DU JAT Section-Wise Analysis

General Awareness

This section primarily focuses on Current Affairs. Questions based on personalities like Geeta Gopinth , Swatch Sarwekshan , Minister for Small and Micro Enterprises ministry etc. were quite easy. This year, questions from static GK outnumbered questions based on Current Affairs.

Students found General Awareness section moderate. One needs to be thorough with facts and daily headlines to crack this section.

General English

The topics included in this section were Spelling, Antonyms, Fill in the blanks, Idioms and Grammar. Candidates found this year’s English section doable. Since there was only a single reading comprehension, students got enough time to work through other sections. Vocabulary questions were comparatively easy while questions based on idioms and phrases were bit tricky.

Analytical and Logical Reasoning

Questions based on reasoning were easy. Students felt most comfortable attempting this section. This section was divided into two parts which were of moderate level but a bit time consuming.

Quantitative Aptitude

The difficulty level of this quantitative aptitude section was moderate. Most of the questions were from class XI and XII. 

DU JAT Result is expected to release in third week of July, 2019. Based on the cutoff, students will be allotted colleges and courses.
