Difficulty level: Easy to Moderate. Good attempts? 72-83 out of 100. English was easiest (24-27), Reasoning solid (26-28), Numerical a bit trickier (22-26). 9766 vacancies up for grabs; so every mark counts. If you’re writing Shift 2 or 3 tomorrow, here’s your blueprint: don’t rush, manage time (20 mins per section), and nail simplification + puzzles. Candidates say RC was about a cricketer named Ken; unexpected but doable. DI was table + line graph. No surprises, just smart execution. You’ve got this. Keep calm, skip what’s blocking you, and come back. One shift down, many more to go. Stay sharp. The real race begins after prelims; only top 20x candidates move to Mains. So make every attempt count.
