01Logical Reasoning: Structure Beats Speed
Logical Reasoning in MBA CET is mostly arrangement puzzles, syllogisms, blood relations, direction sense, coding–decoding, series and critical reasoning (assumptions, conclusions, cause–effect, strong/weak arguments). Build notation first: a family tree with +/− for male/female and horizontal/vertical lines for sibling/parent; a compass sketch for direction questions; Venn diagrams for syllogisms.

Abstract reasoning tests pattern recognition without language : figure series, figure analogies, odd-one-out, paper folding and cutting, mirror and water images, embedded figures, counting figures and 3×3 matrices. The variables are limited: number of elements, sides, lines, dots or shaded regions; position and rotation (45°/90° steps); size; shading alternation; and addition or removal of elements between frames.

Quant covers arithmetic (percentage, ratio, average, profit–loss, SI/CI, time–speed–distance, time–work, mixtures), number system, mensuration and geometry, and data interpretation . Most CET questions are one or two steps, so formula recall and clean conversion matter more than exotic shortcuts.

For RC, read the passage once for structure - the author's claim, the evidence, the turning point - and only then attack the questions.
