This year the CET did throw a surprise. The surprise was that there were
more questions on Quantitative ability and Data Interpretation and less on
mathematical reasoning. As has been the tradition of CET, there were
maximum questions from Reasoning Section. Though the pattern was
slightly different from the last year’s paper, there was an appreciable
decrease in the difficulty level. The trick was to spot and solve all the easier
questions in the first one and half hour of the test so as to maximize the
overall attempt. Thus one could have solved Visual Reasoning during the
last half an hour of the test as one could have scored not much in this area as
the questions were really tough as well as time-consuming. The Verbal
Ability and Data Interpretation questions were the easiest and thus these two
sections were the “score-builders”. The following table gives the distribution
of the questions according to the section.
Number of
Sr. No Area Tested Difficulty Level
Questions
1 Visual Reasoning 30 Difficult
2 Mathematical Reasoning 12 Average
3 Analytical Reasoning 20 Easy
4 Logical Reasoning 5 Average
5 Inductive Reasoning 15 Average
Overall the paper was of average difficulty level; falling more on the
easier side. Overall top score should be 150+.
Expected written test score required for clearing the cut-off for
various Institutes according to the category of Candidates
The following table gives the expected score that a candidate should get
from the written test in order to get selected in the following institutes. Note
that the overall cut-off will be higher than the scores given below as the
score from Group Discussion and Personal interview will be added to the
written score to prepare the final overall cut-off. Thus a candidate may get
selected in the desired institute even with a slightly lower score, provided his
score from Group discussion and Personal Interview is on the higher side.
Note: The expected score given below is for Candidates belonging to ‘Open
Category’. The desirable score for Candidates having reservation will be
lower than the scores given above.
