Analytical and Numerical Ability in TISSNET

MBA aspirants who are taking TISSNET can expect a small number of very basic visual reasoning and inferential questions in this section. 

Also there may be a set or two consisting of basic DI questions which you need to answer on the basis of a graph or a pie chart. 

The remaining questions are quantitative ability questions not very different to those in the other exams. 

The subjects covered in the last year’s exam include time and work, quadrilaterals, numbers, averages, profit and loss, mathematical series, etc. 

You should be able to solve this section fairly quickly as all you need is a grasp on the fundamentals. This section had 15 questions last year.

No harm to prepare from CAT Mock Tests and be successful in TISSNET which is being conducted on coming January 13, 2013.

TISSNET 2013: Important Features

The first noteworthy feature of the TISSNET exam is that it hasn't had negative marking, sectional time limits or sectional cutoffs, at least for the last 2-3 years. 

This means that you have all the reason to focus on the sections you are good at and still can manage to score good in those which troubles you a lot. It also gives you the opportunity in the end to try your luck and take blind guesses for the questions which you were not able to solve.

The second thing is that applicants to the HRM program have to take two tests. The first one is common across all the 16 post graduate courses of TISS and it seeks to test your basic cognitive ability. The second test is different for each course and the one for the HRM program is more or less like any other management entrance test.

Prepare well and get success at TISSNET being conducted on January 13, 2013!!!

So avoid getting demoralized or disheartened by such statistics. It's not as much an examination of your knowledge base as much as it is of your nerves. Maintain a cool head during the examination.
