- Spatial Reasoning 10 Questions
- Concept Formation 10 Questions
- Abstract Reasoning 10 Questions
- Numerical Reasoning 10 Questions
50 Questions
The merit list will be prepared, based on the marks obtained by the candidates in Section 'A' and Section 'B' and this list will be used for short listing the candidates for interview purely on merit basis subject to minimum Qualifying criteria as decided by RAC.
