The Logical Reasoning section was a little difficult but I could attempt the questions asked”. She further shared that questions in the Logical Reasoning section were from Simple Interest, Compound Interest, Bar Graph etc. “The Service Sector section had questions that are normally in the books like what personality traits are required by people working at different job profiles in the hospitality sector. What will you do if a specific situation arises etc”, she added.

“It was nice but I had difficulty solving the Mathematics questions as they were tricky. Basically Maths questions were tricky but all the other sections were very easy”, shared Nitik Madan of Indraprastha International School. In the Numerical Ability section questions related to topics such as algebra, area of triangles & rectangles as well as investment principles were asked. He further shared that in the Aptitude for Service Sector section questions asked included, “If you are in the hospitality industry what would you do if you are interacting with guests. Another question was on how you would react if you see a person who has met with an accident, what would you do first, leave him or help him. Questions in the English section were similar to Class 12 English syllabus”. In the English section there were reading comprehensions. “Then there were some sentences and words which were underlined and we had to tell their opposites and meanings”. He further shared that there were 5-6 sections in NCHMCT JEE 2018 and each section was of 30 marks.

English section mainly had questions from unseen passages” he said.

Also appearing for AILET exam, a very confident student of NK Bagrodia Public School, Kunal shared, “I am not so fond of GK and my Quant is average, rest of the paper was good.

Most of the difficult questions in this section were from number series. The English section was easy and questions in this section were mostly from passages, basic filling the blanks, mark the correct sentence etc. GK section was difficult for me I knew very few questions. The Service for Aptitude section was easy”. As per Kunal answering questions in the Aptitude for Service Sector section was tricky because it had questions like what quality do people working at different posts in the hotel industry need and he shared that “it was quite tricky to answer this because all the four options provided were correct and so it depended on our thought process”. Also, this is the only section in the exam that has graded marking.
