-Data Interpretation and Quantitative Ability (QA & DI)

-Decision Making (DM)

-Logical reasoning and verbal ability (VA & LR)

-General Information (GK)

Each segment is intended to evaluate a candidate's proficiency in analytical, logical, and management decision-making domains, and all questions will be of the objective-type (MCQ) variety.

The General Knowledge portion is assessed independently and is frequently used in the last rounds of selection by institutions such as XLRI, even though the first three sections go towards the percentile score used for admissions.
