English language:

This section will have at-least 1 comprehension and will also have questions from errors, Para-jumbles, cloze test, and fillers. To do well in this section you need to read at least one daily English newspaper to improve your language skills. We have seen that mostly all students never give proper time for this Section. But this Section requires maximum attention. So practice as much as possible otherwise it can be a hurdle that can stop you from going further.

Reasoning Ability:

This section will have minimum 2 puzzles, with questions on Syllogisms, Direction Sense, Coding Decoding, Inequalities and with other questions. This tests your mental aptitude and skills in attempting the questions. If practised properly, this can be the scoring one. To attempt good in this section, you need to have a plan for attempting this section and you will be in a state to plan by practising a lot. So, maximum practice is needed to score well.

Quantitative Aptitude

This is the section which is the most time consuming one in the exam. We are expecting minimum two DI and rest questions from arithmetic chapters. The approach should be different for this section. You have to chose easy questions first and then go for the tough ones. Don't go for all the questions as you have sectional cut-off to clear. Manage your time accordingly and you will be through.
