SET Pattern

All courses follow the main elements of the SET Symbiosis syllabus: General Awareness, English, Quantitative Aptitude, Reasoning, etc. All course papers will be multiple-choice questions for the SET entrance test in 2024. 

The General English section of the SET exam syllabus includes various topics of Grammar, Word Meaning, Vocabulary, Para jumbles, Fill in the Blanks, Sentence Completion, etc. The Quantitative Aptitude section of the SET syllabus includes all the topics of Mathematics from Class 9 to 10. The General Knowledge section of the SET exam syllabus includes topics on Current Affairs politics, sports Science, people and personalities, global news, awards and accolades, etc. The Analytical and Logical Reasoning syllabus of the SET exam includes topics that require analytical interpretation. 

General Knowledge, Quantitative Aptitude, and General English are the three areas of the SET exam that have equal weighting. If a question is answered correctly, one mark is awarded. Both wrongly marked answers and unanswered questions do not result in a mark deduction or a negative mark. Analytical and Logical Reasoning, the final section of the SET exam, is the one with the least weight. This portion consists of just 12 questions, each worth one mark. Each of the four sections has the same marking scheme. The SET exam's sectional weighting is shown below. 16 questions, 16 marks in general English Comprehensive Knowledge: 16 inquiries, 16 points Math Proficiency: 16 questions, 16 points Logical and Analytical Reasoning: twelve questions, twelve points
