Typical Online Test Pattern

Based on recent sources, a common pattern for fresher recruitment is:

  • Sections: Quantitative Aptitude, Logical/Reasoning, Verbal Ability (English), Technical / Computer Fundamentals, and (for some roles) Coding. 

  • Approximate question / time breakdown:

    • Quantitative Aptitude: ~ 15 questions, ~ 15 minutes. 

    • Logical/Reasoning: ~ 15 questions, ~ 15 minutes. 

    • Verbal Ability: ~ 15 questions, ~ 15 minutes. 

    • Technical / Computer Fundamentals (for IT roles): ~ 30 questions, ~ 30 minutes. 

    • Coding (for selected roles): ~ 2 questions, ~ 20 minutes. 

  • Total time: Typically around 90-100 minutes for full online test. For example, one pattern lists 77 questions in 95 minutes. 

  • Section-wise timing: Each section may have its own time block; you cannot always move freely between sections. 

  • No negative marking: Many drives report no negative marking for wrong answers.


What’s Tested

  • Quantitative Aptitude: Topics like time & work, percentages, ratio & proportion, number systems, profit/loss, geometry etc. 

  • Logical/Reasoning: Puzzles, seating/arrangements, coding-decoding, series, data sufficiency, directional sense. 

  • Verbal/English Ability: Grammar (sentence correction, fill-in‐blanks), vocabulary (synonyms/antonyms), reading comprehension, para-jumbles. 

  • Technical/Computer Fundamentals: For IT/engineering roles: basics of programming (C, C++, Java, Python), data structures, OOPs, OS, DBMS, networking. 

  • Coding: For roles with a coding component: actual coding problems (in one of the allowed languages) with logic, data structures, simple algorithms. 


Key Preparation Tips

  • Build speed and accuracy, since the sections are time-limited.

  • For quantitative and reasoning sections: practise topics like number series, puzzles, geometry, ratio, time & work, etc.

  • For verbal: brush up grammar, vocabulary, reading comprehension.

  • For technical/coding roles: pick a language you’re comfortable with and practise data structures and algorithms; review basics of OS, DBMS, networking.

  • Take mock tests under timed conditions to simulate the actual exam.

  • Read the specific drive’s notification for any special variation (for example, non-coding roles might skip the coding section).
