  • The total duration of the exam is 180 minutes with exact 60 minutes to answer each section. The total number of questions is 100, divided into three sections. The exam will be divided into three sections namely, Quantitative Aptitude (QA), Data Interpretation & Logical Reasoning (DILR) and Verbal and Reading Comprehension (VRC). Candidates will not be allowed to switch from one section to another while answering questions in a section.
  • QA and VRC will have 34 questions each, and DILR will have 32 questions. Some questions in each section may not be of multiple choice type, instead, candidate have to type direct answers on the screen.

Especially VS Specially?


These two words may have similar sounds but you have to be choosy when you using it.

 Especially or Specially
This is a favorite question of grammar checkers. Most of the time there is little or no difference between the words especially and specially. 


Special is a common adjective. Specially is its adverb form. Special means "particular, distinguished in a distinct way, or designed for a particular purpose." Specially means "particularly, in a distinguishing manner, or for a particular purpose." 


Especial is an uncommon adjective. Especially, its adverb form, is much more common. Especial means "exceptional, noteworthy, or particular." Especially means "exceptionally, in a noteworthy manner, or particularly." 


In the sense of "particular" or "particularly," the words mean pretty much the same thing. Often they can be used synonymously. However, if you want to stress the exceptional or noteworthy quality, then especial or especially is a better choice. If you want to stress the distinctive purpose of something, then special or specially is the word you are looking for. 

Example: This program has specially designed macros for word processors.
(A distinctive purpose)
Example: He did especially well in All-Star Game.
(A noteworthy performance)

Laws Of Thermodynamics

The Three laws of Thermodynamics are as follows.

Zeroth Law:
When two are in constant thermal equilibrium with a third body then they two are also in equal thermal equilibrium with each other.

First Law: Law of Conversation of Energy
This law States that energy can neither be created nor be destroyed it can only be transformed from one form of energy to another.

Second law :
The entropy of an isolated system not in thermal equilibrium always increases.

Third Law:
Entropy of a system approaches constant value as the temperature approaches absolute zero.

Terms Used:
Absolute Zero: The lowest temperature that is theoretically possible.

Entropy : A Thermodynamic property that is the measure of a systems thermal energy per unit temperature that us unavailable for doing useful work.
