on recent pattern updates):

  • Quantitative Aptitude: ~ 16 questions, ~ 16 minutes. 

  • Logical Reasoning: ~ 14 questions, ~ 14 minutes. 

  • Verbal Ability (English): ~ 18-22 questions, ~ 18 minutes. 

  • Written Communication: 1 essay, ~ 20 minutes. 

  • Coding (for technical/Project Engineer role): 2 questions, ~ 60 minutes. 

What’s tested

  • Quantitative: Basic & applied mathematics (percentage, ratio, time & work, number systems, geometry, etc) 

  • Logical Reasoning: Puzzles, series, seating arrangements, data sufficiency, deductive/inductive reasoning 

  • Verbal Ability: Reading comprehension, grammar, vocabulary, sentence correction, error spotting. 

  • Written Communication: Essay/paragraph writing on general/technical topic. 

  • Coding: For technical roles: data structures & algorithms (arrays, strings, linked lists, sorting/searching), and writing code in languages such as C/C++, Java, Python. 

Key points & preparation tips

  • The test is section-wise timed, so you’ll need good speed and accuracy for each section.

  • Since coding is only for certain roles, if you’re applying for non-coding track, your focus may lean more on aptitude, reasoning and communication.

  • Practice mock tests covering all sections in the given time frame.

  • For the coding part: pick one language you’re comfortable with (e.g., Java or C++) and practice along data structures/algorithms.

  • For essay writing: practise writing clear, structured paragraphs on typical topics (e.g., technology in society, role of IT, current affairs) within the time limit.

  • Keep in mind: While the norms above are typical, the actual notification for your drive might specify slight variations (number of questions, time, sections) — always refer to that.
