Syllabus for Main Examination
Paper I: General Studies
In this paper Questions will add General Awareness as well as General Intelligence & Reasoning Ability.
General Intelligence and Reasoning Ability:
It would add questions of both – verbal and non-verbal type. This component will include questions on analogies, similarities, differences, spatial visualization, spatial orientation, problem solving analysis, judgement, decision making, visual memory, discrimination, observation, relationship concepts, arithmetical reasoning, verbal and figure classification, arithmetical number series, non-verbal series, Coding and decoding, statement conclusion, syllogistic reasoning etc.
