This year they have changed the pattern. t !as only 2 hours e"am. They have removed the pseudo code section. Total 7 sections !ere there # $ for aptitude and % for technical &' ( ')) ( JA*A, +,-, .ni"/. They have selected all the candidates !ho opted for JA*A in the technical section. There !ere 01 2uestions in total. There !as sectional cut off of 603 for aptitude section. For technical section, there !as no sectional cut off. 4ut in total as usual 603 cut off !as there. The total paper !as o56ective. 0.21 negative mar7ing !as there. +ection8 9. Analytical A5ility # 202 2. :attern ;atching # 912 %. 'omprehension # 902 +ection8 9. ' ( ')) ( Java # <e can choose one of them # 202 2. +,- # 912 %. .ni" # 912 Analytical A5ility remem5er only very fe! 2uestions. First t!o 2uestions related to sets. n a forest in total $2 animals are there of !hich 29 have $ legs n %0 have horns n 1 have 5oth. Then 9. Ho! many animals are there !ith only $ legs 2. Ho! many animals are there !ith only horns %. There is a die. <e can see only three sides of the die at a time. <hen % !as on the top 2, $ !ere on the ad6acent sides li7e that 2 more cases !ere given and !e have to find out the num5er !hich is on the opposite side of 2 ,uestions 1#90 are ali7e. T!o statements n one 2uestion !ill 5e there. All of them !ill 5e having the same options of a. The 2uestion can 5e ans!ered !ith help of only +tatement . 5. <ith help of only +tatement . c. <e need 5oth the statements to ans!er the 2uestions d. <e can=t ans!er the 2uestion at all. And remem5er some 2uestions among them <hat is the value of sin > ? n the statements are a. sin>cos>@0 5. sin>#cos>@0 <hat is the value of n?

a. 7%#n%@0 5. 7@0 s A@9? a. %A2(1A2@%(1 5. A4@9 A..li7e that ,uestions 92#96 !ill 5e having some num5er conversions. n general they !ill give the 5inary to decimal conversion indirectly. -i7e for us they have given the follo!ing instructions. n a num5er system, B represents 9 and C represents 0. B !hen shifted to left, !ill 5e multiplied 5y 2. +o $ is represented as BCC. And they have given the 2uestions li7e evaluate the e"pression li7e that. And in another paper sa! that they have given the same pattern e"cept that D represents 9 and E represents 0. :attern ;atching n pattern ;atching the follo!ing options !ere there for 2uestions 9#%. A. The e"pression is same as AF' 4. The e"pression is same as 4F' '. The e"pression is same as AF4 G. All are same. H.

He should have 603 till 92th in all the e"aminations 2. He should have minimum of 613 in graduation and 703 in post graduation And he should satisfy atleast one of the follo!ing conditions8 9. He should have recommendation letter. 2. He should 5e an athlet in atleast state level

9. Kahul have 623 in 92th, 713 in graduation n J03 in :L. He !as tennis champion in university -evel. &Ans8 not eligi5le/ ,uestions 99#91 also have the same type of 2uestions 5ut the selection criteria is different. 'omprehension <e !ere given a comprehension related to se2uential, direct memory addressing, inde"ing n hashing and 5ased on that 902 !ere there.
