Strategy

AMONG ALL DI SECTION IS IMPORTANT

• This part is decision maker. There are 3 sets of 15 questions that has 5 questions in each set carrying 15 marks.
• Simplifications is a matter of past for PO level exams.

What to do from now:

• Many questions are repeated so try to solve recent year questions.
• Do not solve 3-4 years old questions.Solve sample papers.
• Use tricks to solve questions in less time. We will upload tips and tricks for some of the section as soon as possible so keep visiting the site.
• Give 35-40 minutes to this section. Giving more and less time can affect your sectional cutoff.
• Try to avoid lengthy questions, these questions are asked only to kill your time.
• Avoiding questions comes only by practicing so try to solve 1-2 sample paper per day. It gives you an idea about which question should not be solved.
• Solve at least 7-8 sectional papers before appearing for exam.

So from all discussion:

• Try to Solve 10-12 question accurately to cross the cutoff marks.(Depends on level of question)
• Focus on DI section
• Don’t give more than 30-35 seconds in one question
