DU JAT 2020 Analysis

University of Delhi in collaboration with National Testing Agency (NTA), conducted this year’s Joint Admission Test for admissions to Bachelor of Management Studies (BMS)/BBE and BFIA on September 07, 2020 in two different time slots. There were 100 questions to be attempted in 120 minutes.  This year the major surprise was change in distribution of the questions in the four sections. Each question carried four marks and there was a negative mark of one mark for each incorrect answer.  The mode of the paper was online. The paper had four sections and questions were jumbled.  The four areas were General English, Analytical & Logical Reasoning, Quantitative Aptitude, and General Awareness. The overall feel of the paper was moderate. However a few students reported that number of questions in the sections in two slots were different.

This section had questions covering conventional areas such as vocabulary grammar, completion, & comprehension. The level of the questions was easy except one or two moderate level questions. There was one RC with 5 questions. All the questions based on it were direct and factual. As usual this section was dominated by vocabulary, followed by vocabulary based questions. The questions were doable and should not have been given more than 15-20 minutes.

 The major surprise was change in number of question from 25 to around 33.Overall the level of Reasoning Questions was easy. Majority of the questions were from Analytical Reasoning, series, odd man out coding etc. AR blocks on circular arrangement and linear arrangement were easy and students found it manageable. The difficulty levels of both slots were almost same.

In this section also, the major surprise was change in number of question from 25 to around 38.Overall the  number of questions of basic math and higher math were nearly same. So one could have maximized his/her score by attempting maximum questions from basic math section as the questions from higher math were on difficult side.

This year, the General Knowledge questions were primarily from current affairs

Good attempt: 76+
