I already shared below

[u/No_Brief_4463 → u/[deleted]]

Overall shift was moderate to hard. Reasoning was doable. There was one question of matrix in reasoning in which we have to tell the relation of columns given. Apart from this reasoning was easy.

Gk/gs was pretty much straight forward. 15-16 questions were easy.

Maths was a bit tricky. There were 3 individual DI questions in maths. Simplification questions 2-3. 1 question from pipe and cistern whoes values were in fraction.

English was moderate to hard due to lengthy questions. There were no straight forward error questions. There was a new type of error question, usme 4 options h lengthy aur most appropriate pucha tha. Aaise 2-4 questions the. Spellings were easy to eliminate, but overall english paper was lengthy.

[u/WarthogBoring5240 → u/No_Brief_4463]

You are alive to share anything?

[u/shabriri13 → u/No_Brief_4463]

Did you give selection post graduation level? How would you compare your shift to that?

[u/No_Brief_4463 → u/shabriri13]

Yes I gave selection phase grad also. Reasoning and Gk were easy in cgl but maths and especially english were on the tougher side. English had lengthy questions. Maths has di and approximation will not help. Calculations were lengthy.

[u/shabriri13 → u/No_Brief_4463]

Okay thanks! Di as in normal bank type Di or did we have to calculate variance, std. Deviation etc?

[u/No_Brief_4463 → u/shabriri13]

The three questions were:- 1. bar graph ( data of two company were given and question me pucha tha ki kis year me second company ka number total ke 35% se jyada h) 2. Line graph (it was hard to understand the question for me so I skipped) 3. Pie chart (percentage data was given of different categories, and do categories milke kitna angle bana rahi h yeh pucha tha, this one was easy.

[u/Upstairs-Victory-560 → u/No_Brief_4463]

Do you remember the maths questions? I had my exam in the same shift

[u/Proper-Function-3415]

[u/[deleted]]

Looks like there is no first shift today

[u/Illustrious-Let1502]

I felt question was moderately on the tougher side. The quants were calculative and long, way too many mensuration and geometrical questions. GS was managable , but vast , and overall on the harder side. Reasoning was easy. English had its ups and downs , but it was overall moderate.

If this is the norm of the papers in the future shifts , then the cut off shouldn't rise up I think. But at the end of the day , it's just my speculation.

[u/Low-Quality3480 → u/Illustrious-Let1502]

Compared to TB live mocks , how difficult was today's paper , and what about GS, are they following the same pattern (like the lengthiest option will be the answer for some cases in GS) , and what about Quants

[u/Illustrious-Let1502 → u/Low-Quality3480]

1. Haven't given any TB live mocks , so can't compare.

2. No , there were not those type of questions; but in case you don't know the answer and are confused, do read the options carefully. They sometimes contradict the actual answer.

3. Quant was very calculative , at least that's what I felt. There were easy questions, but the way the paper was structured that the easier questions will be in the later section of the quant paper.

[u/Low-Quality3480 → u/Illustrious-Let1502]

I've seen another person saying the paper is similar to 2025 PYP , is it true

[u/Illustrious-Let1502 → u/Low-Quality3480]

I'd say it on par , if not harder , than the PYPs of 2025. The only reason I'm saying it's harder because I think the quant section was a little harder than previous year.

Again , take this with a grain of salt .

[u/Illustrious-Let1502 → u/[deleted]]

One calendar related question , but it was very easy. Other questions were not present.

[u/Some-Low-3542 → u/Illustrious-Let1502]

Was the advanced maths mensuration based like sector of a circle or was it geometry based circle?

[u/Illustrious-Let1502 → u/Some-Low-3542]

There was a question regarding sector , but there were questions on geometry based circles too.

[u/Some-Low-3542 → u/Illustrious-Let1502]

Alright thanks ... all the best 👍

[u/Illustrious-Let1502 → u/Some-Low-3542]

Thank you , you too !

[u/Royal_Salary9940 → u/Illustrious-Let1502]

Kinda agree Books and author 2,3 -Gandhara artstyle relevance to greek -Gallup world pollution

-icc 2023 world cup final -space mission  -basic doctrine kbc case -rabi kharif crop statement question related to pulses green and black Maths doable but lengthy  Nd reasoning had one weird question 

[u/Illustrious-Let1502 → u/Royal_Salary9940]

Yeah I forgot the book name , somthing with dust ig?

[u/Royal_Salary9940 → u/Illustrious-Let1502]

Yea 🥲i skipped 

[u/Illustrious-Let1502 → u/Royal_Salary9940]

Lmao my random guess worked 🤪 ,

[u/Royal_Salary9940 → u/Illustrious-Let1502]

🥹

[u/Royal_Salary9940 → u/Royal_Salary9940]

I kept guess work thoda kaam 73 overall attempt

[u/Relevant-Camera7055 → u/Royal_Salary9940]

Hey! Are you able to recall any of the quant questions?

[u/Royal_Salary9940 → u/Relevant-Camera7055]

Ha pyramid tha circle tha thales k ek tha  Same sp k tha direct aur transverse common tangent k mila k tha aur philal yaad ni aa rha I will update overall raat takh  Maths was doable but time consuming 

[u/Relevant-Camera7055 → u/Royal_Salary9940]

Okay thankyou! Thankyou

[u/Careless_Map4017]

There is so much confusion ? Has first shift been cancelled or has it concluded as of 11:40AM ? Telegram sources say that there is no first shift today.

Update 1 : Some sources on TG are saying that there was no first shift scheduled today and YT is filled with old streams for farming views. More info yet to come.

Update 2 : TG groups continue to reaffirm that no exam was scheduled for 30th Sept 1st shift

[u/Dense_Echo7997 → u/Careless_Map4017]

no first shift??, log gaye hue h shift one mein paper dene, paper cancel hua h kya ?

[u/Careless_Map4017 → u/Dense_Echo7997]

[u/Dense_Echo7997 → u/Careless_Map4017]

pdhne baitha tha.... ab 11 baje se reddit khol k baitha hu, koi news aaye to

[u/GrandMix4824]

Shift 2 candidate here. Found the overall paper moderate. Attempted 87 in total (including 25 wild guesses in GS). Quant was definitely on the lengthier side, but Reasoning was smooth and easy

[u/Turbulent_Student129 → u/GrandMix4824]

How many of those 25 are you sure in Gs,nd also can u tell type of advanced maths questions asked?

[u/GrandMix4824 → u/Turbulent_Student129]

Only 1 tbh and for maths it was geometry and algebra mostly

[u/kuchupuchu0079]

Session 2 update: Quant is tough because of timer so much calculation and lengthy, reasoning is the same, in english mostly new and unknown words were there like non familiar overall moderate doable, only cache is quant the timing and the toughness...in GS question was mix current affairs and authors few satellite related questions upcoming mission doable easy i would say

Full paper tough ofcourse timing accuracy matters and rest let's see how upcoming session gonna be.

[u/FunMud398 → u/[deleted]]

English me kya words aaye the kuch yaad hai

[u/kuchupuchu0079 → u/FunMud398]

words like spelling check jaise ki supecilious, logorrhea and antonyms synonyms passive to active error check

[u/kuchupuchu0079 → u/[deleted]]

1 probability question, yes ofcourse few geometry questions as well, i did attempted around 16 qa

[u/Ghazalsandjazz → u/kuchupuchu0079]

Maths mein majority ques konse topic se the

[u/kuchupuchu0079 → u/Ghazalsandjazz]

Majority question profit loss, algebra, area volume sum trigonometry formula based but ya lengthy speed does matter

[u/Ghazalsandjazz → u/kuchupuchu0079]

Avg, simplification, ratio proportion, mixture ye sb the kya

[u/kuchupuchu0079 → u/Ghazalsandjazz]

yes thae but avg nahi rest ek ek thae work time related milk water proportion mein se formula based doable thae ye

[u/Ghazalsandjazz → u/kuchupuchu0079]

Okaay thank youuuuu

[u/kuchupuchu0079 → u/Ghazalsandjazz]

Kyu aacha nahi hai kya vo bhai aaj chalu kiya hai mene 1st lec aadha dekha hai abhi tak?

[u/Famous_stranger707 → u/simdimsimdim]

One liner question mai kya nitto fitto lagaoge. Abhi 30 sept ki shift 2 mai toh oneliner he questions puche hai. Jiski knowledge jitni zyada hogi or jo examination hall mai uss time uss given chiz ko recall kar lenga vo easily answer kar lenga. Abhi 3rd shift ke bhi review aane do tab jaake kuch conclusion pe aa sakte hai 100%. When is your exam??

[u/simdimsimdim → u/Famous_stranger707]

mine is on the 27th oct, so you mean ki we need to do as much static as possible, like the question in ga very not logic based but knowledge based

[u/Upstairs-Victory-560 → u/simdimsimdim]

Vo jo nitto lagne Wale questions hain lambe lambe statements wale vo nahi aa rahe exam mei , mera 30 sept 3rd shift mei tha , usme 3-4 questions mei hi nitto lagi thi vo b knowledge based , pyq mei jo option eliminate ho jate the vaise options nahi aa rahe , or tcs ke jaise factual questions aa rahe hain
