The test had almost the same structure as last year with 26 Questions on Verbal Ability and Logical Reasoning, 21 Questions in Decision Making and 28 Questions on Quantitative Aptitude and Data Interpretation. The General Knowledge Section had 25 questions. Three essay topics were provided, and candidates had to choose one to answer.
