DUET 2020 was conducted by National Testing Agency for the first time
and it was conducted in two different sessions for shift-1 courses and for
shift-2 courses in Delhi University.
The slots had different papers, which was evaluated through the process
of normalization, to ensure parity.
Special Remarks: 2020
1. Like last year, National Testing Agency (NTA) was assigned the job of
conducting the DUET this year also.
2. Like last two year, the questions were not divided into sections; and
were jumbled up.
3. Quantitative Aptitude: Surprisingly, this year, a majority of the
questions was from Quantitative Aptitude. 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. The difficulty level of the questions in this
section can be summed up as easy-moderate.
In shift 1, there were 2 questions from Permutation And
Combination, 2-3 questions from Arithmetic Progression (AP),
Geometric (GP), 2 questions from Limits, 1-2 questions from
Matrices, 1 from Trigonometry, 8 questions were from Functions and
Graph, 2 questions from Inequalities, 2 questions from Coordinate
Geometry, 1 question from logarithm, 2 Questions from Geometry, 2
Questions from Time and Work, 2 questions from Time-Speed &
Distance, 2 questions from percentage, 1 questions from SI/CI, 2
questions from Ratios, 3 questions from Algebra and 3 questions from
Number Systems.
General Awareness: Most surprising thing in the paper was the less
no. of General Awareness questions There were just 12 Questions in
Shift 1 and 10 questions in Shift 2 that too mainly from Current
Affairs. In Shift 1, 10 questions were from Current Affairs and 2
questions were from General Science - Diseases (Pandemic) and
Virus, this is also because of the current scenario of Pandemic
(COVID-19). Questions from Current affairs were based on Ranking
(Ease of Doing Business), 2 questions on Awards and Honours (Nobel
Peace Prize 2019 and BCCI C.K. Nayudu Lifetime Achievement
Award), Science and Technology (Parker Probe Mission – NASA),
National Security Advisor, Central Vista Project, full form of CMIE,
Deal for Digital India, 1 question was there from Business Awareness

Page 8 of 132
Entrance Exams 2020 – 21 (Patterns and Analysis)

i.e. on Merger and Acquisition. Overall, the level of difficulty was


easy. Every student must have felt comfortable answering the
questions, except for the fact that the number of questions was lesser
than expected.
In Shift 2, 10 questions were there, all from Current Affairs.
Questions were like Chairman of IRDAI, Ranking (Human
Development Index), Awards and Honours – Best Actor Award –
Dadasaheb Phalke Award, Chandrayaan – 2, UNESCO’s partnership
for Online Classes, Speaker of Lok Sabha, Unbreakable –
Autobiography of Mary Kom, UDAY Scheme, MGNREGA scheme,
Mergers of Banks.
Logical Reasoning: LR section in shift 1 had 31-32 questions and in
Shift 2 had 24 questions. Like other areas, the questions based on
reasoning were easy. The questions based on Reasoning were mostly
from Analytical Reasoning, with just a couple of questions from Verbal
Reasoning. The difficulty level of the questions can be summed up as
easy-moderate; and with proper time management, one could have
easily attempted most of the questions. In shift 1, there were 7-8
questions from Arrangements, 6 questions from Series and Sequence,
4 questions from Odd one out, 2-3 questions from Visual Reasoning, 1
question from each topic like Family Tree, Coding, Statement-
Conclusion, Clocks, Calendars and 4-5 questions on other topics of
easy level were there. In shift 2, questions from simple arrangement,
series, Visual Reasoning, Coding/Decoding, Critical Reasoning, Dice,
Directions and Data Sufficiency were asked. The overall level of
difficulty was easy.
Verbal Ability: Much like last year, the questions based on English
were easy. The total number of questions in Shift 1 and Shift 2 were
18 and 22 respectively. In shift 1, there was only one RC/Passage
with 6 questions, which gave students time to work with other areas.
The questions which followed the passage were direct and fact based.
There were 2 questions on Short passages, 2-3 questions on
Antonyms, 2 questions on Para jumbles, 2 questions on Fill in the
blanks, 2-3 questions on Active-Passive Voice, 2 questions on word
pairing. In shift 2, 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.
There were 9-10 questions from Vocabulary and Fill in the blanks, 2-3
Sentence arrangements questions, 2-3 questions on Active-passive
voice. And few other easy questions were there. Overall, the level of
this section in the paper was easy-moderate.

REMARKS proctored manner. As such, a number of changes were introduced in


the SET BBA 2020 exam pattern. Candidates were required to have a
desktop/laptop and an internet question to attempt the exam from a
location of their convenience. It was of 105 minutes test, which was

 Test duration reduced to 75 minutes from earlier 150 minutes
 Maximum Marks reduced to 75 from 150 earlier

Special Remarks
The Verbal Ability section consisted of 20 questions divided across
Reading Comprehension, Grammar and Vocabulary.
Reading Comprehension: There was one passage followed by 5
questions. The topic of discussion was “foreign policy” and the length of
the passage was approximately 200 to 250 words. One question was
vocabulary based, one was a specific detail question and the other three
were inference based questions. Overall the passage was of easy to
moderate difficulty level.
Vocabulary: There was a variety of vocabulary question types including
synonyms and antonyms, fill in the blanks, one word substitution,
identify the correct spelling, idioms and phrasal verbs. The words were
not highly uncommon and could have been attempted by a well
prepared student.
Grammar: Grammar was tested in two formats: Sentence Correction
and Fill in the Blanks. Concepts like prepositions, conjunctions and
verbs were tested and the sentences were very short and simple,
making it easy to attempt these questions in around a minute per
question.
Overall, the difficulty level was easy to moderate.
The Quantitative Aptitude section was the easiest among others.
Candidates expected it to be the most difficult and with majority
questions from Arithmetic. These questions were from Percentages,
Simple interest and Compound interest, Profit and Loss, Averages,
Allegations, Time and Work and Time Speed Distance. Except a
question from SICI, all questions were simple and straight forward. In
addition to this, there were questions on Probability, Set Theory, Surds
and Indices and Number series, which were again easy. There were 2
questions on Data Interpretation and 1 question on data sufficiency.
Overall, the difficulty level was Easy.
Like every year, General Awareness section followed its trend of
asking unconventional questions. There were a total of 20 questions,
almost equally distributed between Current Affairs and Static GK. Static
GK questions were based on World History (World War-I,

Page 113 of 132

Perestroika); Geography (related to Port Blair, waterfall in Meghalaya);


Important Organizations (Prasar Bharati, UNICEF, DRDO), and Art &
Culture (main language of Kerala, Pawl Kut festival of Mizoram).
Current Affairs questions were based on Awards & Recognitions (Times
Next 100 list, Dada Saheb Phalke award); Persons in News (Chief of
Defense Staff, Indian-American nominated to IBRD); International
Affairs (Russian war medal to Kim Jong-Un) and Sports.
The Current Affairs section was easy to moderate, while Static GK
section was Moderate to Difficult. That’s takes the overall difficulty level
of GK section to Moderate-Difficult.
The Logical Reasoning section had similar types of questions to those
of last year’s SET General exam. There were 5 questions on Puzzles, 2
questions on Coding-Decoding, 2 questions on Direction Sense, 1
question on Blood Relations and 1 question on Calendar. All the
