Syllabus, section by section
General Intelligence & Reasoning
Questions of both verbal and non-verbal types: analogies, similarities, differences, space visualization, problem-solving, analysis, judgment, decision-making, visual memory, discrimination, observation, relationship concepts, arithmetical reasoning, verbal and figure classification, arithmetical number series; also the candidate's ability to deal with abstract ideas and symbols and their relationships, arithmetical computations and other analytical functions.
General Awareness
The environment around the candidate and its application to society, current events, and India and its neighbouring countries. These questions will be such that they do not require a special study of any discipline.
