Overall this section was easy. A good strategy would be to attempt around 11-12 questions in 10-11 minutes.
Analytical & Logical Reasoning
Out of the 25 questions in this section, 12 questions were on Verbal Reasoning and the remaining 13 were on Non-Verbal Reasoning. The twelve questions on Verbal Reasoning were on expected lines - 2 questions on syllogisms, 2 on course of action, 3 on statement - assumption, 2 on Critical reasoning, 2 on cause-effect and 1 logically correct sequence question. All were fairly easy to attempt.
The questions on Non-Verbal Reasoning were dominated by Series questions (total 3). There were two questions each on Circular arrangement (one involving people facing inwards and the other involving people facing outward), clocks, family tree and coding-decoding. There was one miscellaneous type question. All questions were singleton questions and there were no set based questions.
Most of the questions in the section were easy to medium in terms of level of difficulty. The following table shows the break-up of the questions in this section.

Quantitative, Data Interpretation & Data Sufficiency
Out of the 20 questions in this section, 19 questions were on Mathematics and there was one singleton question on Data Interpretation. There was no question on Data Sufficiency. Overall this section was medium to difficult in terms of level of difficulty. The questions on Mathematics were dominated by Arithmetic and Modern Mathematics (7 questions). There were three questions on Geometry. According to some students, one question required understanding trigonometric ratios of 75 degrees, which is usually not asked in MBA entrance examinations.
Students reported that many questions in the section had ‘None of the above’ as an option and one question had an element of ambiguity (the symbols of pi and square root were misplaced). Following was the break-up of the questions in the section:
