The test will consist of four sections namely quantitative ability (QA), data interpretation (DI), comprehension & logical reasoning (CLR) and emotional quotient (EQ). The type and nature of questions will be similar to the other prominent entrance tests for management education. The medium of the test is in English language for all candidates. The sections during the test will appear in random sequence and there will be sectional time limits, which means a candidate will not know the next section and has to complete a section in a given time.
