TISSNET

I scored 94 out of 100 in TISSNET 2014 and it is the easiest management entrance exam in India in terms of difficulty level. The average CAT/IIFT/XAT aspirant will feel the QA/VA to be a breeze here. The deal braker is the time management and GK section. Do keep the following pointers in mind:
1. Exhaustive preparation of GK- especially pertaining to India. Do not wait till the last minute for GK preparation. Do read about govt. schemes and initiatives. Any major statutory body being formed, elections, etc.
2. Keep a good time for reviewing your answers.
3. Read the options very thoroughly as a lot of questions in QA can be solved by mere elimination of options
4. Accuracy is paramount- Don't solve all the questions. Anything around 80/100 is generally good enough to fetch you a call for the next stage.

Hi,
TISSNET: It is an online aptitude exam and is divided in three sections (weightage is roughly equal for each section, though subject to change every year):
Quant: If you are already preparing for other management exams then you will find the Quantitative Aptitude questions to be fairly easy. However, if you are only aiming for TISSNET then I would suggest you to cover all Quant topics that are covered in management exams. You only need to practice low-medium level of difficulty questions.
Also, in 2016, the paper had some questions based on Data Interpretation, therefore, again I would suggest you to be well-versed with different types of questions in DI on the low-medium difficulty scale.
Verbal: Verbal section again is fairly easy. You need to have a decent command over the language to score full in this section. Be well-versed with basic Reading Comprehension passages.
General Knowledge: This is the make or break section in TISSNET. The GK is both current and static and covers areas ranging from economics to geography to politics. Therefore, your preparation on the subject should be thorough. I suggest you to do the following to prepare the section:
Read newspapers daily
Solve online GK questions covering all areas (The Aspirants Committee of HRM & LR, TISS Mumbai posts sample General Knowledge questions every alternate day on Facebook)
Be well versed with the new laws
Read up in detail about the government schemes
Additional Information:
Practice sample question papers (Extremely Important, also focus on speed)
The cutoff is high (based on the difficulty level), therefore, aim at scoring full marks in Quantitative and Verbal section.
