General Awareness Section
Your knowledge of Geography, History, Political Science, Current Affairs, as well as Business Awareness, had to be sound to crack this section of the test. The emphasis this year was more on static and current GK, rather than Business GK. Attempting 10+ questions in this section would be considered ‘good’.

The one solace this year, as against the 2006 paper, was the absence of multiple correct answers. Overall, the difficulty level of this section was moderate to difficult, with a couple of speed-breakers thrown in between.
 
The composition of the section was as follows:
Topic Number of Questions Remarks
Overall 26 Weightage 0.38
Matching 2 columns 8 Easy to Average
Matching multiple columns 8 Moderate to Tough
Statement type 13 Blend of easy and difficult
