The first slot was Moderate overall. No major surprises in most sections, but the GK section caught many students off guard with questions outside the standard syllabus. That one section could genuinely separate toppers from the rest.
Here’s the quick snapshot:
| Section | Difficulty |
| Legal Aptitude & Legal Reasoning | Moderate |
| Logical & Analytical Reasoning | Easy |
| General Knowledge & Current Affairs | Moderate to Tough |
| English Language | Easy |
| Mathematical Aptitude | Easy |
Legal Aptitude & Legal Reasoning: This section was Moderate. Questions were primarily based on Legal Current Affairs and assertion-reasoning type questions. Nothing too tricky if you had kept up with recent legal developments.
Logical & Analytical Reasoning: This was one of the easier sections of the paper. Questions were on expected lines, Critical Reasoning and Analytical Reasoning dominated. Students who had practiced regularly would have breezed through this one.
General Knowledge & Current Affairs: This is where things got interesting and tough. GK was Moderate to Tough, with several questions going beyond the standard syllabus. This section is expected to be the deciding factor between close scores. If GK went well for you, you’re in a strong position.
English Language: Easy and predictable. Grammar and vocabulary questions were on expected lines; no curveballs. No student should have struggled here.
Mathematical Aptitude: With only 8 questions and all of them syllabus-based and straightforward, this section was a gift. Don’t leave any of these on the table.
