Welcome to Spardhaguru


1. Cognitive & Technical Assessment

This is typically the first combined round. According to recent data: 50 questions in Cognitive section + 40 questions in Technical section. 
Topics include:

  • Cognitive (English + Thinking/Reasoning):

    • English Ability: Grammar (prepositions, articles, tenses), Sentence Correction/Improvement, Reading Comprehension, Synonyms/Antonyms, Idioms & Phrases. 

    • Critical Reasoning / Problem-Solving: Arrangements (linear/circular), Blood Relations, Coding-Decoding, Syllogisms, Statement & Conclusion, Flowcharts. 

    • Abstract Reasoning: Visual reasoning, Number & Letter series, Odd-one-out, Analogies, Directional Sense, Seating arrangements. 

  • Technical Assessment:

    • Common Applications & MS Office: Word, Excel, PowerPoint, shortcuts, basic functions. 

    • Pseudocode / Programming logic: Basic constructs (loops, arrays, functions, conditionals) though not full coding. 

    • Fundamentals of Networking / Security / Cloud: Basic networking concepts, security threats, cloud fundamentals. 

2. Coding Round

For roles where programming is required, after the first assessment you’ll face a coding test.

  • Typically ~ 2-3 programming questions. 

  • Languages allowed: C, C++, Java, Python, .NET. 

  • Code logic topics: Input/output, loops, conditionals, arrays, strings, basic data structures. 

3. Communication Assessment

After you clear the above, there is often a communication-skills / verbal-fluency section.

  • Topics: Reading & listening comprehension, vocabulary, pronunciation/fluency, sentence building, storytelling. 

  • Duration ~ 20-30 minutes in many drives. 


⏱ Sample Pattern / Time & Question-Counts

  • Round 1: Cognitive + Technical Assessment (~90 minutes for ~90 questions) 

  • Round 2: Coding (~45-60 minutes for 2-3 questions) 

  • Round 3: Communication Assessment (~20 minutes) 


Key Preparation Tips

  • Focus on speed + accuracy: Many questions in the cognitive section are time-pressured (reasoning/puzzles) so practise for time.

  • For English/verbal: Strong grammar + vocabulary + reading skills matter.

  • For technical (if applicable): Even if the coding round is relatively small, your logic, clarity and foundation matter.

  • For communication assessment: Practise speaking clearly, building short stories, summarising, listening tasks.

  • Use mock tests that reflect the section-wise structure and timing (e.g., ~90 questions in ~90 minutes) so you’re accustomed to the flow.
