Question

Hi, I'm not looking forward for  admission in XLRI as I know that one month of my preperation is not sufficient to get into XLRI, so I'm aiming for more than 85 percentile to get my admission in Tapmi Manipal, so could u plz shed some light regarding GK and Essay, as they both won't be considered for percentile calculation nor am I aiming to get admission in XLRI, is it ok to not at all attend the GK and Essay section... or could I just mark it blindly as there is no negative marking?!!

Apurva Pandya · Answer

we have to type through manual keyboard in Essay writing

Shubham Kuldeep · Answer

Yes you can leave GK and essay empty or just mark blindly. but still, try to do well.

Nikita Singhi · Answer

Hi,
Is Essay-writing paper based or we have to type through the keyboard or virtual keyboard?

Biswajit Sahoo · Answer

You have to solve gk as well as essay writing within 15-20 mins time frame. Believe me, gks are of very easy level and if you apply a little logic you can get at least 7 of them right.

Vishwa · Answer

you will get 165 mins to solve 3 sections which are verbal, decision making and quants. as far as gk and essay sections are concerned there is seperate time limit for both the sections. for gk i think its 15 mins and around 20 mins for essay.
