The General Aptitude section in the CSIR NET exam tests the candidate’s logical reasoning, problem-solving ability, and numerical skills. Numerical computation, graphical analysis, and data interpretation are some of the topics covered under this section. It also deals with logical reasoning, including puzzles, sequences, and syllogisms, and series, coding-decoding, and relationships. Candidates are also tested on geometry, statistics, and probability. The General Aptitude section is common for all subjects and holds considerable weight in the overall exam. Hence, one has to be more rigorous in preparation. Previous year’s question papers practice along with mock tests will make candidates build up speed and accuracy in solving the questions. A good foundation in basic mathematics and logical thinking will be fundamental to achieve a good score in this section in order to complement the whole CSIR NET examination.
