]]> This post is a continuation of the previous post on how to build a strategy for PGDBA 2021 written exam in 4 months. The previous post focused on Verbal, Logical Reasoning and Data Interpretation sections of the section. This post talks about the Quant section and aims to provide insights on the Quant side of the preparation.

Below is a detailed break-up of the type of questions asked in the previous years’ papers.

Check our PGDBA 2020 exam analysis. 

Every year, the quant section of the entrance exam has 25 questions out of a total of 50 questions. The topics are based out of class XI and class XII Mathematics. About 37% of questions are based on Calculus – the majority of them around continuity/differentiability, application of derivatives and integrals, limits and determinants. About 23% of questions are related to Algebra – Complex Numbers, Quadratic Equations, Permutation Combination and Series. Coordinate geometry and geometry account for 20% of questions – covering circles, locus of a point, distances, equation of conic sections, formula related to triangles. Other topics include sets, functions, relations and functions and they cover the remainder of the section.

A single question might test you on multiple topics and is necessarily not limited to just a single topic. The above categorization is only indicative of the pattern of Quant section and aims to help you prepare for the entrance accordingly in conjunction with Verbal, Logical Reasoning and Data Interpretation.

The top 3 categories are Calculus, Algebra and Co-ordinate geometry which together comprises almost 70-80% of the quant section every time. This should be the starting point of preparation and the remaining topics can be covered in succession. Though Numbers aren’t covered as part of NCERT syllabus, a few questions in this category can be expected as can be seen in 2019. Do watch out for PGDBA 2021 Test Series + Preparation Package for more info.
