Recently, I got a query from one of the members of Biotechnologyforums at my email, about tips for preparation of Aptitude part of GATE BT exam. Thought to share the response with all of you. Hope the tips might help you all.

Well, one should never ignore the aptitude part, as it carries a good 15 marks weightage out of total 100. And, most of the questions are always quite straightforward for those who have had a glance of basic aptitude concepts in following 5 domains:

1. Quantitative Aptitude
2. Data Interpretation
3. Logical Reasoning
4. Verbal ability
5. Verbal Reasoning

And believe me, you just need to know the basics of solving aptitude questions in above domains (and not the super complicated/tortuous aptitude questions like those asked in CAT). The questions asked in GATE Aptitude part are actually quite straightforward. All you need is a little brushing-up of your skills. Following are the links to most appropriate preparation material:

A. Quantitative Aptitude
