First one to post...Verbal was quite heavy in terms of number of questions.

Quantz and DI each had 25 question ...while VA had 40 questions

From my viewpoint,the questions were attend-able to a certain extent.

There were 4 passages,if my memory serves me right.

No comments on the other two sections he he

in terms of no of rc, sentence correction etc....

[sweetgalshruti]

Each and every question was of 4 marks each and 1/4th negative marking.
I got form no 222.there were 4 RCs.I found them less lenghty and less difficult.Some vocab based questions were there and correct usage of english.With 40 questions,I managed to attempt only 21-22
hope the best
