The questions asked in the GK section are from two domains i.e. Static GK and current GK. Static GK questions are questions from History, Geography, Civics, etc. while Current GK covers major events in news for the past 1 year. Major topics are international events, UN bodies’ Major developments in the areas of sports, geopolitics and important environmental agreements, eminent
personalities, sports, awards, and honours.
The paper consists of the main question which is reasoning based and students are not required to possess any prior knowledge of the law.
The AILET committee says that no reasoning-based questions will be asked without legal principles being given. But sometimes, in past papers, Legal GK- based questions have also been given. Students who thoroughly prepare from all usual areas such as Torts, Contracts, and Criminal and Constitutional law should fare well in this section. Major topics are Vicarious Liability, Strict Liability, International Law, Intellectual Property Rights, and Legal Awareness covering Constitutional Law and Polity.
The Logical reasoning section has a fair mix of Puzzles, Directions, Seating Arrangements, Blood Relations, Syllogisms, Series, Analogies etc. The Paper also has a few questions of Critical Reasoning.
In this section, knowledge of elementary Mathematics, that is, Maths taught up to Class X will be tested. The section has questions from topics like Number System, Profit, and Loss, Ratio and Proportion, Percentage, Geometry, Mensuration, Simple and Compound Interest, Probability, etc.
