GENERAL ABILITY TEST
2 hrs 200 marks
Part A: General English. The question paper in General English will be
designed to test the candidate’s understanding of English and workmanlike
use of words.
Part B: General Studies: The paper in General Studies will include knowledge
of current events and of such matters as of everyday observation and
experience in their scientific aspects as may be expected of an educated
person. The paper will also include questions on History of India and
Geography of a nature which candidates should be able to answer without
special study.
