GENERAL SECTION:
There is no specific syllabus.This is just to test the candidate's aptitude.The candidate's basic general knowledge on all things related to science will be tested.Basic Mathematics up to class 10th will be tested.There are analytical questions also to test the candidate's qualitative and quantitative ability.There will also be a few questions to test the graphical analytical ability of the candidate.No specific preparation is needed for this section.The candidates basic logic capabilities are tested to ascertain their ability to uphold a career in core science
