The first filter in most campus and off-campus drives. What it covers, where students lose time, and how to prepare in four weeks.
Last updated
Percentages, ratios, profit and loss, time-speed-distance, time and work, probability.
Series, coding-decoding, blood relations, seating arrangements, syllogisms.
Reading comprehension, sentence correction, fill in the blanks, para jumbles.
Usually 60–90 seconds per question. Time, not knowledge, is the real test.
Most aptitude tests have more questions than can be comfortably finished, and every question is usually worth the same. Spending four minutes on one hard question costs you three or four easy ones at the end. The fix is a deliberate skip rule: if you don't see a clear method within about 90 seconds, mark it and move on.
Percentage-to-fraction conversions, squares up to 30, cubes up to 15, and standard time-and-work and relative-speed formulas save more time than any trick. A ten-minute daily AI Flashcards deck on the formulas you keep forgetting works well here.
Clearing aptitude usually leads to a technical or HR interview within days, sometimes the same day. Don't leave interview practice until after the result. See our interview preparation guide and the 90-second rule in more depth.
Percentages, ratios and proportions, profit and loss, time-speed-distance, time and work, number series, seating arrangements, and reading comprehension appear most often across placement tests.
With an hour or two a day, four weeks is enough for most freshers to cover the core topics and build speed. Timed practice in the final week matters more than extra theory.
It varies by company and test provider. Check the instructions before starting. If there is negative marking, only guess after eliminating at least two options.
Practise the interview round out loud and get instant feedback on clarity and structure.
